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...

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...

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!!!

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!

Bit more of an Israel Dagg in my mind but works either way.

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...

Despite the score desparity it is really appealing game to watch. Plenty of action, lots of lateral movement. Enjoyable as a neautral
