SF Crusaders v Chiefs
-
@ACT-Crusader Moana Pasifika did us no favours by beating the Brumbies.
I think they're a team we match up well, where the Chiefs almost always give us problems.
Losing Blackadder is big - not quite as crippling as losing Mo'unga, but there with Jordan as next most irreplaceable.

@Chris-B yeah Mo’unga is the most important player for us for a host of reasons - class player, creates so much, the kicking, the drop off to the back up player. He didn’t have the best test season last year but he’s fine tuned a few things this Super campaign that hopefully he can take that next step up.
Blackadder does a lot of little things that don’t show up in the stat sheet but help the team at ruck time and in attack.
The Chiefs play a very good second line attack play with Gatland’s wide passing game. As the old cliche goes, we’ll have to be better than last week

Having to play the Reds twice would lull a team into a false sense of security

@Chris If Jager was selected would he be the most recent foreign AB since Steve Devine? (excluding PI nations)
If you are just talking about foreign born outside of PI then Akira Ioane as he was born in Japan,Or Tyrel Lomax born in Australia

Excluding a huge number of PI's..
Greg Rawlinson is more recent. Moved to NZ as an adult and made the AB's

Barring injuries I expect to see the same Chiefs side as last week except the return of Cane with Jacobsen to 6 and Finau to bench in place of Brown.
I would still prefer Ratima on the bench over Roe and Ioane starting at 15
That surprised me Roe on the bench last week, Ratima is a much bigger threat.

Josh Ioane to nail the winning drop goal in extra time
More likely he will hit the post the Crusaders will get a length of the field try to Jordan to seal a victory.
Ioane is good at fucking up. -
