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

Finau's lineout technique is elite

Tim

Nice clearance from Ratima.

mariner4life

Oh that pass from Dmac is sex!

Landers92

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

Donsteppa

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

Bones

Well fuck, there goes the excitement

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

Mr Fish

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...

Landers92

The chiefs are on fire and crusaders rattled. Crazy

Isaac Hutchinson sponsored by K-Tape.

Kemara has some wheels.

Stockcar86

Hutchinson the new Ben Smith

Donsteppa

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

Donsteppa

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!!!

Bones

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

Donsteppa

28 - 0 after 25 minutes. It's the hope that kills ya?

Is there a Crusader fan in here? Lol

mariner4life

Round the head sir!

Tim

Big scrum. Is Newell fit?

Is Ahio heading to the Blues next season?

Donsteppa

Aaaaand there it is. Opening partnership broken

Norris ate him up in that earlier scrum

Donsteppa

Lovely kick off reception by the Crusaders for the Chiefs...

There has been some average defense , mostly from the Saders.....

Bones

Oh Damien, fuck yes

SouthernMann

Hopefully they can both have a decent injury free run next year.

We should see them line up against eachother in a shield challenge early in the NPC too...
