[KiwiMurph]

A much better final than last year

@kev said in Final: Chiefs v Crusaders:

Crusaders lineout work top notch.

I think half of the ones down the back aren’t straight, but we aren’t putting a man up enough

[Dan54]

A Bloody good one this game!! Proper feel of final!

[kev]

Will they review ALB tackle post game or is that it?

[Tordah]

@kev maybe he can claim some Irish heritage and say it was an absorbing tackle, should be good then

[Bones]

What the fuck was ALB up to?

How the fuck does Stevenson have defensive shortcomings but yeah cool Jordan is fine?

Vaai sucks as a tight forward.

[pakman]

Apart from maul, Chch haven’t shown much. But with BOK there worth potentially ten points a half.

[taniwharugby]

@kev I assume like all YC, the citing commissioner can still review it?

[Old Samurai Jack]

Honestly baffled why SS isn't in the ABs (properly)

[pakman]

Stevenson try was classic Chiefs.

[Bones]

Oh and yeah Mounga has not improved on defence.

Yeah he has, markedly improved from where he was... not perfect but certainly improved

Hopefully they review the TMO, too. Should be punished, too.

and despite the whinging, I think BOK had been ok

[ploughboy]

im with kriwan okeefee is crooked

Turinui critical of Stevenson's defence marshalling on the Mo'unga try

He was fooled by the dummy, but either way it was a try. He had too commit, imo

[gt12]

For the chiefs, its simple, territory and discipline.

Edit: especially we need to cut out the piggy-back penalties

[Canerbry]

Classy fern, whinging about the ref. It's not the refs fault you had 20 something penalties for the same thing.

Crusaders playing MUCH smarter, playing in the right half of the field and being mostly pretty patient (except for Ennor coming put of the line to let "2023's Roger Randall/Bruce Reihana" Stevenson score, and strangling the Chiefs attack.

Mo ahead of Dmac right now.

[RoninWC]

As usual, bullshit calls in favour of the southern retards!

2 forward passes missed by a biased refereeing squad!

[Stockcar86]

@Machpants he was caught a bit narrow at Jordan’s break in the play before
