Big night for Jacobson. Bit of a forgotten man of NZ rugby.

@Tim most likely in the 4 names for Captain of ABs he is tho.

Also a big opportunity for Sione Ahio. Off contract at end of season?

@TheMojoman said in Crusaders v Chiefs:

I'd really like to see the Chief step up and win in Christchurch. I think for them it will cement their status as contenders or pretenders. Yes they're without DMAC but the Crusaders aren't the Crusaders of old.

Also it would be great to see the Crusaders lose both their final games, at home and slide out of the 6.

The trauma is strong in this one.

Tim

A pretty clear case of not-rolling/releasing.

Tim

Nice ruck speed from the Chiefs.

Donsteppa

Nice try. Great work against some soft cover defence.

KiwiMurph

Well done Chiefs backs there

Tim

Surprised that Jacomb is kicking below 70%. Sharp passing in that movement.

I'm not when I saw the kick....

Is it me or does Kyren just look a more well rounded player this year? He was an absolute turnstile in defence last year but he looks markedly better this year.

It's not just you. As the season has gone on he has gotten better and better. A function of going from a cellar dweller team to a top team

Straight through Sevu like it was nothing

Tim

@Landers92 Insane that he was an AB last year or the year before.

Yeetyaah

Great steal Vaa'i

KiwiMurph

Hotham has some real wheels

Donsteppa

Now sleepy D from the Chiefs down that side of the park...

Landers92

LCF could have ran a few more steps and tackled him normally there. Be regretting that when he sees the replay

good start from both teams good watching
