Crusaders v Chiefs

booboo

Messed up game. But really enjoying

booboo

58 mins. How do Chiefs not score?

booboo

Gut feel at 25 mins ... as Dmac misses again ... is Chiefs better overall but not threatening to score.

Saders will soak this shit up and win comfortably. Given they're 10-nil up and done nothing ...

Nostrobooboo ... Chiefs up by 9 ... err 11 ...

Jeez, if the Chiefs can roll the champs like that, just imagine what the Canes will do to them

ARHS

@booboo clearly you are a gifted profit!

Finau's chin thought so. He went down like a $1000 hooker.

Well, that was a statement!

Are there any winnable games for the Crusaders this year?

What are the odds on the Crusaders to win the spoon?

Way too early to write off the Crusaders.

Good start for the Chiefs. Cane looks like he set to annoy a few fans this year by having a good season and not just laying down for Dalton. BBBR and DMac had good shifts too - the worrying thing going by that tweet of the three of them earlier in the thread is that the Chiefs might need all 3 on the field to be at their best.

Stevenson carry on his late season form from last year.

Anyway, good way to start the proper rugby watching of the year.

I agree on Cane, he just never stopped tonight, and as you say BBBR was close to MOTM, and DMac, had a pretty mature performance and controlled game pretty well.

Early days, as other have said, but I thought DMac's kicking game was excellent. Would love to see that level of kicking being taken into the ABs playbook.

@Victor-Meldrew
His kicking was far superior to Mounga's, which made a big difference. But I am still wondering why the Chiefs don't use Stevenson's massive boot more often. They did it only once and it made them win about 60 meters.

Watching a replay, what the hell is going on with the music playing flat out when the Chiefs are on attack??

That shit was happening in the Tahs game for Aussie later on too!

Wow! What a terrible result for the Sith.

Yeetyaah

Probably lose

Perhaps DMac to make a late run at the AB starting first-five position.

If he keeps this up maybe. Look forward to his match up with BB edit in round 6

Long way off. Last match before finals

@voodoo Blackadder will be welcomed with open arms back into the AB's.

Monster.

Early days but Dmac and Weber so much better than their counterparts. BBBR being BBBR is heartwarming (wish it wasn't against the Crusaders though...).
Typical early-season Crusaders but if teams can take out the effectiveness of their forward pack, like the Chiefs always try to do, and put their halves under pressure, they might struggle this year.

Old Samurai Jack

Forgot to mention Stevenson. Makes it look easy.

Crucial

@booboo said in Crusaders v Chiefs:

44 mins ... why fucking kick on attack ...

That tactic paid off overall. Numerous dabs through the line eventually made the defence keep half an eye on turning around to cover and Ratima's try took full advantage of that.
