The Chiefs with a try to regain the lead, Hika Elliot going over at the back of a rolling maul after good work from the Chiefs pack at the lineout.
Yes boi
Barrett with a stamp to the head of Vant Leven, sounds bad but when you look at it there was no force in the stamp
What happened
What for?
After a period of possession Baden Kerr stabs through for Piutau, who races on to the ball and dot down just before it goes dead. Kerr nails the tricky conversion, to give his side the lead with 10 mins to go before half time.
Controversy here, Kane Barrett sent off for stamping on the head of a Chiefs player at ruck time. On second inspection it looks harsh, Barrett didnt appear to make contact with any kind if force. Reckless more than anything.
Blues on top at the moment, attacking with ball in hand but yet to break down the Chiefs defense.
Special try from the Chiefs, beginning with a huge hit from Renen Ranger of the Blues on midfield. The Chiefs recycle and go blind to Cruden, who makes ground before handing off to Vant Leven. Eventually the ball is spread wide and quick hands from Nanai-Williams puts bundee Aki in in the corner.
The Chiefs are given the opportunity to level the scores straight from the kick off as the Blues concede a penalty. Cruden makes no mistakes to make the score 3-3, 10 mins gone.
