Did both Ennor and Goodhue go off before?

So it's confirmed, Ryan was the puppet master at the Crusaders.
Just. Stop. It.

Great game. Don't know how much of this is down to the new rules, but even if it's just a bit, they're working.
-
GG Chiefs, if this is a template for super Rugby we are in for a treat. The pace is just so much better than the shit we have been served up in recent years.
I bet the Saffas are fucken happy they are not in Super Rugby anymore they would really struggle with these rules.

I wonder how many missed tackles LF has? He looked pretty average.
On the plus side, Reece was impressive on D.

21 points at home is a hiding, and the Chiefs have dominated the second half. Can't remember the last time the Crusaders copped it at home like this.
Chiefs forwards have owned the breakdown.
One might think that the coaches and squad were distracted, perhaps?

Great 2nd 40 by the Chiefs...
Plenty of players stepped up

Is this one of their biggest losses at home for some time?
Similar to the Highlanders win in Christchurch in 2021. That was 33-12

Did they have Mo'unga and Taylor playing that day? They are missing Whitelock, but I'm surprised that they haven't been able to get much going with the talent they had out there.
Edit: To answer my question, it looks like they all played that day.

entertaining first game... not many would have picked the margin.
BBBR and Stevenson with Cane, Webber & Ioane (he has it in him but so rarely produces it) were particularly good.
Am picking ball security will be a work on from both teams.
I wasn't particularly impressed with Moungas game tonight.
-
Stevenson has been brilliant tonight.

As has DMac.
A difference in the 2nd half is the chiefs started winning their lineout
