    Yes. I'll take that win!

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

      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.

      Second half had been a great improvement.

      Could hardly get worse.

              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.

                    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).

                                    Full credit to Cane, just puts his head down and does the hard yards, would be interested to see his tackle stats.

                                      Japan seems to have matured him a bit. Earlier era DMac might have gone for the try rather than pass to Stevenson

                                          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).

                                          LF and Goodhue in the middle for me.
