Chiefs v Crusaders

Crucial

And yet the Crusaders have more ABs in their starting XV than the Chiefs.

And more AB coaches in the box

You know that this has got the makings of a good one. Even fans like me who is a dyed in the wool Cane's man keeps thinking this game is the match of weekend, and yet Canes have a game equally as important against Brumbies. I personally love it looking forward to it all.

Really looking forward to this one. I think it will be Saders 1 -12. But don't really care, just want a high quality game of code to enjoy!

Takes me back about 20 years, looks awesome.

Crusaders changes on the bench according to commentators:

17 Kershawl Sykes-Martin instead of Finlay Brewis
21 Willi Heinz also out. No reserve halfback, with Fihaki coming onto the bench.

Donsteppa

Not the best tackling from the Chiefs...

Crusaders dominating lineout early

Another try from a forward being lazy getting out of the way at ruck time. Too many NZ players doing this.

Jailbreak7

What a start! Good D from both . Geez Saders have missed big LF

Tim

Who missed the tackle on LF?

Toddy

@Tim Dmac?

Mattasaurus

Saders being very direct ... which I would like to see more of from all the NZ teams

Toddy

Great turnover by Cane

Donsteppa

Crusaders determined to go up the guts. Cane with a well timed turnover.

Mattasaurus

22 phases without a bloody cross kick... LOVE IT!!!

Toddy

Really good defence by the Chiefs there. Seemed to be two - three Chiefs for each Crusader ball carrier.

Is Noah Hotham injured?
