Wow.

Everything turning to gold.

Donsteppa

Like Panzers through the Ardennes.

Despite the score desparity it is really appealing game to watch. Plenty of action, lots of lateral movement. Enjoyable as a neautral

How neutral are we though…😂😂

The worst 30mins of finals footy from the Saders in years ... possibly ever.... woeful defense..... everything the Chiefs do is turning to gold

KiwiMurph

Chip kicks are gold when you know when to do them and have the skill to execute them

Landers92

That’s another one on Sevu. Useless.

Bones

The faces on those crusaders running back to halfway...oh boy...

mariner4life

Sevu Reece is the gift that keeps on giving

MajorStokes

I can't remember such a flawless half by the backs since the Bunce/Cullen days.

BEautiful.

Leicester just failed his end of year exam

Poosaders. 😉

Chiefs are on fire.

Only Robertson and his cronies were dumb enough to pick him for test rugby. Pathetic.

Canes4life

The Crusaders got too cocky after belting a Canes B team and then the Blues.

Crusaders forwards with the exception of CLW are juts way too slow and ponderous

Tim

Cannot understand people wanting guys like Lio-Willie in the ABs. Too small and unathletic for test rugby.

Canes4life

lol I don’t think I’ve ever yelled for the Chiefs this much.

We have a problem with this guy.

A very good allround rugby player.

But..

Too slow to be a winger.
Can't pass well enough as a centre.
Not a true loosie.

I'll pass.

the amount of times Jacobson gets away with slowing the ball down in illegal positions is quite impressive... just not sure that he would get away with it at international level

Tim

Out of position Parker (plodder) out playing CLW.

mariner4life

Crusaders route 1 footy was effective but they started too far out

Overrated journeyman.

Canerbry

This is the most excited I've ever seen thesilverfern.

Tim

Ahio good in contact tonight.

jimmyb

@Tim that’s a fairly silly comment. He’s consistently played well this season (and last season) and has out performed his opposites in kiwi derbies this season. Hes part of a team that’s getting slaughtered.

Taylor looks like he just woke up from a bender

the only value I see in him at International level is as the swiss army knife on the bench ..... certainly not good enough in any one position but there may be value in the fact that he can play each positional reasonably well

Defence coach for the Crusaders may want to brush off the CV

Doesn't change hos point. Hes not fast enough or big enough. Just another journeyman.

Crusaders loose forwards got fucking smoked that half. Jacobson killing them at the breakdown.

antipodean

Leicester didn't make much of an impression during his short stint cosplaying as a loose forward.
