Chiefs v Crusaders (Round 2)

[Yeetyaah]

Cane at 8 again😑. Stoked that McKenzie is back. Dunno how well the scrum will do against the Crusaders pack. Tupaea needs to work on his defence. Good to see Cruden starting. Should be a cracker.

[Cyclops]

There's a little bit of getting everyone on the field about that pick too I think. A bit of ruthlessness from Razor. Camerons's struggled with starts in the past so is clearly going to be made to earn back the privilege.

Can't wait to watch this game. Gatland has kept Cane at Nr.8, which is quite surprising. I can compare it with McDonald sticking with Ruru and Perofeta. Cane was far from convincing at Nr.8 while Sowakula performed well. Until Jacobson comes back, the best backrow combination could be Boshier - Cane - Sowakula IMO.

[ACT Crusader]

All Black Brett Cameron is a great finisher as was shown last week when he entered the match with the Crusaders cruising with a comfortable lead.

Asked if he liked his role at the defending champions, Cameron said, “Who wouldn’t? im on the field when the final whistle blows eh. Plus I get to shake the hands of the opposition players before Richie. Something that I bring to the team is a strong handshake.”

Cameron will again take on this role with fullback and 2nd 5, David Havilli starting.

[cgrant]

Great sense of humor.

[mofitzy_]

Really hope Havili kills it, I've been calling it for a long time and he's a classy player with a great boot.

So Hamilton ground staff just said fuck it we are going to leave the massive 7s logo on halfway.

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck me you'd think they'd learn to mark the big Fijian dude on the wing.

[Tim]

Shite defence.

[Billy Tell]

A guy who can play 10, midfield, outside backs and kick goals. Havili da man.

[Yeetyaah]

Damo with white line fever

[Yeetyaah]

Punches

[Yeetyaah]

Beautiful set piece for Alaimalo

[kiwiinmelb]

The cruden dmac combination could develop into a good one as the season develops

[Yeetyaah]

Karpik was over that. Shit call.

[Yeetyaah]

How was that not a deliberate knock down? He had no chance of catching it. Should be a penalty.

100% Agree. It's clear cut, too

[Steven Harris]

@Yeetyaah absolutely..it’s a penalty and YC every bloody day of the week..!

[Yeetyaah]

Chiefs' defence has come to play. Surprisingly the Chiefs' scrum isn't being dominated.
