Crusaders weathered the storm, and now the Chiefs are fading.

Saders just too good. Chiefs not coming back from here.

[Kruse]

That was a little more than 5 seconds after the "Use it!" call.
But by jeebers, this is a professional, ruthless looking Crusaders side.

@Kruse yeah was thinking that was alot of latitude on the use it there

@KiwiMurph @Donsteppa Settle down you two - that was a freakish play, likely the same result with any kicker.

It happened because Lowe mucked around to pivot on his left because he doesn't back his right foot. At test level, players are analysed so much. I don't think you can get away with being a kicker who only kicks off one foot in international rugby. Mo'unga knew this and targeted his left foot. Good reward for reviewing the tape during the week.

We have wings who can barely kick off either feet ....

[Tim]

I hope that we don't have to play ALB at centre in the RC.

[taniwharugby]

fuck the crusaders are making some tackles.

Goodhue off, is he injured? Hes been making a bucketload of tackles

[taniwharugby]

@Tim I'm hoping it aint Goodhue...purely as I wanna see him up here

[Toddy]

Sheparding not exist anymore?

[Donsteppa]

James Lowe again, @Nepia...

True but those players aren't picked for their boot. Lowe's biggest attribute is his big boot but we already have Dagg.

Yeah, wondering that myself - I guess it can't be obstruction if a big fattie forward has no chance of catching that quick-as-fuck little dMac anyway.

Its down to the Canes now to give this competition the final it deserves.

Fuck off Lions and your shitty piggy backed ride to a potential home final!

Will it be played at the Cake Tin so a crowd will bother to turn up?

[Donsteppa]

Ah well, the final score was a fair reflection of the gap between the teams.

[pakman]

Imagine some Chch denizens stayed at home and watched on box rather than attend and afterwards having to look in phone book for welders?!

The issue is the final series is a farce = low crowd turnout. No matter how well they manage it the travel was always going to be a killer for the chiefs. Yet the super rugby administrators are so inept the they are unable to find a solution. hopefully Sky put their foot down again as they did with the silly 18 team structure. so cut the teams down to 15 (good move) and make sure in the finals teams are not buggered up by so much travel
