To'omua is a going to be a great player. Just lacks experience. Well done Chiefs but Dickenson did the Brumbies no favours. I thought the Chiefs scrum should have been penalised but such is life.

here here. i thought dickenson had a bad game. breakdown was handled poorly. the chiefs were consistently diving straight to ground to seal the ball. no team gets that much ball/time in the opp 22 without some help.

Brumbies should have kept it close instead of going wide after every 2-3 phases, didn't hold the ball long enough in attack especially in the 2nd half.

They needed players like Alexander & Moore hitting up on the fringes more often.

I thought Salvi had a big game he really is class as did AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) who set up the try & saved a certain 7 points when he ran down Sweeney.

It's a shame To'omua didn't find touch at the end as I reckon the Brumbies may have stolen the win.

Dickenson was very good. You can credit him with the game getting the right result, not blame him for the Brumbies losing. He was his usual knowledgeable, accurate, fast and fair self.

The UnZid commentators all agree that Stu had an outstanding game. That franks his performance, surely.

Nearly put my head through the box. The Chiefs were flopping all over the rucks and Stu just let them go. Woeful officiating - have no idea how he could allow it. Towards the end when the Brumbies started getting soem momentum the Chiefs fucked up their ball by just lying on top of the ruck.
