Final - Crusaders v Chiefs

[sparky]

The Crusaders are just smarter than the rest at playing Finals footy.

It takes an Aussie to see some running

@Bones Jacomb is massively overrated. Has done very little this year.

I think we've seen the end of calls for Stevenson to be an All Black based on that performance.

And Beaudy is now clear first choice 10.

Chiefs lose twice in one playoffs.

Impressive chokers.

Big effort from Newell.

The chiefs choking 3 finals in a row is absolutely bonkers. Thoughts and prayers with Chiefs fans

Calls for him to be an All Black were never a good reflection on All Blacks standards...

Congratulations to the Crusaders. A fantastic comeback after a disappointing season in 2024.

Elated got on them at $7 back in February what a turnaround for Rob Penney

Fuck that's depressing.

disappointing performance from the Chiefs. Once again falling just short after being the best during the regular season

I was wondering when the choking tag might start

See ya later bridesmaids

Well done Crusaders. I think every other team will be rejoicing at the fact we don’t have to play at that ground anymore.

Carter didn't make his AB case tonight. QT has battled on but whole backline has gone toothless.

QT staked a strong claim in a backline full of incompetence and invisibility.

Well done Crusaders, just did what they had to.

That doesn't feel like a choke, nor did an away loss to the Blues. Going to Christchurch in winter to take on the Crusaders was never exactly a guaranteed Chiefs win to choke on...
