The chiefs players came on and stopped all momentum.
Think the biggest issue was the best chief went off. Vaa'i is quickly making himself one of the most important players we have on the field.
Day and Night difference between Vaa'i and Finau.

He was certainly the danger man targeted by the Wallabies in 2003 - and taken out by George Smith .

I'm not a fan of the rearranging the team for substitutions. It causes disruption and cohesion issues. Outside of injury players should be replaced directly. Having Kirifi on the bench as a substitute for Lio-Willie doesn't make sense. So just to clarify, your gripe of the day is that Robertson is ...
