    It's all because the coaches won't let them play their natural game...

    Seems to me DMac has curbed his natural game and is way better for it.

    The fact he was that bad early, and this good now is actually a great sign

      This is why I love Rugby, if only every game was this good.

        That's a lovely set piece move. I thought they'd stuffed it.

            Yes. I'll take that win!

            The Crusaders seem to have a game policy of holding Cane behind the ruck.

              Second half had been a great improvement.

                    Bloody entertaining game. Well done Chiefs.

                    Crowd was awesome.

                      Crusaders just aren't the same without Jordan and Reece.

                        Best I've seen for a while. Loved it. Both teams were good.

                        Impressed. Chiefs showed a bit of fortitude to get that result.

                          That's a very fair point.

                            Man that was great, test match quality, and a couple of teams giving it everything.

                              Was worried Stevenson would shrink. No such worries. Chiefs back 3 were brilliant.

                                  Narawa, SS really pressing for higher honours. LF hot and cold, and RM AWOL when Saders really needed him

                                    Their attack was toothless until Goodhue came on (LF the exception)

                                      Not threatening enough in backs at this level without them. Goodhue looked good though.

                                        Chiefs made some nice adjustments as the game went on

                                        They are completely buying in to what ever messaging they are getting

                                          I think this game should show that Havili isn't a quality 12, Ennor plays better wide (on the wing) and DMac plays better with time and space (fullback).
