Interesting for me is how poor Crotty has been. And the mistakes made by Havili and Ennor. However game lost with 3 dreadful throws by Ben Funnell.

Crotty looks just soooo slooooooooowww.

Crotty and SBW in the AB’s midfield and we’d need Usain Bolt somewhere in the mix to make up for it. .

@Machpants Not with our comedy front five I am afraid.

@Machpants they had to roll the dice. Thought they threw the ball away with too many box kicks in last 15. Needed to hold ball and break defence down.

[Victor Meldrew]

Chiefs better team. Outstanding spirit.

[Donsteppa]

No longer grumpy about the home game not being at ‘home’

[gt12]

Even if it’s not this year, this combo will wear black:

12. ALB
13. Goodbye
14. Ennor

I saw that coming, how dumb was that? Mo'unga moron

Mounga didn't do a hell of a lot tonight did he, Debreczeni (spelling) was the better 10. Shows that RM isn't the second coming - and makes mistakes.

One of the great NZ Rugby comebacks. One we will talk about for years and years.

How exhausted did Sammy Cane look during the interview? Cracking win Chiefs, well done!

[Chris]

Faaaaark hate losing but great game Chiefs some real passion deserved the win

[chimoaus]

So enjoyable, one of those games which was just a pleasure to watch, they don't happen that often so credit to all involved including the refs.

If we're excluding Nonu on pace, and then questioning SBW's pace then Crotty should be under the same microscope.

@taniwharugby I haven’t seen the consistency in Ennors game. Looks great running forward with ball in hand (speed and size) but not totally convinced. Agree with comments about SBW and Crotty together. SBW has played hardly any rugby last 2 years. Crotty better but needs to pick it up.

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean I wonder if the Chiefs injury situation has meant he has played much more than they had planned, what is it 3 games back and what, >200 mins for them?

[African Monkey]

Great game well done Chiefs!

[Steven Harris]

Great game from the chiefs..
Sam Cane my MOM ..his turn overs in the last 10 were priceless
Really fantastic to see Jack Debreczini steer the chiefs around his use of the inside ball opened the Saders consistently during the game.
Superb games from Wainui, Alaimalo and Weber if he does not get selected on form ,you would have to question Hansen..
I reckon that first 20 minutes may have come to easy for the Saders ..but man alive you have got to give the Chiefs their dues..they have ticker in spades..
I see a few are already having a crack at Read..to be fair he had a quiet night,but I certainly did not see a whole lot of mistakes from the All Black skipper..and in my humble opinion he’s still way ahead in terms of experience,Leadership,brains and more importantly temperament..!
Great nights entertainment compared to what I saw 24 hours ago.

Comedy gold, that comment.
