      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

            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.

                  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.

                    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.

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

                        Great game. Probably best of the year.

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

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

                                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.

                                    Wasn't the ref's fault the Chiefs gave away so many penalties. They should've been playing with 14 for two-thirds of the game anyway.

                                        Ref was fine. Chiefs have had a great season. Not many scrums but lineout work of Crusaders won the hame

                                          As a neutral I have no idea how you can say the best team lost tonight.

                                          Saders were good. They controlled the ball and territory well and had better discipline.
