Ratima seems like the sort of player Razor would like at 9, IMO.
He did want him at the Crusaders.
I think TJP and Christie will be chosen with the third halfback up for grabs.

He also wanted Fakatava who almost signed with them.
I guess Rangi will want Christie ...

Inside word is the chiefs are 50/50 to win next week.
My bad for sharing something I got told a few hours before the game that ended up happening… two weeks in a row. I am NOT the new George
50/50 thoughIt's not you I'm taking the piss out of fella...

@Canes4life not surprising that the Chiefs won and will win next week. Only teams with outstanding first fives win the comp. Mehrts, Larkham, Carter, Spencer, Cruden, Mounga etc. And McKenzie will be the next.

mmm, Derrick Hougard and Bernard Foley’s standing seems to have been significantly elevated from okay to “outstanding” now…..

Rugby hates itself.
We have to call that try back because of a potentially glancing blow to head.
And now you’ll need to spend 10 in the bin because you smashed a guy - totally legitimately- half a second late.
I don’t think there is anything to see when a little white guy leads with his head on this guy though.

Canes suck lol. Hold that L

@Canes4life said in SF - Hurricanes vs Chiefs:
@KiwiMurph yeah bro was at the game. Disappointed but the Chiefs were the better team on the day. Fair play to them.
Canes will be better for the experience. Getting Roigard, Savea and Numia back when it matters next year will help.
All in all a much better year but still disappointing to finish the way we did.
TBH it's been a stellar season for the Canes considering no one really expected them to be in the semis. Less crucial injuries and a five-eighth who doesn't conspire to fuck everything up and they'll be a considerable force for a while.

I think they got away from playing the rugby that got them there. Far too expansive early, and never really recovered. Chiefs played a very efficient finals football game, which allowed their players to shine

@ACT-Crusader @Landers92 I sense some frantic goalpost transportation will be along in due course...

All I ask is for next week is for Angus Gardner to NOT be the referee next week.
Or Doleman

Hell of a win for the Chiefs. Around the 55 - 60 minute mark I thought we were about to be run down in a hurry.
A massive physical battle all round. Physios will sur earn their keep after that one.
That intercept from Sititi that led to the try broke us there

A few millimeters the other way and he would have had a yellow for deliberate knock down but it was his night for sure and showed exceptional skill to hold on to it

How did they miss TJP's head hit on the Chiefs No.8? That was some shite officiating! Cripes, almost conspiracy-making incompetency.
Canes will be better next year. The difference was the Chiefs experience in losing the final last year I reckon.
Finau is my favourite Super Rugby player. A friggen legend in the making. I am not sure they should play DMac in the final, if those nasty Aucks somehow conspire to injure him, the ABs are in the shit. -
Let the 9 throw it in like the 70's

Very pleased with that result. But geez I think the TJs and the dickhead TMO really let down Gardner with their oversights and review judgements.
Best game I have seen from Ratima. TJP was at his worst though, trying to milk every advantage. Christie is easily our best test 9 behind Roigard now.
Don't get all the rubbishing Jacobsen Vaai and ALB get on this forum either.
DMac remains most influential player in Super rugby.
And Sititi and Dyer might get watched closer by AB selectors in final.
Thinking hard about a trip to Eden Park next Saturday like about 20000 others from Chiefs territory no doubt!
Anyways great season Canes! Very consistent throughout and so many players playing to peak ability each week. -

Berbizier used to throw for the Frogs in the 80s. Underarm. But I digress.
