Final: Chiefs v Crusaders

[Mackerzzzz]

A lot of that's on canes yellow card....

[Damo]

Great game. Probably best of the year.

I hope everyone lays off Ben O'Keefe. He did OK in trying circumstances.

[antipodean]

Why have a 80kg five-eighth run the ball hard at defenders? What sort of brain dead shit is that?

Great team, great coaches. Did it again.

[Kirwan]

Told you the Crusaders were safe with Ben O’Thief in charge.

So many non calls.

Taranaki still haven't been part of a SR title, splitters

Cannot believe they didn't take the scrum advantage in the Crusaders half.

Just drop the fucking ball

Reminded me of the ABs v France 2007 QF

What a game, woulda been great for the Chiefs to win, but what a way to bow out for Razor too.

The penalty was where we lost it, needed territory

You lost it from the resulting lineout, when again you couldn't secure your own ball. You would have just messed up again if the lineout was further down the field.

I’d have preferred it on their 22, thanks.

Still wouldn't have secured the ball. Lineout was probably the difference tonight.

Well done Saders.

[KiwiMurph]

Wonderful game.

Chiefs choked at the end - Cane and Dmac blew it.

I had to laugh at suggestions crusaders would win easy.

Congratulations Crusaders. Deserved winners.

[pakman]

Sorry, but Crusaders are bogus champions. Well played Chiefs. No silverware, but best NZ team in 2023. Would love to see a Sader acknowledge that best side lost.

[gt12]

Cracking game. Big game spirit of the Saders won that.

Hahaha, sure. Made many mistakes including 2 missed forward passes to gift a Crusaders try!

[Mattasaurus]

Congratulations Saders and Scott Robertson awesome close out

Commiserations Chiefs and supporters some excellent rugby this season ... and so close.. but discipline was the difference for me tonight

Chiefs had their chances and blew it. It's not on BOK.

He ref'd well, TBH. A few missed calls both ways. For instance, the Chiefs last lineout was clearly not straight and it wasn't called.

Sitting in a Taranaki bar watching this.
I guess I should say... GFY, and EABOD.
