Well I was wrong again, thought it would be the Bush Donkey's discipline that would cost them, but it didnt really play a part. They were strangely passive in attack, but credit to the Chiefs for the intensity of their defence.
The creativity of the Chiefs in attack, and counter attack in particular is awesome and it will be a good team that can break that down this year.

Holy shit, when did the Brums last get pantsed by 25 at home?

your statement that any tackle has to start with grabbing something with your hands. I said that you should lead with the shoulder for solid impact, then grab. Doesn't matter.
Topic: very good game by the Chiefs, Brumbies weren't playing particularly badly IMO, Chiefs just had a very, very good day. Ref was good. Very happy

Well, that was tough to watch...........
The Chiefs put on a masterclass in attack........... just their basic skillset was a class above anything you'll see from an Australian team.
The Brumbies shot themselves in the foot too many times when they had an opportunity to be in the game in the first hour..............
I'm not sure why they changed tactics this week in regards to going for goal instead of the line when they get a penalty out wide?
Brumbies look like they were thinking about the bye week with 10mins to go..........
And some of Gardner's decisions at the breakdown left me puzzled......... kinda forgot about the whole releasing the tackler/hands in the ruck thing, but them's the breaks I s'pose.

I'm pretty certain they gave away less penalties than the Chiefs............
Their discipline this year really hasn't been an issue, except for the blowout against the Cheetahs last week.

Well, with 40% of our professional players being coached by Michael Foley and until recently Richard Graham and the Waratahs with the wobbles, I'd say Bledisloe victory isn't on the radar at the moment. Even allowing for the fact that all our players will lift under Cheika's coaching.

Ok, I really enjoyed that. Geez it hard not to like Chiefs, I get the impression they play with such joy for the game, kind of like give me the ball and let's seewhat I can do, particularly DMac and Lowe. Cruden really controls things well, his skill set seems to be pretty good. Suspect Weber will be 9 for ABs in next few years if he continues to improve.
I still enjoy watching players of the class of Pocock and Fardy playing for any team as well. all in all think we can go to bed happy with the game tonight.

Bit of a scrappy tight head though from messy scrum. Chiefs scrum was under pressure all night, but the rest of their game was awesome.

Brumbies looked lost and confused without their kick-to-corner then truck-and-trailer rolling maul and watch Pocock flop over for hat-trick try.
Please do not tell me the Blues have to travel down to some tinpot Hamtown Stadium next Friday night to play those offloading bogan hick freaks.
If the best D gets ransacked to the tune of 40-odd, the Blues will get eaten alive, shat out at halftime, reheated, then eaten again slowly with ravenous relish, bones and all. Final score, 3 plays 82.

Blues should trademark "Jailbreak" and get the Chiefs on a legal technicality.

I have good news & bad news. The good news is that, yes, you do. The bad news is that YES YOU DO!!! Sorry 'bout that, my inner Hambogan momentarily breached the perimeter....... Oh & all four of wifey's Ham-resident girl cousins will be in the stands to jeer your boys/ cheer their boys on (& all four make me & their brother look like half-assed supporters lacking in vocal power & spittle production. Just sayin

Yes, it was more the typical irony, you posted about their scrum issues so of course straight away they win a tight head!! Doh!

How long do u think it will be before Australia's skill set catches up with NZ? With oz changing up the pathways to give make it a cleaner transition from amateur to pro will we see achange in say 10 years ?
It must be something that the academy's over there do differently than we do ?i don't think nz has better players all round at school level . It's what they from school till pro level that separates them from us.

As much as I wanted the Brumbies to win, I have to say that conceding almost 50 at home to the Chiefs puts their demolition of the Force into perspective. The Chiefs are just too fucking good.

Brumbies looked weary tonight after returning from the republic. Congrats to the chefs... They served a Better rugby menu tonight... The bye week will be good for the lads...we know they are a better team on their day...
