Super Rugby Pacific | Chiefs v Blues - Round 8 Highlights 

I feel like he always has been, just being moved to 15 maybe knocked his confidence. Felt last internationals that he was bounds ahead of Mounga

He is going to lead the Blues to the final against the Crusaders

Wasn’t it just an concussion. He just needs water and done. Back on the field

Outstanding!

@@henrylapslie6990 because mo unga is a better 10.

It’s gonna be 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Crusaders will smash em bro

@@bwdown ahhhh farrkup uce

@@bwdown hahahaha will see uce

@@bwdown hurricanes could of smashed them easy but too many errors man 🤦😂

Oh sure, the Crusaders is not on form yet. Ps I love both teams.😊🌹🕋🇿🇦

As a South-African you make me a proud CRUSADER suporter.

Blues all day 💙💙💙

fark he's gun. Maybe a bolter for the Abs

Having a bogus obstruction call will help

@@seanyshepfit I don’t know man? You can clearly see Heem only has eyes for NaiNai-Seturu before the block runner hits him.

Need to work on their discipline, they can't afford to lose players to the bin against a team like the Crusaders.

@@seanyshepfit having 3 yellow cards should’ve helped but nope!

@@seanyshepfit Seriously.

Barrett > Mo'unga

@@khankake9576 no one should dispute that

@@khankake9576 every major international which the ABs have lost in the past few seasons (basically since he became an All Black), Mo'unga has started or been the primary at 10. In games where he's been subbed on with the ABs struggling on the scoreboard, they've always lost. It's tough to put blame on a single player and there's no denying his quality at Super Rugby level, but the fact is the Crusaders system flatters a lot of their individual players, and eventually a pattern becomes too obvious to ignore

@@Formakiwi yep its been going on for years, so many of them cant step up

@@Formakiwi Hopefully you understand that this not true...

Yes I agree .. however they still won without him.

@@nzrockdj Yes they did. Didn't want to take anything away from that. Just pointing out that they look much more composed with Beaudy at the helm

@@rapid1010 How come he is not kicking field goals.

@@MidSizeGMC Because Stephen Perofeta is much better at it than he is

A hard call considering moanas golden point try against the canes

@@marryjane6289 don't forget last week Ardie Savea's quick tap from 20 yards out brushing off 5 chiefs player to put canes within 1

Or the savea try vs the blues

@@warriorsofspiff that one broke my heart. Awesome try though.

@@warriorsofspiff golden point is the history moanas try.

Gotta get thru the crusaders first

2003?

Lol imagine being this confident after one title...in a competition where you avoided the strongest teams.

@@Islandkid679 the strongest teams made it into that final you muppet.

@@Islandkid679 can’t avoid if u didn’t even make the finals tf😂

Facts Bro... they messed it up. U cant defend barret at 10...

@@nesumhlanga8657 Ireland didn't have any problem.

Your boy is a wonderful ball runner . But he can't kick or co-ordinate a team to save his life . Could of beaten the lions but he missed 3 conversion's in front . He also couldn't co-ordinate the attack in our first loss to Ireland . He's been out played by sopoanga in a final the hurricanes were the favourites to win . 😂 If you knew how to analyze rugby . You would know the backs arn't the issue in the all blacks . The problem is our forwards are trash because the coach isnt picking the best players lols Anways have a good day . P.s mounga shits on Barret everyday 😂 .

@@lukec2226 got em lol 😆

I was the biggest Mo'unga supporter but watching him play for the Abs he can't defend. DC could attack and defend like a beast.

He's better than Mouanga kicking n Jordie

That is a very good question

Basically just a numbers problem - Waikato Stadium has a capacity of 25,800, and Hamilton has a population of 178,500, meaning 1/7ish of the city would have to turn up for the stadium to be full. By contrast in the NH, just to pick some examples: Exeter (pop 128,000ish) has Sandy Park (capacity 13,800) so it's closer to 1/10. Toulouse (495,000) has Stadium de Toulouse (33,150) so about 1/15. Newcastle (300,000ish in the city itself) has Kingston Park (10,200) so almost 1/30. Glasgow (635,000) has Scotstoun (max 9,708) so less than 1/60. Given the quality though, I think that over 1/7th of the city SHOULD show up xD

@@Arthur-wb6fs facts bro

Cos they knew their team gonna get smashhed

Yeah that should've been another yellow and a penalty try for the Chiefs

Are you blind lol his arm knocked the ball out. No shoulder at all.

Telea tho too?

Even Savea is back on that calibre haha

Yeah Nanai putting his hand up this year! So much talent don’t know who the ABs going to pick! Caleb Clarke and Fainganuku also in the mix🔥

Who knows how good Nanai could be if he was playing in a different team

@@MarkWhippy He did well with the sevens. I trust he would kill it with any other team.

A great example of how cards can make it really interesting. Cards don’t ruin games they just add new twists.

Probably need a new coaching staff or a new game plan

WTF, defense has always been Barrets strength. You are never going to be world player of the year on more than one occasion if you have suspect defense. You are never going to be an ABs fullback if you have suspect defense.

YES

Facts

Reckon

Better than bridge

Massive fan of Telea, bad part is he’s not a fullback. 14 is shoehorned as a 2nd playmaker at the back in NZRs shining bright eyes apparently. Regardless of how good he is as an out an out wing ; unless you’re in the power mould you’re not getting considered as much nowadays.

How would he go as a hooker ? ya dumb assed little brain !

stop lying to yourself

@@MidSizeGMC Please mention 1 player, who plays better than Beauden Barrett and I would erase my comment.

we miss having SA teams here too.

They've started notching wins in the URC finally. It's probably more fun than getting creamed by NZ teams most of the time, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Rugby is NO longer about the game ! ..it's about the MONEY,who which or where you can earn THE MOST ..just a FACT ! accept it !

@@noprobs3393 I mean like all careers I really get it but SA teams should’ve stuck it through eventually billionaires were going to invest in Southern Hemisphere franchises and make the game bigger, I mean as is we’ve had Jay Z investing in the sharks

SA leaving super rugby will have the biggest impact on the AUS and NZ game... SA was the competition that as of recent was the biggest challenge for NZ players, the physicality and speed of SA is just worldclass, on a good day they cant be beat.

Who do you drop to put him in though? Kind of crowded in the second row these days...

they won without him

@@MidSizeGMC no they didn't the Hurricanes Lost

Can take a man out of canterbury but can't take the canterbury out the man

Romano forgot that he wasn't in the saders anymore. Thats all.... clearly you don't always get caught - thats why he did it. You should watch closely the saders /hurricanes game.

They actually did deserve it unfortunately because they didn't play with enough urgency especially on their home turf. Thats 2 consecutive losses on home turf for the Chiefs if my memory serves me correctly ? Well done by the Blues they made their opportunities count on the scoreboard. Young Gatland needs to ignite that Chiefs back line with some explosive decisive running with the ball in hand a bit more instead of kicking possession away. Good game to watch all the same.

Deserve has got nothing to do with it.

@@brucefale6132 to bad Blues played better than the Chiefs

@@SamuelJohnsonYT you don't say.

@@brucefale6132 the Chiefs mite need a new coaching staff or a new game plan

LoL.

Aussie teams will be lucky to win a game 😂😂

oOooH scary!

They got carded, what more do you want? Blues defence too good

And that’s why chiefs are dropping on the table😂

LoL you sound like a sore loser to me 😂 .. why don't you mention the Blues down two men and still managing to stop the Chiefs from scoring. Obstruction call was right .. replayed in slow motion .. correct call.

Maya rasta... BB10

@@nesumhlanga8657 🤣🤣 hatibatike zvekumhanya. Jah man Mounga ndiye aneyese

If you don't know then maybe rugby isn't for you.

@@brucefale6132 Or maybe he just hasn’t paid attention? Keeping up with injuries doesn’t mean rugby is for you. He’s also most likely a fan outside of New Zealand since his last name is “O’Doherty”.

@@oscargt3951 any other guesses?

@@oscargt3951 I’m from London England lol big time difference, I haven’t got time to follow th news over there man but I was excited for roger to come onto union future abs 12

@@LanceODoherty5905 got badly injured in his first full game of the season. Prognosis is he probably won't be back this year. Kinda ices his All Black prospects unfortunately.

The coaching staff probably doesn't know what to do with the Chiefs

Too many damn glitches

It wasn't controlled pressure though. You can't just fall on the ball and claim a try.

There are two ways to score a try. Carry (or hold it) and place it on the ground. Or apply downward pressure on it if you're not carrying it. He wasn't holding it because he clearly lost it. He did get downward pressure on it with his body but he's already lost it forward. You need to revisit it and use slow motion on your player. He lost it and did not regather it before it touched the ground.

U saw from the front view Ofa actually got his arm across in time to making it a legal tackle. Which led to him hitting the ball out of Taukeiahos hands. How many yellow cards u want😂

If he didnt wrap his hands then how did his hands reach rhe ball and knock it out of tauke hands

@@jsmwh Tuungafasi hands didn't touch the ball. He hit and pulled Samisoni near to arm so he dropped the ball

Bruh you are too one eyed. 3:15 his arm is literally wrapped around the players body which is the only reason he was able to knock the ball out.

That was a shame try from the hooker😂😂 two men down stil shit in their pants

Yes, the Crusaders are 2nd, the Blues are on top.

Bruh all day it’s an obstruction!😂 Cane ran his line so bad he impeded the defence first where Heem had to tackle both players at the same time.

@@d_uzooo3972 yeah I thought so too, Heem was watching NaiNai-Seturo before the block runner hit him, the try in the corner that was ruled was tough though, I thought NaiNai-Seturo had scored (but being a Blues supporter I was happy it was ruled no try) and there wasn’t conclusive evidence to overturn the refs initial call of try. IMO

@@Odinson1604 fr bro it was 50/50! But yeah being bias too I was happy the boys held that defence all game👌🏾💯

I think Paul Williams already helped you guys enough with the three cards.

@@d_uzooo3972 Heem picked the wrong man,not once did he even look to mark Nanai-Seturo

I’m a blues fan but it was the right decision. Before that Reiko deliberately knocked the ball on and then right after Sam Nock holds the player down stopping him from recycling the ball near their try line. It was definitely cynical and if that didn’t get yellow Reiko would have.

🧂

Wasn't relayed enough in these highlights to show well enough; looked fine, and the ref was right there

It was a try mate.

I watched the entire game and that never came up for any review

Lol, he had control the whole time, it never hit the ground out of his hands.
