@ACT-Crusader said in SF: Chiefs vs. Brumbies:

Tom Wright has been brilliant for the Chiefs. He’s provided great momentum stoppers, handed over possession and kicked accurately to find the player.

Both sides kicked long without finding grass. Just at the end with the 6 point advantage he tried some things.

Should be a better final than last year.

Chiefs won't roll over like Leon's Blues

Great game.

Next week will be epic.

As good as the crusaders were last night, the Chiefs defence is a tough nut to crack.

Naah, hard for the one dimensional brumbies

[Victor Meldrew]

Gee, that was a great game. Can see more Chiefs players getting a Foster call than Blues players

The ability of Dmac to follow a clear script from the coach was obvious tonight. We have always worried about his inability to do stupid. Tonight he showed exactly how he can play test match footy.

[Donsteppa]

Hell of a game, and a great win.

Crusaders are perennial favourites as always. But... those expecting the Crusaders to walk it in next week have read both semi finals differently to me. The Blues would have been beaten up by both teams out there tonight too. Likely because they'd have given up in contact much quicker.

@ACT-Crusader Super Rugby me thinks is his ceiling probably not international

Picked his moment to put the script away too.

I really want some one to lip read what the ref said to Dr robotnik shaking hands at the end, it didn't look generic 'good game'

[chimoaus]

I just hope Foster sees how a pack of forwards who tackle hard, clear rucks and do their core roles will always beat a team of flashy forwards who hang out on the wing waiting for glory.

[Tordah]

Crazy, how Chiefs basically won every part of the game, but didn't look comfortable just because the Brumbies defence was soo good. Chiefs D was pretty good, too, mind. A lot of players stepped up

[Jailbreak7]

@chimoaus Amen to that bro!

[Steven Harris]

@kev Wright had played well for 70 minutes just a couple of mad headed moments that proved very very costly
Valentini is world class
Foster and Neville could be wallaby locking option
Both the Reds last week and the Brumbies again tonite showed if OZ can put their best 23 on the paddock we will i suspect see some great contests moving forward
Classy interview from Nick White ,bloody awesome competitor ,met him a few years bloody good bugger

Yeah, having almost the perfect game like the Crusaders did is not ideal imo. It's never easy reaching even close to that same level the following week. Will be a very tight final and could go either way.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer thank you

[kev]

The Chiefs avoided giving away penalties (mostly) and piggy backing the Brumbies into 22 for their lineout mauls. Great discipline.

[taniwharugby]

I think next weeks final will step up a gear, for both sides, hopefully be a cracker!

[akan004]

Larkham blaming the ref. Always been a whinger.

[Steven Harris]

@akan004 not as bad as Steve Hansen
