Fuck me, Preston has been on for 10 minutes and already played his way out of a black jersey

Crusaders lock should have been penalised for playing Carter.

Looks like the crusaders have borrowed the Highlanders kicking strategy

Gardner mad wheels!

Preston is built like a vets halfback

The look of a bloke who smashes a box of cody's the Friday night. Works a perky from 7 AM Saturday morning and then off to footy at 2 PM.

Chiefs showing the benefits of making the breakdown a mess.

Crusaders loose forwards have been utterly ineffective.

mariner4life

Can't do that mate

Landers92

Down 42-5 and you keep kicking the ball back to a team on fire… bold strategy

Qt has been good all year but I really feel a lot of people are under rating just how good and influential Jordie has been for the Canes this year. That said I feel only an injury will keep QT out of the squad.. they are clearly the two best 12s for me

Is there going to be one close game this playoffs?

Both have been very good. Havili is clearly not in their league.

Not sure what the Chiefs are doing here.

We're not exactly just trying to control the game and play smart. You have enough points. Play field position and back your defense

mariner4life

You should be allowed to punch halfbacks

Bones

The fuck is Blackadder even doing

Canes4life

With all the outside talent we have in NZ, I’ll be annoyed if Fihaki is one of the guys picked.

mariner4life

Carter was shocking there

Landers92

Is there anyone who sucks off Havili more than Justin Marshall

antipodean

LoL. According to TJ Havili has been in excellent form the mast few weeks.

Also these second half Chiefs are a bit shit.

Donsteppa

And now the shit for brains plays begin.

KiwiMurph

Moronic from LCF

mariner4life

Lol this is a shocker of a second half.

WTF are the chiefs thinking... this is just so dumb.... where is the leadership

antipodean

Two kicks charged down by DMac. Love better stay healthy.

Bones

Only eyes for the ball

Shut the fuck up Justin that's the worst excuse

canefan

Saders should concentrate on the basics instead of picking fights

mariner4life

I'm now annoyed by this. Low quality no leadership bullshit.

There are no brains left in NZ rugby

Mr Fish

Not that it matters but totally stupid to force Ratima to play the ball from that scrum given how much it was moving. Either a reset or a penalty to the Chiefs surely.

Sheesh Carter scrambles well
