Crusaders v Chiefs (SF)

[Crucial]

The team lists make an interesting contrast.

The Crusaders are stacked with Test players in the forwards but are nowhere near that quality in the backs while the Chiefs have international players almost right through but the experience at that level is lower.

Crusaders - 10 (+1 reserve) Internationals/474 (+26) Tests played
Chiefs - (13 (+2) Internationals/ 270 (+25) Tests played

Ummm well in saying he fires up, all he actually does is acknowledge and agree with question.

I'm just a dumbass that clciked on the article wondering what he was 'firing up' about

[Bovidae]

Knowler being from Chch, of course.

[No Quarter]

You know Rennie is serious when he is "bloody angry".

[KiwiMurph]

That is a piss poor crowd. Empty seats everywhere.

@KiwiMurph just came to note the same...

Shithouse turnout, Cantabs.

[chimoaus]

Are the tickets double price or something?

[chimoaus]

That take by Mckenzie deserves a replay, that was beautiful. However his ball control needs work lol.

[Tim]

Goddamn it Marshall, shut up!

[taniwharugby]

I thought the Adidas deal was boots an djersies through Super rugby?

BBBR has come to play. Jesus Cruden dropped it cold. Nice sequence by Chiefs but Crusaders D very good.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Crusaders defence superb. Lot of errors from Dmac. Crusaders by 15 plus

[chimoaus]

firsty penalty of the game I think, lots of rugby so far. Easy 3 for the crusaders.

[taniwharugby]

close to a PT for mine

[Hooroo]

Where the fuck is everyone? I know this is a sure thing for Canterbury but you would think someone would turn up!

Chiefs will be happy with only 3 I reckon. Chiefs struggling to get over advantage line whereas crusaders make easy metres.

[chimoaus]

Shit this could get embarrassing for the Chiefs, Crusaders in.

[Donsteppa]

When the going gets tough... DMac misses a tackle...
