Final - Crusaders v Chiefs
-
I am in two minds over who I would like to see win. On one hand, being a Saders supporter it would be nice, even funny, to see them win this year. A team with maligned players and a maligned coach coming out on top. What's not funny about that?
But on the other hand, the ABs come first for me and it's time now for the Chiefs who are hoping play a big part with the ABs this year to show they are better. And that's a fair chunk of the team. I will be worried for the ABs if they don't.

For the sake of NZ rugby and the ABs, I hope the Chiefs beat the Crusaders well. I don't know what the fuss is about with Ethan. I watched him closely for passages of the game last weekend. He's almost always late to the breakdown, and when he gets there he flops onto the ruck and maybe gives it a push if at all. But I wouldn't say he seems to hit the rucks with any sort of ferocity. He's shit at carrying, doesn't have a passing game, and isn't really a dominant tackler (just ask Caleb). I must be missing something. But if I'm not, I hope he and the rest of the pack are exposed by the Chiefs

About as soft as it gets. If that doesn’t say they are worried I don’t know what does.
NZR should step in here, you want the final to have atmosphere, those cowbells would have at least added something to a shit stadium… baffled.

@Chris ah we have Colin Mainsbridge here on the fern.
Yeah keep your cowbells to yourself you can clang away as much as you want on your home ground.

Honestly I'm a bit of a traditionalist in the sense that I take my cowbells to Waikato NPC/FPC games only and I don't really like the crossover into Super but the Chiefs have leaned into it a bit in the last few years, but it doesn't mean other people can't do whatever they want with them. Mainsbridge is a weak gutted dog

I remember going to a Canes Chiefs game at Waikato Stadium years ago and they had a guy with a chainsaw in a cherry picker. Do they still do that?

'Tight confines'
So cowbells are banned because the ground is too much of a shithole?
No argument there thankfully last game of SR at the shithole.
