QF Chiefs v Blues

Sotutu was outstanding. MOTM.

Maybe has a point to prove.

Sotutu was outstanding. MOTM.

Had a few South Island types lining up to bash him when returning from knee surgery. One of them for a game he didn't even play. They've all fucked off now.

Chiefs on the choke, or Blues on the rise?

Both, give us the trophy now........

All we have to do is win at a place where we've won once in 21 years, no sweat.

Unlike that lot.....

@Mr-Fish Maybe they just struggle mentally with playoff rugby? Bloody good team otherwise. ABs were like that until 2011.

There was some chat on here that Ryan and Sotutu have now buried the hatchet

Tim

@KiwiMurph I hope so for the ABs and Blues sake.

Chiefs/Crusaders then Chiefs, Hurricanes or Brumbies all away to win the title

That would be the hardest final series in the comps history

KiwiMurph

I was waiting and waiting for DMac to stamp his mark but it never really happened - Beauden clearly outplayed him

I've said it before. Hoskins Sotutu is one hell of a player. If Robertson's All Blacks don't want him, England or Fiji will.

Sounds like a walk in the park......

Was good to see Clarke play with more confidence this week. Lam good as usual.

After watching those last few minutes, I really don’t want to see Finau anywhere near an All Blacks 6 jersey in important games. That was shambolic from him.

Well done blues, stuck in the fight and it paid off. I’ll admit, I didn’t think they could do it but happy to be proven wrong. Anything is possible in finals footy. Good watch for a neutral.

Would have been carded several times by NH refs. Shoulder charges, late tackles.

Sotutu was a beast tonight. Razor probably wasn’t even watching because the Saders advanced last night and he’s probably already picked his loosies.

Just so fucking dumb it’s baffling. No other way to put it

Was as great watch for a neutral. One thing I will say, by geez the Blues have looked a much better organised team when BB runs the cutter. Also tonight was best game I have seen from Sotutu for a long time.

I don’t see the Chiefs coming back from that next week, I’d be hoping to play them.

Huge choke, and with the injuries we just won’t be able to put out a good enough side IMO.

I’d be massively confident playing the Chiefs next week. The Canes just have to get passed the Brumbies and their feral fans.

KiwiMurph

Does anyone feel another home semi is too much of an advantage for Chiefs?

Not only do they get a second life they get a home game
