Chiefs v Crusaders

@Tim rotating in AB level players when subbing or for injuries is pretty sweet.

Geez that was seriously fun. By the powers the Chiefs turned it on when they needed to didn't they.
Gotta say I loving Tupaea's first to games!

Rugby Pass stats not great for Blackadder. 5 missed tackles, 5 carry metres.

Jordan is flaky at fullback. Can only play wing.

He's a world-class Right Wing who can fill in at Fullback, but it makes little sense to pick him a position he clearly doesn't have the skill set for.

Quinn Tupaea is the Player of the Tournament so far and he was the best player of the All Blacks XV's European tour in November.

If he keeps this up, he clearly should be a key part of the All Blacks set up in 2025. A classy player.

Kudos to the Chiefs. That was an excellent performance and they have a whale of a roster this year. A full strength Blues might cause them difficulties up front, but the Chiefs are looking every inch favourites for the title this time around.

[Yeetyaah]

Bench brings the mana 2 weeks in row up the Chiefs fuck the Fraudsaders

[Bones]

@Tim pretty sure 3 or 4 of those metres was one decent pick and go too.

Sevu Reece must have played his last game for the All Blacks. Absolutely terrible

A good night out. I'll watch a replay before reading the whole thread. I'm interested to see how Jacobson got concussed as the TMO was silent.

It might not have been noticeable on TV but the wind was very gusty, particularly in the 2nd half. It made the box kicks a lottery and probably affected the long lineout throws too. I still don't like that the Chiefs don't compete more on the opposition throw.

Myths that need to die
DMac is not a controlled footballer
David Havili is an elite footballer
Blackadder is the best Crusaders loosie

Nice statement win in R2

[SBW1]

Saders get a bye and two home games against the Reds and Force. If we can't win at least one, Penney goes.

For the ABs sake hopefully he's not a flat track bully

Add: Levi Aumua is a super rugby quality player

Oh he was terrible. Just a huge soft lump of nothing

Penney blamed the wind at halftime and inferred they'd be much better with the wine behind them. Glorious.

Has mongrel too.

Would love to see him back in black after what that grub Darcy Swain did to him.

Delighted for him today.
