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

@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 ....

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

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?

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

James Lowe again, @Nepia...
Who's ever said that Lowe doesn't make mistakes, the one you were going on about was freakish.
@hydro11 I can't work out that logic, so another wing who got in a freakish incident like that would be absolved because they don't have a good boot. Furthermore, you're clearly not a fan, but even so you're underrating his other abilities, he's got more than a boot and has served the Chiefs pretty well in the past few years.
Anyway, well played by the Crusaders, reminded me of the 1999/2000 team who defended like machines. Chiefs just couldn't quite break them open to get a roll on.
