BS at the end there. The Saders giving away a shitload of penalties and no card....I know the game was gone but even still.... Marshall played terribly. Didn't suit being at 15. When Milner-Skudder slotted back there it was much better. Black played well but Barrett would have made a bit more difference. Nadolo pretty much won that game. Nonu was shit.
Fuark. Upset win for the Saders there. They are really lifting their game atm and pushing hard for the playoffs. Nadolo is a fucking machine.
I didn't see the game, but I can imagine how he played. I got pooh poohed a month ago for calling him the best offensive wing in Super Rugby. Savea is probably better all around as he can actually catch the high ball and has better defensive positioning.
Let me tell you what, in terms of pure ball running, ability to beat defenders and finishing, he is not very far off the best in NZ.
Long way to go in this game. Landers also getting the home town calls which will even out in the 2nd half hopefully.
Landers!!! That's an owning. Too strong. Chiefs just too many errors and nothing coming from their attack.
Although, Landers must be content with making the play offs because it's said they'll be resting Aaron Smith, Ben Smith and Fekitoa - whilst I know these blokes still have one week off required, you'd think they'd rest them in the last round against the Blues....
The Landers were really impressive. Historically they suck against the Chiefs, but they sure got that monkey off their backs this time round.
Too easy. Blow out in the first half just like in the other game the Landers' rested all their AB's. You'd think Joseph would have learned not to have rested all his AB's after that one (especially against the Canes) but there you go.
