@Bones Jacomb is massively overrated. Has done very little this year.

The hype he gets should go to Reihana

[Jet]

Rob Penney copped a fair amount of welly last year and rightly so.

Fair play to him for turning it around.

@Mattasaurus Reece?

That would be funny.

[MacDazzler]

Chiefs are the early 90s Buffalo Bills of Super Rugby.

Munster on the phone to McMillan seeking to renegotiate his contract?

A 10 who does the basics effectively is worth keeping an eye on.

Chiefs forwards didn't carry well or control ball in the second half. DMac little leadership.

Tupaea very good.

So often a great backline attacking team gets to a final and can't use the ball.

Not if they don't win the battle up front.... The pack lacked direction

Other than Quin T, no other Chiefs stood up. Well deserved Crusaders

I disagree really, if only one Chief stood up, were the crusaders so bad, they just beat 1 man?

[sparky]

Taylor, Williams and Jordan were the best on show I thought.

[Canes4life]

Will Jordan has been the difference to the Crusaders.

Chiefs shouldn’t have lost the Blues.

[ACT Crusader]

The small things often matter in games like this. And there were plenty of small moments from both sides that built up to impact opportunities.

Impressed with our D to cut off many opportunities the Chiefs wanted to move it wider. The conditions and the gruel took its toll on the chiefs forwards in that second half and they looked gassed playing a lot of ball in their own half.

Not a great game by any stretch of the imagination but at least it was close (I guess)

Stoked for Penny, Havili, Taylor and all the boys.

[Tim]

Thought Vaa'i was good for most of the game.

Mate, Crusaders just monstered the Chiefs. Chiefs CHOKED again.

[Donsteppa]

Well played by the Crusaders. The door was briefly open in the first 15 minutes, but after that the clamps went on. A good way for a home team and fans to send out a stadium that way too.

disappointing performance from the Chiefs. Once again falling just short after being the best during the regular season

The front row of the Crusaders too good. Win on the back of forward dominance and kicking your goals.

[His Bobness]

@Donsteppa Oh yes, I meant it literally.

Think there would be a massive circle jerk over Reihana if he played for any other franchise.

Hard for any Crusader 10 to be given a fair shake coming after Dan Carter and then Mo'unga.

But he is a champion himself now. Good on him.

If they monstered .them, not sure.the chiefs choked...

[MajorPom]

Looked like a mental loss to me.

Crusaders were clinical, Chiefs were second best, no question.
