After watching those last few minutes, I really don’t want to see Finau anywhere near an All Blacks 6 jersey in important games. That was shambolic from him.
Would have been carded several times by NH refs. Shoulder charges, late tackles.
Just so fucking dumb it’s baffling. No other way to put it

Well done blues, stuck in the fight and it paid off. I’ll admit, I didn’t think they could do it but happy to be proven wrong. Anything is possible in finals footy. Good watch for a neutral.
Was as great watch for a neutral. One thing I will say, by geez the Blues have looked a much better organised team when BB runs the cutter. Also tonight was best game I have seen from Sotutu for a long time.

I don’t see the Chiefs coming back from that next week, I’d be hoping to play them.
Huge choke, and with the injuries we just won’t be able to put out a good enough side IMO.
I’d be massively confident playing the Chiefs next week. The Canes just have to get passed the Brumbies and their feral fans.

Does anyone feel another home semi is too much of an advantage for Chiefs?
Not only do they get a second life they get a home game
I feel if you lose you should have another life but go to the bottom of the pack.

I can’t argue with that.
You could see that loss coming from all the missed opportunities in the first half.
It felt a bit like Oct 31st 1999.
I’m just so fucking fucking furious about that kick for goal. I know it’s not the only important play but it was already so obvious that territory was more important than points at that stage.
-
Poor quality but decent contest, heaps of the Fern's favourite players choked it at key moments on both sides.
I'm pretty happy facing either of those sides next week, would have preferred the Chiefs mainly for the waaaahing the fans make when they lose like in 2023.
-
Anyone else feel like the Chiefs blew it with the 'up the guts' game plan playing into the Blues strengths?
They still probably would have got over the line if not for the injuries, but kudos to the Blues and their desperation to keep the season alive.
Messy game, would have been a mediocre watch if not for the tension. -

Yep, dumb decision. Should have kept the Blues down their own end.

If you thought tonight was poor quality, I’d hate to know what you classify last nights dud

Rewards for being top seed I guess, which I have no complaints with.

Cantabs don't like the Blues.

Yeah we’ve all known the rules since the start of the season so can’t complain.

Just looking at that last try again. A hell of an effort from Beehre
I'm surprised that he gets so little attention from the media. It's all about Holland. Beehre should be in the conversation for the ABs.
Beehre is a gun aye. Has he just come back?

Been starting ahead of LM for most of the year. Cotter mentioned last week that he was a bit banged up after all the minutes

Funny how this season has gone aye. Blues lose to Moana, Chiefs smack Moana by 80 points and then Blues beat Chiefs.
