Crusaders v Chiefs (SF)

[hydro11]

Crotty is having a storming game. Chiefs on top right now.

[taniwharugby]

another forward pass missed there, but Crusaders get a penalty.

[chimoaus]

I often wonder why some teams are just so good on D, is it communication, individual players, defensive plays etc etc.

@Winger North Harbour.

[taniwharugby]

hmm, DMac being a bit silly there

[chimoaus]

Props to the Chiefs for staying in this. gow did they not score there?

[Gunner]

My oh my, I have enjoyed that.

Should have scored there Chiefs.

[KiwiMurph]

Crusaders defence is sensational.

[Winger]

Where was the knock on?

[taniwharugby]

@Winger when he fumbled the ball.

ya got that.

Chiefs have done enough to tear apart and demoralise most teams in world rugby. A bit of bad luck with the ref, and they're still behind - remarkable game of rugby so far. Will be interesting to see if the tackles catch up with the saders late in the game

[hydro11]

Fantastic defence from the Crusaders. I think the Chiefs will definitely win if they get those opportunities in the second half. The game has been high quality. Crusaders have probably kicked too much and the Chiefs look more dangerous with ball in hand.

Cruden has been very good, too.

Thanks. For me it was very clearly a try. I can understand refs getting it wrong but video refs there is no excuse

[Winger]

@taniwharugby

didn't it go backwards. Ill have to watch again

[taniwharugby]

@Winger didnt think it went anywhere, just a little fumble

[taniwharugby]

Chiefs looking good, but a couple of patches they did look a little fatigued, despite having the ball, may have been wrong given they have looked good otherwise.

Crusaders need to get the ball

Love the Chiefs' ambition, but boy do they throw a lot of 40:60 passes!
TKB getting distance on his passes, but half the time Crudes has to reach over his head to collect, and tempo slowed.

[Winger]

@taniwharugby
watched it again. It clearly went backwards. also watched the Chiefs try again. chiefs fans could be feeling rightly pissed off

[Canerbry]

Try not given was justice for two forward passes missed by Waikato's Glen Jackson in the movement.

Crusaders been very patient, Chiefs spent a lot of time slowly going backwards, will run out off puff with trip across the Indian Ocean and wet track.
