The Chiefs broke their eleven game losing streak on Saturday when they defeated the Hurricanes The Hurricanes looked well in control up with 23 minutes to play but from then on it was all chiefs as the ran in three tries in nine minutes to sneak in front before Jordie Barrett kicked a monster penalty to wrestle the lead back.
The loss leaves the Hurricanes , and they will be desperate to save their season against the Highlanders. Dallaglio, a former red rose captain and World Cup winner, believes Jones must act decisively to engineer an exit from the current slump.
They got to a World Cup final in and were well beaten in that. Things have to change. I had hoped last week was a fresh start but there is something very wrong at present.
My concern is that it is not as joined up as we are all led to believe. The parochial local crowd streamed on to the field to celebrate the narrow win. There was big hits, it was physical and fast, it bodes well for both competitions. Was at Easts on the weekend and it was a great day. The game was high quality despite the humidity. It went both ways at various times and Gordan will be disappointed now to have closed the deal. Eddie Jones is done the the SD commentariat hate him and have the knives out.
Crazy that someone who has been that successful is under the pump. Having said that I still have not forgiven him for his Qld stint. The Six Nations this year has been absolutely pedestrian, although happy to put it down to covid for a year.
