Reiko’s ball security must be an issue for the ABs
I've been a fan for years.
But based on his recent performances, unless there is a dramatic improvement in his standards, he shouldn't be anywhere near an AB squad.
Is he even the best centre in the Blues squad?

Goalkicking will hurt Crusaders in tighter games, but they’ll be tough to beat at the pointy end of the season. Blues season running close to TKO at this point, surely.
JOC will be In the ten shirt soon, I think
Maybe. Let’s hope the hair gel doesn’t run out in Chch before then. Kemara isn’t too bad, but definitely not showing signs of greatness.

Havili very good tonight. What has happened to the Blues this season???
How shit is Finlay Christie
Both teams look cooked
Hohepa shown up horribly for pace by Tele’a for that try. Blues will be stoked with the W.
Wtf was the end of that match?!!
@antipodean said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
Not sure the weight of captaincy is helping Havili's game.
Yeah. He’s struggling to reach the giddy heights of just being ‘pretty average’. Well done Chiefs, blew us away in the 2nd.
The big question is what does this say about the Hurricanes
Chiefs pulling down our pants and spanking us now
@Mattasaurus said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
I really like Tupaea and ALB combo
I like it too, just nowhere near the ABs
Chiefs > Crusaders 
Havili doesn’t know his own power

@Machpants said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
Yup, more dumb shit from abs
that's the bigger concern.. a real lack of rugby smarts in our top tier players
Agree. The likes of the Irish are generally so disciplined, whereas our players seem to do dumb shit all the time
I feel dirty cheering for O’Connor, but here we are
@gt12 said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
That’s why it should be an automatic HIA
I don’t disagree with you
Fletcher Newell off for the rest of the game with supposed ‘HIA fail’. What a Hollywood! This is disgusting
@Tim said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
@Steven-Harris He did miss the tackle on Roe.
Yes, but his energy and effort in that miss was immense.
