QF Chiefs v Blues

[Stag]

@KiwiMurph as far as I can tell the Reds finished above the Blues

[Tim]

@Stag Obviously the Crusaders now. I don't see how beating a poor Reds team compares to today's game. Especially given how well the Chiefs have dealt to the Crusaders.

Yeah posters that only turn up in an idiotic attempt to crow after one decent win should be banned. Go be Irish or Australian elsewhere

[Tim]

@Bones Agreed

Always Crusaders fans too. Narcissists.

@African-Monkey Even sadder when they claim to be from another Super Rugby team's region. Like the little dog yapping behind the big dog in a cartoon.

Reds have lost 4 straight playoff games

Blues have won 4 straight playoff games

Clear enough?

I think the only choking from the Chiefs really was the decision to kick for goal

And if Ratima had scored that try they may have kicked on

[Tim]

Interesting stat from Rugbypass: the Chiefs ended up making more tackles. IIRC, the Blues had to make a lot more tackles in the first half.

Only watched highlights

Great contest

Chiefs choked like the Irish

Losing and advancing to a home SF just shows how retarded the 'organisers' of SR are

Isnt it the reward for being top seeds?

Play an extra meaningless match?

Being real, not starting your best loose forward, because you want “impact” is woke nonsense. Wallace Sititi should be playing the 80. Monumental error from McMillan.

Just looking at that last try again. A hell of an effort from Beehre

"Big players pull off big plays at big moments" John Madden

Beehre did exactly that.

[Tim]

@Duluth I noticed on a replay of Eklund's try that Papalii was driving him over the line with the assist.

Sititi seemed to go missing when the going got tough for his team - like he did in last years final.

The Chiefs were almost exclusively defending for the final 20 minutes or so. Not too much a player can do in that situation (except maybe strip Sotutu of the ball and send the Chiefs off on a counter attack).

Will be interesting to see where Papali'i is in terms of AB selection. His name has barely been mentioned all year, but does he have a role there? Hard to know whether he's in the picture or not.
