QF Chiefs v Blues
-
I think the only choking from the Chiefs really was the decision to kick for goal.
The Blues were pretty lucky to escape with the win so don't see why any team would feel comfortable playing the Chiefs now, who will also go into every match with a massive point to prove.

Also has to be noted that the Chiefs lost their captain before kick-off, plus Simon Parker and Josh Lord during the match, and ended up having a midfielder on the flank and a first five in the midfield.
If the injuries are only short-term and Tupaea returns next week, they'll be an even more formidable side.

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
Rewards for being top seed I guess, which I have no complaints with.
Yeah we’ve all known the rules since the start of the season so can’t complain.

I'm not complaining for this year
I'm saying should it be looked at for next year
The reward should be a second life
Not a second life and a home semi

Josh Lord
To be expected.
Managed six games in a row! Might be a record.

I'm probably in the minority myself, but I do feel like being minor premiers deserves reward, so I'm happy for them to get rewarded for it.
It gives 1st place more meaning.

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

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

That game speaks to how good Super rugby is this year.
Any team can tip up another.
Shitty as a Chiefs fan but great as a Super rugby fan.
And, if the Blues tip up the Saders and we sneak past the winner today, a re-match would be neat.@gt12 said in QF Chiefs v Blues:

I must admit that the Chiefs are often my favourite team to watch.

Or is it?
They do make for great games, and I really don't want the fucking Saders to win again, so you guys better go do a job next week.

There was some chat on here that Ryan and Sotutu have now buried the hatchet
Hopefully not in a back (oops, double meaning)..

@Tim I really enjoyed watching the Chiefs in the final last year
Saved the Blues boys a trip to Wellington as well.

@Canerbry said in QF Chiefs v Blues:
Poor quality but decent contest, heaps of the Fern's favourite players choked it at key moments on both sides.
I'm pretty happy facing either of those sides next week, would have preferred the Chiefs mainly for the waaaahing the fans make when they lose like in 2023.
If you thought tonight was poor quality, I’d hate to know what you classify last nights dud

@Landers92 the Crusaders played far better finals rugby last night than either of these two teams.

Against a worse team than either team playing tonight
