Well done to the Chiefs!
Their attacking play was simply sublime. They won the breakdown battle and were smarter than their opponents.
The Stormers should never have made those prop substitutions so early, not with a scrum so dominant. They also started with the wrong halfbacks. Tactically, they ended up playing right into the hands of their opponents.
Some disappointing decisions made by the Stormers' management before and throughout this game.
