Final: Chiefs v Crusaders
-
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.

I always knew the Auckland team of the 80s and 90s was great , but they had a core of the greatest All Blacks you would ever see over a period of time , but this franchise is next level it doesn’t matter who wears the jersey , and the coach will go down as the greatest Super coach bar none
I tip my hat to them Congratulations Saders fans -

And the non red? It was an ok performance by the ref. He didn't cause the awful discipline by the chiefs. The chiefs should've won, but they choked under pressure.

@Damo clearly the 2 best teams in the comp, and came down to the final minutes, cant ask for more really, both teams wuld have been deserving winners, but unsurprisingly, the CRusaders took it

It goes both ways. ALB should have been off for 20 not 10.

Referring was the actual difference and if refed otherwise, 9 times out of 10 would have been a different and correct result!
