Chiefs playing with a bit of spirit ,
The Gatland thing seems to be working well thus far
Pretty handy coach apparently.

Chiefs have thoroughly deserved the win. Crusaders have lacked direction and leadership when the going got tough. I think on another night they probably finish it off before half time. Tonight they didn't do they and they reacted very poorly in the second.
The pack isn't what it was. You go through it - compared to previous years where it was absolutely ridiculously stacked with ABs and quality players. Just not there now. Long way back for them I fear (hope?)
Edit: the Crusaders pack, that is

Great win for the Chiefs over the Blues.
Hah that was exactly what I thought when I first switched on.
These "away" shirts are utter garbage eh. Who's gonna buy one when you don't even know which team it is?

I dunno the Crusaders 'unique' logo is hard to miss...

I don't care about them in isolation, but having all the teams look like the Blues and Tahs when away is idiotic.

@nzzp Sanders is terrible. Try watching him for 5 minutes, zero work rate, walks a lot. Douglas, Jager, Dunshea all useless as well
Sanders was average for the Chiefs, not sure why people suddenly expect him to come right at the Crusaders.

Listening to TJ and Marshall chewing wasps when the result was becoming a reality was delicious
Boshier was half decent. If we had a lineout we win by a thousand.
Nice to be reminded rugby is a pretty good game.

Ummm... yeah true not many players go to the crusaders and improve.

Bridge didn't have any impact, which was expected.
I love how Blues supporters can't wait to say this; still salty that Rieko didn't get the game time/starts during the RWC?
It was his first game back and he was close to scoring twice.

Well-deserved win for the Chiefs. Cruds and Weber were the difference in the backs, and particularly Boshier in the forwards. Boshier was great last week, too.
Havili had a great first half, but under pressure in the second half, you could see he's not a specialist 10. Then having to combine it with the captaincy was helping either. Still think he's a better option at 10 than Cameron.
Crusaders loosies not impressing. Chiefs bossing them.
