That was a shocker.

Body weight planted. trying to jackal and a lock hits your knee side on.

Im fucking furious.

That toe rag has already been sent off this year for a head butt.

[booboo]

Well. We let them back in didn't we?

Should have shut the gate on them.

Rieko should have been hungus.

Sami should have stuck with the maul.

Ref doesn't like our scrum.

The players have to take ownership there for not scoring against 13.

They are dumb. No discipline with ball in hand. We thought we had in won 10 minutes in, chip kicks, scrumming outside our 22.

Why was Darcy Swain not given a red card????????????????????????????????

Havnt seen such a cowardly act from an Aussie since Dan Andrews closed the Victorian borders.

That shit move started and failed with the massive cut out pass from Mounga.

Just needed to go thru hands to Jordie first.

Keep it fucking simple please!

It failed because RI threw a hospital pass to BB. That's all.

Bullshit. It failed because of a massive cut out pass that was not needed.

All that was needed was putting the ball thru hands... Mounga, Jordie, RI and Beauden or RI just holds it and scores.

That cutout pass was just stupid as it allows the defence to slide.

[nostrildamus]

2nd half, simple tactic, give the ball to Samisoni.

The boy is a phenom.

[canefan]

We are Fozzie's Chiefs in disguise 🥸

[Bovidae]

Oh well, those that wanted to see Jordie at 2nd 5 will get their wish for a full half.

Poor captaincy from Whitelock to not have an extra player in that defensive scrum, and Smith for not getting the ball out ASAP.

I disagree. That cutout pass has worked well so often. There was no reason to think it would fail this time. It failed because of RI; or BB.

And to Caleb as he makes ground with every carry.

[Damo]

The concern I have is that we have had multiple chances to score tries and haven't been able to convert. NZ used to be the masters at taking half chances and turning them into tries.

Currently our lack of finishing is hurting us badly.

Oz defence was compressed and focused on Jordie. It looked the right play from ground level.

[chimoaus]

I hate to say it but are we better balanced with SB and Whitelock at lock with BBBR on the bench?

[canefan]

Just watched the replay, Caleb ran away from his support. The trailing runner would have been over in the corner

[Tim]

Quite chopped tonight, seems our scrum is weak, and we have not been executing when we have good ball.

Also, it will surprise you to learn that we have a pretty mediocre defensive pattern.

[Victor Meldrew]

At least we haven't completely gone to pieces and given the opposition a 12 point lead....
