Put that try down to Goodhue

And Harris stubbornly setting up camp far too wide of a goal-line ruck.

Fuck we suuuuck

50 points at least here

Crusaders backs running around Chiefs forwards. Lots of mismatches.

@mariner4life Got to be the worst flankers for an NZ super team in a long time. Making fuck-all dominant tackles.

Systems: Crusaders have them. Chiefs do not.

Probably need the Crusaders C side to make a game of this.

Yep, a Cane and a Messam make a huge difference to a team's defence.

Systems require difficult things like catching. Perhaps even passing or tackling.

I am liking Enari's pass.

Can someone enlighten me why the Chiefs picked their ABs for this game? I get that you don't want four losses in a row but surely this is a game you just give up on after last week? Hurricanes (H), Bulls (A) and Jaguares (A) are all winnable. Then you have the bye and Blues and Lions at home. You could easily win 4 of those 5 with your top team playing.

The younger good one I assume?

[Tim]

@Nepia Yep.

[Machpants]

Glad to see that the chiefs are looking for world Peace with the most Passive defence ever.

Also Scott Barrett had been in the side half a dozen times

[chimoaus]

So how much credit goes to Razor and O'Gara? Interested to hear what O'Gara is like as a coach.

[Crazy Horse]

I will be reaching for a tissue soon

[No Quarter]

First time I've really seen Jordan play. Oozes class. Could well be a bolter for the RWC.

[Toddy]

@Nepia is Messam in the squad?

[sparky]

This could be a cricket score by the end. The Crusaders look set to score more than the West Indies did yesterday.

I’ll sound more flippant than I intend; but losing this by 100+ would have derailed the season beyond repair. They aren’t doing it as they speak, but I think the coaches had to give the team the best chance of putting in a performance to hold their heads higher.

Which mans little when Aliamalo makes a break and passes it to the tea lady.
