They've served up some real garbage plays to complement the Crusaders better form tho. Is there anything worse than your halfback taking a midfield turnover and booting it out on the full? very un-kiwi like behaviour.Chiefs expecting the 'Saders of weeks gone by, not years gone by

Thought that young 10 has been alright.No DMac no Chiefs.
AgreedThought that young 10 has been alright.
Did I hear right that this is his first Super Rugby match?Thought that young 10 has been alright.
They were in it until about 73 min.Yup. And then Ioane comes on for him and immediately and throws the game losing intercept.
Yep John, he came off bench for 10 mins in one game at 12. I been on this kid's bandwagon this year, I watched him a fair bit last year as he took over as the No1 10 for Taranaki, and have kept saying by end of season he will be move ahead of Ioane for Chiefs. I personally have him (for the Naki) as ahead of Perofeta who plays for the Blues!Did I hear right that this is his first Super Rugby match?
Well I didn't see the rotation of players being the cause of the loss, more the Crusaders extracted digit and got stuck in. DMac is injured so out anyway. I like the idea of not just resting players against easier teams anyway, the boys have to be prepared to play anyone.Stupid Chifs throwing the game by rotating players when their next match is against Moana ffs. Even if they did lose to Moana with their C team, after likely beating the Crusaders with their A team, who cares? It actually would've been ideal because the Crusaders would still be on a big fat donut while another bottom four team would accrue more points, thereby making it harder for the Crusaders to make the postseason.
I hope McMillan steps on a Lego piece every week for the rest of the season on his way to, yet again, failing to win another title.
