How good was Tamaiti Williams? Incredible.
Exciting to see what he might be able to do at international level.
I expected us to lose this game, so I'm pleased we kept it close. A couple of better decisions and we might have got there. But, winning is in the Saders' DNA.
I'm interested to see whether that translates to next year, but well done to them.
Their ABS stood up, and you can't fault them having plenty in a starting AB forward pack.

Happy for Razor and well deserved too. With the injuries they had this year it's an unbelievable achievement really.
Deserved how?
Deserved goes to the team who set the standard all year.
Deserved goes to the team who had a ref decisions go against them all night. Chiefs got pinged for stuff the Crusaders kept doing.
Not to mention forward passes leading to a try.
Not sorry at all but that was a totally undeserved result.
Geeze mate have a lie down and come back with some class.
How about taking a big leap into reality and accepting that the win was gifted to you... sad but true!
Not to me. I am a Highlanders fan, but lean to the Chiefs as I live here now.
Have some dignity.

Well, fuck.
As much as I'd like to complain, I can't.
Close game. One team had to win.
ALB should have got red ... so ... meh ...
Congrats Saders.

Really enjoyed that. Feel like SR had been lacking in intensity of the regular season and we had to wait for the semis and final to bring it. Chiefs were so good all season right mix of resilient defence and superb attack. Surprisingly the discipline which had been so good deserted them tonight. Our time will come.
Saders are such a remarkable finals team. Well played Razor & co congrats , I look forward to the next chapter in Black.

So as I say Big Sam W get's it
Couple of big steals at LO time by Sammy, but overall I thought Barrett was huge and they could’ve given it to him.

And by the way, I don't think it was a red card, I sick of people trying to get red cards, I look at why they shouldn't be.
Every contact sport has big problems with concussion. Repeated concussions has severe impacts on players. It has to be taken seriously. That means the tackler has to bend at the hips and drive shoulder at lower lower chest and below. Without these rules the game leaves itself open to big claims and loss of public support.

Think Barrett spoke very well and I feel his performance tonight will probably have him staring in the black #6 in a few weeks With BR and SW in the engine room.

Trying to be balanced here. By any fair minded measure if Saders awarded the last try in first half the Narawa try from lineout ought to have stood.
Does anyone here seriously want to argue that the Saders would have come back from 15-27 down?
The jesters are welcome to wear their phony crowns, but I celebrate the Chiefs as the best Super Pacific team of 2023.

@Mattasaurus they all played well. BBBR got a bit lippy with Ref though.
