Crusaders vs Chiefs
-
Law interpretations aside, I thought that was a pretty entertaining game. Impossible to say how the season will pan out after one game, but both teams showed some class.
One thing is that DMac needs to show some vast improvements at 10. The raw talent is certainly there but there are way too many fark ups if he has ambitions of being an international 10. With Lima S pissing off it's BB and then about a dozen grand canyons.

Yeah looked like a good crowd, I was seeing Dizzee Rascal at Electric Avenue so watched delayed in my tired and emotional state.
First two cards were fucking bullshit, Dmac runs brilliantly sideways before getting ragdolled, Cane needs to go for a run. The Bosh could have tackled Crotty under the arms, result would have been a try rather than a penalty try and a card, which is better surely? Scoreline was accurate.
Smell ya later Chiefs.

Amazing whinging on here by the usual suspects.....
Mackenzie should be at 15, ngatai at 12 Cooper is a shit coach.
> Who would you have at 10?
I do agree Ngatai should be at 12. Fa'auli is trash
Ngatai!
But, seriously. Who else is there, fucking M-Mckenzie? Fuck that. Falcon may be amazing, but won't get a chance.
We've tied ourselves to Dmac, so we'll have to eat him making bad decisions and us losing close games (or, as it turns out, not close games) and hope that this year or next he develops into something good.
Or Falcon turns out to be awesome if he gets a run and can't be not selected. Those are the options, because if it is Marty, we are fighting for 10th on the table (or worse).

Remember the days when we used to say ,
'if we lose Carter we are in deep shit '
its starting to feel like that again .

Looking at the penalty try last night, it reminded me of a similar one in the 2015 semi-final, where Jacques Potgieter got sinbinned, as the Highlanders were awarded a penalty try.
