Chiefs v Crusaders (Round 2)

[nzzp]

Aside from two horrible missed tackles on Reece, the Crusaders have struggled to score points here.

That penalty could be the game.

Edit: for the second time, that penalty coudl be the game

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean was pulled back enough that the player he pulled from in front ended behind him, I agree on that one, cynical AF

[Victor Meldrew]

I really, really like DMac's attitude in wanting to mix it with the big boys despite his lack of stature.

But it's a bit fool-hardy to come charging into a mass brawl and try to pick a fight with a loose forward.....

[Billy Tell]

Chiefs defence has been great.

[nzzp]

@Billy-Tell Gats doing well with them, picked up from Rennie

[Nepia]

Great win for the Chiefs over the Blues.

Goodhue has been rather average tonight.

Playing out of position

[kiwiinmelb]

Entertaining game

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck yes. 2 in a row. Go home Poosaders.

Chiefs have thoroughly deserved the win. Crusaders have lacked direction and leadership when the going got tough. I think on another night they probably finish it off before half time. Tonight they didn't do they and they reacted very poorly in the second.

[Tim]

Dumb shit Havili rushed it.

[KiwiMurph]

That was a great game.

hahahahahahaha

Chiefs playing with a bit of spirit ,

The Gatland thing seems to be working well thus far

[Tim]

Will Jordan didn't have any impact, quite unexpected.

Rushed it, and was too slow anyway.

Pretty handy coach apparently.

[Tim]

Bridge didn't have any impact, which was expected.

The pack isn't what it was. You go through it - compared to previous years where it was absolutely ridiculously stacked with ABs and quality players. Just not there now. Long way back for them I fear (hope?)

Edit: the Crusaders pack, that is

[Nepia]

I think the Chiefs training this week should consist of everyone going for the corner and Alaimalo having to tackle them all.
