Chiefs v Crusaders

Well done Chiefs
Super rugby still not a great product
Commentators still painful
Berry still one of my least favorite officials - that said I liked him calling for the ball to be used so quickly.

Interesting take after a good opening game in front of a good crowd

Good game that - well done to both teams. Crusaders will only get better with more time to build combinations as will the Chiefs. Hope Tupaea is OK.

That was very very hard work.
If we have lost Dmac for an extended timeframe, we will not be going anywhere - Stevenson looks like half the player he is where they just shovel ball to him and hope he’ll do something.
Also really showed up our lack of depth - LCF and Tupou are two examples of players who just aren’t good enough for this level.
Stevensons kicking is so valuable from fullback.

Agreed, but he needs Dmac there to get his / our positioning right, plus we have no counter attack without Dmac out there holding defenders

Well I’m a neutral in that I hate both teams, and I enjoyed that game. Not sure what else you could ask for, that was a fun game, good trys, massive hits.

If he’s out, start Jacomb

Very tempting.

@chimoaus be better having Crotty at 12 and one if them outside him.

McLeod might be a better winger.
Havili is back soon too (next week?). I’d be tempted to find room for him and Crotty somehow

That game felt like Super Rugby of old. Well played by both teams.

Can't see Lio-Willie being kept out of the starting 15 for too long. Workhorse for the Crusaders in the 2nd-half.

@Old-Samurai-Jack agreed, Gardiner was rubbish in that first half.

Fihaki & Reihana aren’t good enough to be starters
Disagree on reihana, he's been fine
