Cripes, this is not finals fan behaviour at all! I'll get the ball rolling.
All depends on whether the ref lets the cheating Chiefs put numerous hands on the ball in the ruck and slow it down or pinch it. It seems the "ref can't penalize all of us if we do it all together" tactic. Spoiling the game we love.

[Crucial]

Codie Taylor goes looking to commit a foul once the opposition threatens and the defence gets out of shape. Call it clever play if you like but accusing others of spoiling the game is firkin hilarious.

@crucial Just the Chiefs.
The spoiling tactics of the Chiefs all game and then manipulating the ref for a "fortuitous" penalty at the death is going to backfire soon enough, hopefully in this game

You'll be cheering for Codie's game in black.

Ah but when an AB Codie's temperament is stabilized by the calming, noble, Chiefs in Black... All 1 or 2 of them

I'd be hoping he doesn't have to resort to that bullshit in the ABs.

If you're not "cheating" you're not trying

There’s a difference between pushing the line to test the ref and blatantly infringing way past the line to halt the game though.

I suspect both Crusaders and Chiefs fans are very relaxed about today’s final. Chiefs fans should have zero expectations and Crusaders fans would think they will be quite comfortable for them?

I hope it’s a tight game and we put up a decent challenge.

I reckon that's a good summation. I also reckon the rest of us would feel the same were it our team in the chief's place. Except the blues of course who can't not talk themselves up😉

Good luck chief's, we're all tuning in for that rare opportunity to see a meltdown upset - probably like the Argentinean fans last year...😒

Which is completely dependent on whether the player or team in question is the one you support or not.

That would have to be the worst rendition of the national anthem I've ever heard.

Havili Talitui out, Sanders in

That’s an improvement

George Bridge on the crash - haha

I was pissed when I saw that - I reckon Sanders is a good modern 7.

DMac needs to be a nine

[gt12]

Gatland with his usual start

Edit: fucking Nankivell it was

[Machpants]

Close, did he drop it?

[Machpants]

Man that was a great pass by mo'unga, excellent

Try Reece

[taniwharugby]

Some great sweeping movements by the Crusaders already.

[gt12]

The Saders are just far too good - the way they get in the red zone and almost always get points is really something.

Midget vs Midget and the clutch lost
