Chiefs v Crusaders

[antipodean]

I thought Gardner handled that well.

[chimoaus]

Fuck this lineout is hurting the Chiefs.

[antipodean]

Another Beauden shit cross kick!

[mariner4life]

Lol David Havili has the physicality of wet tissue paper, even when he flies in to a ruck from the side.

Crusaders are playing too much rugby in their own half and Mo'unga has been a big part of that problem. Drummond has been just as bad.

Richie missing penalties and cross kicking rubbish.

[chimoaus]

When it comes to test match footy your set piece wins you games. And your 10 not making stupid calls.

[Jailbreak7]

Neither 10 has stamped authority on this match so far.

[mariner4life]

The 3 premier 10s in NZ are all the same, and all substandard

[antipodean]

DMac needs to not come out of the tunnel after half time.

How on earth are the Crusaders not in front?

Good tackling and a fair amount of Chiefs luck

[chimoaus]

What a bizarre scoreline, is it the Crusaders flacid attack or the Chiefs rock hard defence?

On replay it went forward from his hands, slightly. Not enough to overrule the initial play on call and for mine, certainly not egregious enough to rule out the try already awarded.

I don't get it. It went forward but it should be ignored because great try?

I don't think it was "clear and obvious".

Oh right, even when you can see where he touched it and where it landed?

Beaten up at the scrum, and at the breakdown, plus poor kicking. Chiefs haven't been much better in some aspects.

[Dan54]

I am enjoying this, it's a pretty good game. Nothing in it.

[Tim]

DMac's kicking was good after the first 25 minutes.

[Bones]

That's fucken stupid from Angus though. Don't fucking rush the kicker, don't say hurry up. He's entitled to use the time, just tell him how long left.

[Old Samurai Jack]

The Mooloo gods are at the game tonight. Feral crowd, AC/DC music as well... it is all class in the Tron tonight!

[Mattasaurus]

Biggest concern so far is (from an ABs perspective) is the 10s not taking control of the game...

Chiefs pretty lucky to be ahead in my opinion.. imagine there are a few Saders fans grumpy with a couple of the "50/50" calls

Scott Barrett, Emoni Narawa and LF the pick of teh first 40mins for me.

That's abloody good defence the Chiefs have got. Jacobson is doing some bloody good work, as is Cane. but can they keep it up for another 40?
