Scores reflect home & away :)<br><br>
Now, 21- 22

[Unco]

<p>Play finally starts back up after Prinsep was knocked out cold. Fukofuka comes on as a loosie cause the Saders have already used all their forward replacements.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: No wait, there's still Alaalatoa on the bench but they're not putting a prop on the blind/openside.</p>

[Tim]

Why the fuck didn't the ref play advantage?

<p>Yep, what the fuck was that?</p>

[gt12]

Think he would have had to penalize ALB

[No Quarter]

I think because the Chiefs player was off his feet?

[gt12]

Good work by Cruden to slow things down.<br><br>
Bardoul on...

[No Quarter]

I really like the look of Ngatai. Pace, power and skill. Would look good in the AB midfield.

[Unco]

<p>Cane in!</p>

[Tim]

Think a few Chiefs reserves will start next week.

I like him more at 13, but he's been good.<br><br>
Chiefs trying for 7 to close it out, and score. Conversion would put it out of reach..

[gt12]

21-27.<br><br>
1 minute left..

[Unco]

<p>Good guys win!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>27-21</p>

[gt12]

Well, I'm impressed we got there.

[Unco]

<p>Fuckin hell, what a first round of rugby. Usually the teams are bumbling around, dropping the ball left and right at this stage of the tournament but this year between the Blues/Landers and Chiefs/Saders, we got two awesome games out of it.</p>

[No Quarter]

...and the Canes fucking sucked. Gutted.

<p>Was brilliant I thought. The ABs 12 spot certainly is wide open.</p>

[Billy Tell]

Really really don't like Fonatia. Just stifles the Crusaders back line. Drop him and get Havili into the midfield.

[tubbyj]

<p>I guess he is on a multi year contract that meant they could not keep Rob Thompson which is unfortunate as it looks like he will just be warming the bench at the Hughlanders.</p>

[Mokey]

<p>FUCK YES CHIEFS.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>McKenzie was excellent. I think I heard Sam Cane's name mentioned about twice, lol.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Justin Marshall is a fucking tool and should be banned from commentating Crusaders games. The manlove for Ellis was getting embarrassing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope the Crusader who got knocked out is ok. That was a nasty back of head/cheekbone smash, and his head bounced on the ground too.</p>
