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

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

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

      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

                  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.

                          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

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

                              LF and Goodhue in the middle for me.

                                  Well done Chiefs. Great crowd, well done Chiefs region!
                                  Stevenson looked good in a game of that intensity so that is bloody pleasing.
                                  Crusaders need a halfback and for Jordan to return to fullback.
                                  What isn't so pleasing is RMs brainfart kick in the 71st minute or whatever. If that was the ABs I would be sooo stressed right now. Just what is the thinking process for that decision? Just dire for an AB pivot.

                                        How good is it these players stay so long after the game to engage with fans and sign autographs etc.
