Big game for both teams.

Chiefs need to win to stay in touch with the Sharks and Canes need to win to stay in contention for the top 6.

At this stage with teams not named I am leaning towards the Chiefs.

[TRF Mr Fish]

Haven't even got over the last game yet and already there are ten points on the board on this one!

 

[Darwin]

Barrett has some good skills

Aki seems to have put on some beef this year...

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

I feel like this wind is a big advantage. Chiefs need to capitalise.

 

[Darwin]

.... and the Canes score another try, this time to Savea. Canes looking very dangerous at the moment.

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Chiefs are making good ground every play, but they're losing the ball in possession too often.

 

[Darwin]

HT: Canes with a good lead. I agree with Mr Fish - the Chiefs need to hold onto the ball. It will be interesting to see how long it is before Cruden is introduced....

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Dumb penalty for the Chiefs to concede.

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

And now an even dumber one. Do props even have brains?

No.

Fantastic set play results in a try for Savea. Chiefs are going to struggle to come back from this (even with Cruden on).

 

[smartcooky]

Chrissakes, the canes are gassing them!

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

That should be a penalty try.

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Maybe not...

 

[Darwin]

That should be a penalty try.

Disagree. It was accidental, and there is no guarantee the Chiefs would have scored. I don't agree with the yellow card either - what exactly did Goodes do wrong? He was simply getting back in position.....

Maybe not...

I agree

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Would be nice if the ref penalised both teams in the mauls instead of just the Chiefs... Vito was clearly offside there, and there was a truck and trailer before the last try.

Perhaps the Chiefs should just stop cheating in the mauls - that would remove half of the problem
