    it is astounding to me that this is a dead rubber for the Chiefs

    That Blues squad is absolutely stacked. They have a supposed good coach, and a respected assistant. The Chiefs lost every game last season, and the first two this season.

    And yet, here we are. Chiefs are resting players for the final.

    Crusaders agent embedded as Blues coach is playing the long game...

    Where have I heard that before 🤔 🤔 🤔

    Not serious. That would have to be a very dedicated agent and I don't think Rangi is that good an actor..

    Never trust those Cantabs. Agent Deans did a great job for them as did Agent Hammett. Agent Gibson started work on the Tahs and Agent Penney finished it.

    This just adds to the mystery of the Crusaders franchise, if it isn't the players, the coaches, or the grounds (as shown by earthquakes)..it must be the... halftime oranges?

    It's the refs favouring them. I thought that was obvious.

        It's a deal on Gatland. WE might keep our 2 and 15 for a while longer though thanks.

              10 time champs playing at home (where they have never lost a playoff game) try to claim underdog status. Gotta love the NZ mentality.

                  So have they finally spotted Ruru's limitations?

                  The Plummer experiment has at least been shelved, but then the bizzarre selection of Heem?

                    I thought the queue at the local TAB was a lot longer and happier looking than usual.

                        nah, they just forgot last week was Christies turn to start.

                        Was that 2 starts back to back for Ruru?

                                  I'm pretty sure that Sullivan played at 10 for Napier Boys before he was poached. Not sure what position he played up in Auckland school rugby

                                    Miracles have happened! Ruru gone and Sullivan there!

                                    Excited to see how Sullivan goes. Good match to debut in, nothing really on the line

                                    Was class personified for Auckland last year. A proper 15 not some 10 shoehorned into there

                                    Am I missing a joke? Sullivan is a ten that can play fullback.

                                    I'm pretty sure that Sullivan played at 10 for Napier Boys before he was poached. Not sure what position he played up in Auckland school rugby

                                          Even more changes for the Chiefs than I predicted.
