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.

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

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!!!

Isaac Hutchinson sponsored by K-Tape.

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!

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

Is there a Crusader fan in here? Lol

Round the head sir!

Big scrum. Is Newell fit?

Is Ahio heading to the Blues next season?

Aaaaand there it is. Opening partnership broken

Norris ate him up in that earlier scrum

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

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

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

Oh Damien, fuck yes

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...

Marshall talking about Fihaki saving the day when he was the one and shot out to fuck it up in the first place…… couldn’t make it up lol

See what I mean about Taumoefolau having a higher ceiling than Moorby?

DMac has such a good passing game

Not a bad replacement

Carter looking like a 13....

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

I don't think there will be a Havili Ennor AB midfield this year

Great set up, had that defence exactly where they wanted them

Quite like the idea of Dmac ripping it up for the last 20 off the bench

35 - 5. Still feels like teasing...

Holy shit the crusaders defensive line is so fractured. Falling to pieces

Where's Leicester

Limping around

Nice line. Enjoying this Chiefs carry-clean connection.

Wearing his invisibility cloak - not the good McCaw type either

Holy shit!

What a try

Wow.

Everything turning to gold.

Crusaders flankers are getting a bath

Like Panzers through the Ardennes.
