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.

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!

Told you the Crusaders were safe with Ben O’Thief in charge.
So many non calls.
Chiefs had their chances and blew it. It's not on BOK.

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.

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.

Taranaki still haven't been part of a SR title, splitters
Sitting in a Taranaki bar watching this.
I guess I should say... GFY, and EABOD. -
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.

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.

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.

They had no plan to attack from that 53 out. Needed to go to the corner and secure the ball. Terrible by the game leaders to not try to make the right call there.

Disagree. When the Chiefs get penalised for something that the Crusaders just did it’s not a good look.
