Super Rugby Pacific - round 8

Match highlights: Chiefs v Waratahs

🧵 3/4 ⤵️ #SuperRugbyPacific #CHIvWAR #SRP2026

speak tf up O'Keeffe if BPA is about to be penalised!! wth man #CHIvWAR

bad miss at goal from Jock. maybe 20m to the right of the posts #CHIvWAR

also some very bizarre NFL stuff happening before a player gets grounded - I can't unsee it now.

watch for attacking players taking out defenders before the player is brought to ground, it's really weird #CHIvWAR

#CHIvWAR Tahs are such a heart-breaking team. Consistently screwing up their 1% ers. Are they too scared to make mistakes? #Confidence #execution

plus ca change. that lineout only screwed up because the Chiefs jumped across #CHIvWAR

dunno how Joey Walton wasn't called for obstruction there #CHIvWAR

Am I perhaps letting the good enough be the enemy of the perfect #CHIvWAR

Look I’m not complaining at 37 - 14 up after 70 minutes but I still don’t think the chiefs have had a performance where it all comes together yet. #CHIvWAR

also the standard for in at the side of rucks for the attack is quite something - you come in at 90° and that's cool and normal now #CHIvWAR

of course, barely anything is actually pinged as foul play anymore - low force, over the shoulder tackle is just play on #CHIvWAR

high tackle and diving on a player on the ground on Sid Harvey, nothing doing 😎 #CHIvWAR

Angus Blyth has to be the worst buy from any team this year. way worse than he was at the Reds #CHIvWAR

what a dispiriting performance, not even with last week's win in mind. killed ourselves with so many errors. scrums, even, from the very start

zero steals by Pete Samu even, wth? #CHIvWAR

should've been a penalty for that jackal by Reilly. Doleman just has his own rulebook on that aspect it seems #CHIvWAR

everything's coming up Chiefs tonight, what a kick to bonk right to not go out in the in-goal 🫣 #CHIvWAR

halftime replacements for the Waratahs

Teddy Wilson off, Jake Gordon on

Dobbins off (2) Folau Faingaa on

Chiefs only 1, Sinkinson on for Narawa #CHIvWAR

yeah 23 - 7 feels so much worse after clawing it back to 13 - 7 😭 #CHIvWAR

nice forward pass to Taukei'aho not replayed. home directors eh 😎 #CHIvWAR

Waratahs getting pinged this week for all the things they were allowed to get away with last week #CHIvWAR #superrugby

Yet another chiefs dog

#CHIvWAR beers

wow we are lucky. should've gone for posts, the Chiefs! #CHIvWAR

wut. there was no contest at that lineout??? #CHIvWAR

By the end of this game, us Brumbies fans are going to wonder how we lost last week #CHIvWAR
#superrugby

Sid Harvey not as good as he has been too - should've dived on that ball that was a Chiefs try, dropped a pass and a forward pass just now #CHIvWAR

not just that clanger of a missed tackle, but a second too slow on passing and box kicks and it's killing us #CHIvWAR

Teddy Wilson having an absolute shocker tonight #CHIvWAR

boo we're wearing an away jersey for no reason 😡 (Waratahs) #CHIvWAR

Kiwi commentators really talking up the Waratahs' potential tonight, not sure how I feel about that 😅 #CHIvWAR

lol lucky they didn't have TMOs in 2006, nice push by Sivivatu to score haha #CHIvWAR
