They declined a penalty goal while down 4 points after 70 minutes (and immediately turned it over from the resulting lineout).
In the final 10 minutes, the Chiefs won two more penalties within easy kicking range that would have won them the game if they took the first one. Unless it's the last minute, ALWAYS take the points. Shambolic decision making in what was a piss-poor first up effort for the Chiefs. |

Chiefs  
Over
Well can not believe what i watched, i was very mad after that, so many chances to get the win and my over and just didnt happen what the hell was going on, they are going to have to mature as a team if they want to improve and play winning football before trying the expansive stuff. Need my last couple plays to atleast turn my weekend around.

I was stunned by this too. Would have made it 22-23 with 10 left. Plus, a lot of Over 44.5s would have hit.
What a shocking decision.

Round One of Super Rugby is always a crap shoot.
Don't discount the Six Nations as well Snake. Lots of great value to be found there!
