I missed the game.
How did Jacomb go?

Resting Dmac in this game could bite the Chiefs in the arse come playoff time.

Please stop I'm begging you

[Kirwan]

Todays winner was complacency

He played well but was skinned by the 'saders hooker Bell for one try.

[antipodean]

Penney will be on the town tonight having secured a win at Super Rugby level after all these years.

[Canes4life]

Well played Saders, well played.

[sparky]

Congratulations to the Saders. I'm not sure that they are ever going to have a run of consecutive losses like that again.

Looked really promising, did a lot of good things including setting a great try.

[Mattasaurus]

Best game I've watched this year

Was hoping for a better performance from Tupea

I never quite understood the level of hype surrounding him compared to other guys, last season the Chiefs looked midfield looked better with Poihipi or/and Rona paired with ALB.

[Yeetyaah]

Lazy Chiefs performance. Not sure why the Chiefs were labelled as favourites coming into the season.

I don't understand why Poihipi isn't getting time on the park.

Lol Bell doesn't play for Ta$man Wilson.

[African Monkey]

@Kirwan Well it's looking that way....

Crusaders look a different team out there tonight in fairness. Fair to say they're back?

@Bones said in Crusaders v Chiefs:

Hannah really reminds me of a young Whitelock. And not just because he's a 21yo white guy playing at lock.

Big engine and just does the little stuff right. He was very good tonight.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah they've been limp in a big chunk of matches this year, definitely not the same side as last year.

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life yeah I agree.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah then again the comp isn't won in the first couple months so they've got plenty of time to sort out their game. Just don't turn it on in a couple weeks.

[African Monkey]

I've been crucified a bit for defending the Crusaders this year, but they've proven that they're still tough at home and have a much easier draw in the 2nd half of the season with a bit more cattle to come back.

Not saying they're gonna go on and win the thing, but they're still a threat to everyone.

Probably the best I've ever seen Johnny McNicholl play at this level.

[Frank]

Was Lord any good?
How did Hannah go?
(I was going to blame the loss on Vaa'i, but then saw he wasn't playing.)
