Sounds like he wanted to do the in goal replay so the crowd could see it. They weren’t seeing what we were seeing on TV. Never heard a ref do that before

Sign me up for Hutchinson. Making every post a winner.

TJ is clearly signed up, I think he'd mentioned he's from Chch at least 3 times so far.

Donsteppa

Cracking start to the game.

Luke (side entry ) Jacobson

Landers92

Nice work from Newell to trap him in the ruck there. The dark arts

@Fale009 said in Crusaders v Chiefs:

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

He's gone from being built like Code Vai to being built like Macca Springer

Donsteppa

Fair warning...

How long is Hutchinson signed for? He gonna be the next Brodie/ALB/DMac?

shocking reffing

KiwiMurph

Leicester is very useful around the fringes.

Donsteppa

Well rewarded for a relentless few minutes of play.

Still getting used to Lester in 7.

Yeetyaah

Doleman allowing the Crusaders 30 seconds to clear the ball after a maul collapse what a guy

2 years mate. End of 2027

Donsteppa

Have we had the ball in the last five minutes...

KiwiMurph

Dumb from Fihaki - did the hard work

I was stunned he didn't call the Chiefs for collapsing it

Landers92

Good first 20. I would give the chiefs the upper hand with players the have on the bench. They keep this close and they are a real chance

Yeetyaah

Give Hutchie a 10 year deal

KiwiMurph

Hutchison keeps playing like this he's putting himself in the AB frame I dont care how many games he has played

David Havilli is a massive weakness in this Crusaders team

Tim

Sititi can carry it a bit too upright in close.

Tim

Shocking kick from Havili.

Yeetyaah

He's a bum and the Breakdown crew always hype him up and I have no idea why

Justin Marshall usually giving him the biggest pats on the back

Tim

@Landers92 I would love to see AI replace these clowns in the commentary box.

KiwiMurph

Excellent defensive effort by little LCF

Yeetyaah

Knock on at the ruck anyway

Donsteppa

That's another quick whistle that close to the sideline. This time correctly at least.

Around the ankles sweeping the legs into touch might have been the better option.

some of these "intercept attempts" from the Chiefs are going to get someone in trouble.

Yeetyaah

Havili having a generational game

Tim

That was a really poor kick from Hotham.

Landers92

Terrible kick by Hotham. Has a few too many of those in has game for my liking

Landers92

God this chiefs team when they get their tails up are an impressive watch

Yeetyaah

Knock on from Soni at the ruck wasn't there?
