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

That’s another one on Sevu. Useless.

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

Sevu Reece is the gift that keeps on giving

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.

Found out under pressure.

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

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

Go the clock!

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

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.

And we have lost Fehi as a result.

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

Out of position Parker (plodder) out playing CLW.

Temu Eric Rush

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

Overrated journeyman.

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

Ahio good in contact tonight.

@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

You ok hun? You're only supposed to post if the saders win, bit early yet

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.

I still don't quite trust this...

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

Or realise that it's not a bye week.

Spot on. He's solid, but in intense physical rugby he's just another club player. Not even close to international quality.

We found one! Sorry in advance. Join us in looking forward to 2027

@mariner4life well then the other two games against the chiefs and hurricanes where CLW out played his opposites makes them journeymen too? The one game Jacobson and Parker turn up in because their backs are so much better and they have two dynamic locks that arent slower than props somehow makes that point?

Turns out carving up the Hurricanes reserves team doesn't make Reece a world beater. Who would have thought?

Yes

Seems a bit tough to putting so much focus on Leicester when he's been one part of a team that has been destroyed in the backs, which has in turn caused the entire team to play like headless chickens.

I fully expect him to be in Rennie's squad & have his work-ons pointed out to him.

Oh, and it's only half time. Still plenty of time for the Chiefs to shit the bed.

@jimmyb No one rates Parker and he's shut down CLW tonight. The canes were clearly focused on the playoffs.
