@Canes4life not surprising that the Chiefs won and will win next week. Only teams with outstanding first fives win the comp. Mehrts, Larkham, Carter, Spencer, Cruden, Mounga etc. And McKenzie will be the next.
mmm, Derrick Hougard and Bernard Foley’s standing seems to have been significantly elevated from okay to “outstanding” now…..
And Lima lol

@ACT-Crusader @Landers92 I sense some frantic goalpost transportation will be along in due course...

All I ask is for next week is for Angus Gardner to NOT be the referee next week.
Or Doleman
Probably Berry

Hell of a win for the Chiefs. Around the 55 - 60 minute mark I thought we were about to be run down in a hurry.
A massive physical battle all round. Physios will sur earn their keep after that one.
That intercept from Sititi that led to the try broke us there
A few millimeters the other way and he would have had a yellow for deliberate knock down but it was his night for sure and showed exceptional skill to hold on to it

How did they miss TJP's head hit on the Chiefs No.8? That was some shite officiating! Cripes, almost conspiracy-making incompetency.
Canes will be better next year. The difference was the Chiefs experience in losing the final last year I reckon.
Finau is my favourite Super Rugby player. A friggen legend in the making. I am not sure they should play DMac in the final, if those nasty Aucks somehow conspire to injure him, the ABs are in the shit. -

Let the 9 throw it in like the 70's
Normally was the winger in the 70s over arm style

Very pleased with that result. But geez I think the TJs and the dickhead TMO really let down Gardner with their oversights and review judgements.
Best game I have seen from Ratima. TJP was at his worst though, trying to milk every advantage. Christie is easily our best test 9 behind Roigard now.
Don't get all the rubbishing Jacobsen Vaai and ALB get on this forum either.
DMac remains most influential player in Super rugby.
And Sititi and Dyer might get watched closer by AB selectors in final.
Thinking hard about a trip to Eden Park next Saturday like about 20000 others from Chiefs territory no doubt!
Anyways great season Canes! Very consistent throughout and so many players playing to peak ability each week. -

Berbizier used to throw for the Frogs in the 80s. Underarm. But I digress.

I made a comment before that game about complacency but I actually think it was more of a freeze/choke.
Canes just didn’t want the ball until it was too late.
I think this team just didn't time their run right. The Canes played their best rugby at the start and through the middle of the season. We haven't looked at our best for the last three or four weeks unfortunately. Whereas the Chiefs did the opposite and are timing their run to perfection. I've seen the Canes choke plenty of times but this wasn't a choke in my view, our form just turned to shit at the wrong time.
A huge challenge for Laidlaw next year is to get the guys humming towards the back end of the campaign if they want success. The Blues and Chiefs have gone through the same learnings over the last few years aswell and they are better for it now.

filthy casuals are filthy casuals.
Refs sucked, but the Chefs have far more to complain about. The card on Jacobsen was ridiculous. Rugby hates itself.
