Chiefs v Crusaders

Paea looked to be a passenger last week, hope he and Goodhue have better games otherwise the Crusaders will struggle again. Their forward pack is a step down on previous years so the backs need to be humming.

@Tim I'm not surprised. I watched the "incident" several times and it was only TJP with his usual theatrics screaming it was a punch (which was repeated by the commentators), and an AR saying something liket Strange's (fore?)arm hitting Jordie's face/nose. On the images that were shown by Sky, you can with some imagination (it wasn't in close-up) see that Strange's arm touches Jordie's face, but you can't see any striking motion. They didn't show any replay of the incident (the ref didn't go to the TMO), so I can only assume that other camera angles showed that there was nothing in it.

Poor old Jordie with his nose spraying blood for no reason again 😂

Quiet I'm trying to imagine what would happen if Strange punched Evans or Lowe. Do you think those nearby would notice all the air be sucked out of the room before the explosion?

Agree. On top of the players they lost from previous years, they're also missing quite a few starters from earlier this year. Moody, Barrett, Grace. In the backs, obviously, they're missing Ennor and Havili.
Chiefs the favourites for this game with home advantage and getting some players back from injury.

Meanwhile, first five-eighth Aaron Cruden has been promoted to start in his 100th match for the franchise, with coach Warren Gatland admitting not using him off the bench in the 33-31 defeat to the Highlanders a fortnight back was to try and manipulate it so that the milestone match was on home turf. -

@Yeetyaah Do you have any footage with different camera angles to prove that?
I don't think @Yeetyaah is Sky Sports

@Bones Evans is already broken and Lowe already gets injured if you just look at him. No punch needed.
Ah hah! So you admit it was a punch 😬
