    Great game. Don't know how much of this is down to the new rules, but even if it's just a bit, they're working.

    GG Chiefs, if this is a template for super Rugby we are in for a treat. The pace is just so much better than the shit we have been served up in recent years.

    I bet the Saffas are fucken happy they are not in Super Rugby anymore they would really struggle with these rules.

    I wonder how many missed tackles LF has? He looked pretty average.

    Is this one of their biggest losses at home for some time?

    On the plus side, Reece was impressive on D.

    21 points at home is a hiding, and the Chiefs have dominated the second half. Can't remember the last time the Crusaders copped it at home like this.

    Chiefs forwards have owned the breakdown.

    One might think that the coaches and squad were distracted, perhaps?

    Similar to the Highlanders win in Christchurch in 2021. That was 33-12

    I was going to pick the Chiefs to win but chose my head over my heart for my picks but not all bad got money back off the TAB.

    Great 2nd 40 by the Chiefs...

    Plenty of players stepped up

    Did they have Mo'unga and Taylor playing that day? They are missing Whitelock, but I'm surprised that they haven't been able to get much going with the talent they had out there.

    Edit: To answer my question, it looks like they all played that day.

    entertaining first game... not many would have picked the margin.

    BBBR and Stevenson with Cane, Webber & Ioane (he has it in him but so rarely produces it) were particularly good.

    Am picking ball security will be a work on from both teams.

    I wasn't particularly impressed with Moungas game tonight.

    Stevenson has been brilliant tonight.

    As has DMac.

    A difference in the 2nd half is the chiefs started winning their lineout

    Didn't catch much of the game but stoked to hear Brodie had a big game. Boy do the ABs need him firing this year.

    That was an amazing performance by the Chiefs.

    They look stacked this year.

    If Stevenson can play like that every week he'll be hard to keep out of black.

    Just what the comp needed to kick off this year.

    @No-Quarter Best game since super rugby 2019. Not just physical but consistently involved in the right places.

    They both played. It was close to the top side

    So 3 games and three loses for the Crusaders so far. But only one that matters.

    Great result for SRP. Excellent 2nd half from the Chiefs.

    Well fellas, I believe that's what you call super rugby! Geez that was a bloody good game. Thought O'Keeffe reffed well and kept game at fast pace too. I bet there some tired sore bodies down there!
