Huxley did well, and was cool under pressure, and could have had a point too. I really liked how To'omua played - with Cooper he looks the best of the young #10s running around, but more orthodox than Cooper. Best game I've seen Phibbs play.

+ To'omua, McCabe, Hooper, Cob, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper),

ok but could've done more
rocky, moore, both locks

the front row were off tonight

brumbies should have played it through the backs more when they were getting smashed at the b.down.

Love to see Huia Edmonds get more game time, thought To'omua showing signs of Halangahu one trick pony with dummy & step(his passing was excellent though, should get better over time, he just needs to pick his moments to run)

Why were they not using backs when referee playing advantage inside the 22?

Thought Colby Fainga'a had great debut.

Thought Phibbs was good but his option taking wasn't great when the Brumbies backs should have been given the ball.

Agreed, he certainly had tunnel vision when the Brumbies forwards were putting all that scrum pressure on the Chiefs line.

The rest were work shy and falling off tackles.
