Chiefs v Crusaders

Time for a givealittle funding campaign for a one way charter flight to send Gatland back to Cardiff.

@kiwiinmelb what makes him a certain selection in each team? Because he’s not standing out in any of his games this year, in fact he’s probably been outplayed in most of his battles this year.

It was tongue in cheek buddy, they overlooked him in our last important game

Bones

Nice one saders, dominated while looking far off their best.

Chiefs...I guess the better you get, the luckier you get.

Great to see the Crusaders bench standing for Cruden

Cruden's been a great servant of NZ Rugby. He was outstanding as a 22 year old in 2011 RWC as a replacement until he got injured.

@Bones when have I steered you wrong?

In this thread!

@No-Quarter yeah I posted up the law. Refs ruling it like forward pass when it's different.

Sorry I missed that. Yup amateur hour.

Crusaders too good in the end, but that kind of decision is similar to what drives people crazy when it happens to their team against the ABs. You just can't afford really basic mistakes like that going against you if you want to have a chance, especially when it directly leads to a try.

@No-Quarter my apologies if true! I thought it was fine.

Also brings into question the supposed intentional knock on by Stevenson. His hand was facing backwards...

5-1 in tries to Crusaders in the end. Worthy winners.

I'll wait until you've done your daily eleventy hundred pushups.

Tim

A deserved yellow card for persistent efforts at avoiding tackling.

Mo'unga and Jordan were excellent for the Crusaders. Whitelock and Christie were the pick of their Forwards.

Boshier was the best player for the Chiefs.

This interview with Sam Whitelock is terrible. I can hear Cruden talking to the crowd in the background

He's way better than Wainui though eh.

Tim

@Bones He's really suffering under the bad coaching at the Chiefs.

No downwards fair call Yc

Sam Cane, super busy, as ever. 19 tackles.

Not at his most confident or effective at the breakdown. I am backing him to turn things around later in the year. Still IMHO the first or second name on the AB team sheet.

Taylor, Bower and Bridge had big games tonight as well

ACT Crusader

Boshier is a quality player. Would like to see him get a chance in the Nth / Sth game.

So much strength in the Nth backrow. Some quality players will miss out.
