Genuine question ... is the scrum half allowed to be off their feet and play the ball out the back of a breakdown?

Saders scrumming clearly on his knees trying to fish the ball out. Is that not plain the ball off your feet?

That's a good question... there seems to be a lot of questionable rules around getting the ball out of the scrum under the whole "continuity of play" excuse

Why was Parker standing still to take that? Come on man

Phins up!

On management - should the chiefs ask about repeated red zone offences for the next they are down?

Needed this start

Taumoefolau creating headaches again

That's pretty choice rugby

Chris B. How good is Taumoefolau Blenheims best

Boom! What a passage of play & try. Beautiful to watch.

Great from Hutchinson.

Nice vision from Dmac

Hutchinson, what a proper fullback. Yes fucken please

Great try. Great to see Reece get smoked. Should not have played for NZ after 2022.

Finau's lineout technique is elite

Yeah if Dave isn't a moron, there's some real excitement building in the outside backs

God damn it.

Oh that pass from Dmac is sex!

First try was on Sevu. Awful kick and on a platter for the chiefs followed by a missed tackle which helped set up the try. They’ve had all the momentum since

After the last few years of Finals footy for the Chiefs, this almost feels like a trap...

Well fuck, there goes the excitement

Here's hoping he continues to get the most touches for them, he's fucking up royally

Can't forget that the Chiefs were on fire against the Crusaders earlier in the season and still lost by a big margin...

That said, that was almost an evil bounce of the ball from being 26 - 0 there. Hmm...

The chiefs are on fire and crusaders rattled. Crazy

Beautiful.

Demolished.

Not often I'll lay claim to being an early adopter but think I may have been the first to suggest this after the debuted. Day one believer.

Kemara has some wheels.

Hutchinson the new Ben Smith

Hopefully Carter's hammy is up to along stint if needed...

Beautiful.

Great opening partnership v the Saders pop gun attack.

Chiefs are looking to end this quick. It will be tough for the Crusaders to come back in the 2nd half if Chiefs keep adding points.

There isn't a chiefs fan on here who isn't expecting

1. Chiefs dominate first 30
2. Saders get the last score, if not two scores just before half time
3. Chiefs get rattled, lose their heads and Saders build back in.
4. Saders take the lead with 10 to go and don't look back.

Seen it, felt it, expect it!

But fark me, what a dominant start!!!

The kid is what Hurley is meant to be lol

Reckon the crusaders have been going at 110% and it's finally hit them, running out of steam

Thats a cracking comparison, and also, the ultimate compliment.

Don't disagree!
