Yep. The dunderhead.

if they have a weakness, its that they still grind through phases even after they have created a break/got behind the defence, almost too safe, but predictable.

I was going for your one worder

Poite letting an obvious scrum pen and then a couple at the ensuing maul. Very un-French.

yep, Chiefs were shunting forward and Glasgow clearly wheeled and broke up.

Andy One-eye Nicol actually said he was wrong there, miraculous

True but when it’s as successful as it is I can understand it.....and I say that as an ex-FH who spent a lot of his time screaming ‘ball.....give me the ball...give me the ****ing ball.....the oval white thing, give me the oval white thing.....oh ffs’.
The decision of when it’s not working on field is the crucial thing.

oh yes, its a minor criticism

Good from Poite there, no need for an HIA, it's already failed.

As. SH, if you want the ball, then stand where you're told, and be willing to move forwards onto the thing. I know you feel safe back there, but you're no use to anyone there, and even less use owner you don't want to make forwards and fumble a perfectly delivered ball because your breadbasket is 2m further back than it should be.
If you do all that, then I'll do my best to convince the fat blokes to let me have it in time, otherwise I kinda need to keep them sweet.

By sweet, I assume you mean cake.

I rarely blamed a scrumhalf. Us backs have to stick together against the fat lads.

White's pass is crap

yeah, but I'm the one who needs to negotiate with the buggers, they just want to pick and go four times and then lose possession!
I never should have let them watch that rugby league match!

great defence that.

Simmonds made a horlicks there..perhaps a bit harsh

But, but, but... He's an international, and brought in specifically to keep Maunder and Townsend out of the shop window ahead of 2019.

Chiefs are too inaccurate today to play their game; lineout is stuttering, and missing tackles too.

lachie turner ignores a 3 on 1

Woodburn should finish those. He only had three men to beat.

Game has Chiefs nightmare written all over it at the mo
