Crusaders v Chiefs
-
There was a Stuff article about that yesterday.
The other stat:
Friday night’s opening-round contest against the Crusaders in Christchurch will be the first time in 62 Chiefs games, and just the second in the last 71, that McKenzie and fellow All Blacks Brodie Retallick and Sam Cane – three of the club’s five-most-capped current players – will have played alongside one another.

Those Chiefs jerseys seem to be a little more red and black than I remember them being.

@Crucial that’s fucking crazy to think about. Crusaders would do well to keep us under 50

For the ABs they last played together in the 2021 loss to France (for 9 minutes)
August 2018 v Oz in Sydney they were all on the field together for minutes 43-70 (DMac on wing)
The last time they started together in black was 17 Sept 2017! That was the drubbing of SA at NH Stadium.
Quite amazing how little time they have had on field together and not something I would have guessed.

Every sniff of the air just smells like a chiefs victory today

Why did you say that? Now the Crusaders will definitely win.
In all seriousness though, Chiefs are in with a good shout, just have to take their opportunities when they pop up.

I reckon if they score more points, they have a good chance of winning.

So many excellent match ups across the park tonight. Hope i fall back in love with super rugby this year.

Fuck there is nothing that annoys me more in rugby then when a team kick to the corner then does a shithouse line out to contest
-
Has Newell not been doing fitness work? Six minutes in and he's already calling for a rest.
-
Why are they stopping the game for a prop when it's a lineout. Get out of the way and carry on.

good hit from Cane
