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.

Canes4life

Sheesh Carter scrambles well

Donsteppa

7 - 0 in this half...

12 minutes to go....

Canes have shown signs of brains. The only nz team that does.

Landers92

Finau got his easy shot on a 10 lol

mariner4life

Are we going to have any backs left for the final?

Bones

I think the thing with CLW is he's only ever going to look industrious at best in a beaten team. Will toil his arse off but never lead the charge.

Victor Meldrew

Can't make up my mind if this is a Chiefs defensive masterclass or the Crusader's attack has been shit.

Landers92

Maybe 16 on the field the whole game could have made this more interesting

mariner4life

Should be a penalty Gards. Dude in front of the guy who dropped it kicked it back.

Bones

How average has Jacomb looked this season

mariner4life

How does jacomb have a professional rugby contract?

the second 40 has been bloody awful to watch

Tim

Fuck me the Crusaders attack has been bad, even against 14. Extremely scrappy 30 mins of rugby.

jimmyb

This second 40 has been fairly dire from both teams

Bones

Way to get dropped from the ABs Damien

SouthernMann

Weird switch from 40 minutes of elite footy to a bit of a battle and a tough watch.

Mr Fish

Go for the pushover. Ultimate insult against the Crusaders.

Landers92

Is Codie Taylor playing in the loosies? Poor bugger has had a big season

Bones

Eh? Where's the yellow card? Doesn't matter what it's for

Tim

That's a lot of penalties. Should be a card.

Bones

The attack died with Jacomb again

antipodean

Roe is a midget balding Christie.

Tim

Was that a high shot on DMac?

Bones

Should still be a yellow, that was multiple again

KiwiMurph

Gibbes > McMillan

Tim

A few Chiefs forwards secured AB selections?

It Was lackluster since the second half kicked off and before he came on if we are being fair

jimmyb

@KiwiMurph McMillian had to play against a competent Crusaders team

Donsteppa

So we get to live through another final....

mariner4life

Nice win.

I look forward to losing our 4th straight final.

The Buffalo Chiefs

Tim

Fourth consecutive final. Hope Tupaea is available.

Lord has really staked a claim this year, as well as Sami. If Jacobson had been playing like today all season he'd be AB captain.

Tim

@mariner4life At least Kyle Brown will be back from concussion break?
