Do we know if there’s going to be a north v south game again this year?
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Will be hitting the pub for this one, thinking Saders by less than 7.

Great turnaround for the chiefs this year, got absolutely spanked last SR NZ!
And on the 7th day, the Lord said "Let there be Finn Russell".

The Saders will probably win at a canter... so naturally I'm backing the Chiefs by 10.

The games that they were losing in the last minute in 2020 they have won this year. It certainly feels a lot better.

Zero expectations tonight though.

Christ. NPR is riddled with secret chiefs supporters. Proper “neutrals”

(Well anti Saders - more realistically).

You think the Gatland for Gatland substitution has turned them in to winners Enz?

Not really - they take a while to adjust to a new style is all. If you look at the stats we play a completely different game now

But genuine neutrals would probably side with the underdog against the 4-time champs in any competition, no?

Good innovation with the 13-man lineout. Would a Gatland side have done that?

Enjoying this - fingernails are getting a bit of a hiding but the game is nice and tight.

Pity DMac missed that kick right on half-time

The way McKenzie is missing kicks I can only assume he’d rather not hit the front so that he can try for six wins in a row at the death.

This is a great game but with Taylor off, it could be tilting the Chiefs way.

Mo’unga outplaying DMac so much, you want them to just stop the fight.

What where the Chiefs thinking when, with a man advantage, first phase ball of their own scrum at their own ten metre line, they sent a big aimless kick to Richie Mo?

Dumb as fuck
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Since the Saders went to 13 men, Mo’unga has toyed with DMac, tactically.

Whatever the outcome, this is more evidence against the “Mo’unga goes missing in big games” brigade. Admittedly, they seem to exist largely in the Stuff comments section which isn’t the greatest place to go for insights.
