Final - Crusaders v Chiefs

[sparky]

Congratulations to the Crusaders. A fantastic comeback after a disappointing season in 2024.

[Grooter]

Elated 🙌 got on them at $7 back in February what a turnaround for Rob Penney

And Beaudy is now clear first choice 10.

Fuck that's depressing.

[Tordah]

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

Chiefs lose twice in one playoffs.

Impressive chokers.

I was wondering when the choking tag might start

See ya later bridesmaids

Well done Crusaders. I think every other team will be rejoicing at the fact we don’t have to play at that ground anymore.

Carter didn't make his AB case tonight. QT has battled on but whole backline has gone toothless.

QT staked a strong claim in a backline full of incompetence and invisibility.

[taniwharugby]

Well done Crusaders, just did what they had to.

The chiefs choking 3 finals in a row is absolutely bonkers. Thoughts and prayers with Chiefs fans

That doesn't feel like a choke, nor did an away loss to the Blues. Going to Christchurch in winter to take on the Crusaders was never exactly a guaranteed Chiefs win to choke on...

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

We'll take him at the Landers so you can hate him that little bit more.

[Mattasaurus]

Rivez Reihana .... MOTM close second Will Jordan

Well done Saders -- felt the Saders fwds had the edge - particularly in the scrum .

[mariner4life]

Great win Crusaders. Not pretty but perfect finals footy. Tackled like demons, stayed disciplined, chased every kick, kept it tight. far too good.

Diabolical by the Chiefs, an absolute shit show.

[Steven Harris]

Absolutely stocked for Rob Penny he copped some unwanted press last year
As a Northlander absolutely rapt for Rivez Reihana and Matt Moulds
Reihana 2 weeks in a row outplays BB now D-Mac

[Mattasaurus]

Whos going to be in the paper for smacking Just Marshall tomorow?

[nostrildamus]

Jordan MOTM? Great impact but overall I'd give it to their front row + Bower...

[Tim]

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.

[Darth Sader]

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

@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.
