    I hate how hard it is to get kickoff times to super rugby games. I've seen at least 3 variants on when the semis are. Would be nice to be able to plan my weekend around it. Would be a good start if the official sanza site wasn't as bad as their administration

    Worlds greatest coach Dave Rennie gives you a clear advantage in one area 🙂

    Or has that changed now you don't have Wayne smith?

    urrr. two things. one he's a shit ref. two ex players are normally harsher on their side.

    is it just me or has Jacko gotten a very easy ride to the upper echelons of refs without actually being a very good ref?

    loving the massive muffin he's developing along with him going bald tho

    Man you've been whiny lately, the pressure of breaking the 8 year drought seems to be getting to you ;). (Wayne Smith was around for all those other losing seasons as well by the way ....)

    It's because there's no Aussie team in the final. Who else would they give it to? Hoffman?

    Got the fast track alright. He is the price WR paid to show a pathway for ex-players into becoming refs.

    No you aren't. Steve Walsh left so much credit in the Cantab region that other refs are still trying to claw it back.

    Despite the ref, may the best side win.

    Failing that, then the Crusaders will.

    Just when you're feeling sympathetic to the Cantabs their true bitter nature reasserts itself and balance returns to the world ...

    Bunch of precious cry babies.

    One throwaway comment about Rennie and you all jump in like dogs chasing a ball. Proud Hurricanes Chiefs supporter Nepia leading the charge all the way from Sydney. (probably over a flat white and almond croissant at some poncy cafe)

    but, but, but.... Steve Walsh, Colin Hawke.

    but, but, but... Wayne Smith is from Waikato.

    jesus fuck but it's tiring waiting for Canterbury to catch up with the rest of the world.

    It's a fucking cold brew coffee with smashed avo (thus ensuring he can't buy a house).

    To be fair. Nepia's inner city has cafés. Sammy's has rubble.

    The rain is back today, supposed to bucket down for the next 2 days. With a chance of snow to low levels

    We've pretty much had our entire annual rainfall already.

    Clearing on Saturday, but cold.. After the hammering it took last week it will be a very slippery surface.

    BNZ Crusaders team to play the Chiefs in semi-final

    The same BNZ Crusaders side that beat the Highlanders in the Investec Super Rugby quarter-final last weekend will attempt to do the same with the Chiefs in Saturday night's semi-final clash.
    
    It is the third time in Super Rugby history that these two teams have faced off in a semi-final, and the Chiefs have come our the victors on both of those previous occasions.  But BNZ Crusaders Head Coach Scott Robertson says this is a different time and different circumstances.
    
    "They used their homeground advantage on those occasions, but this time we have earned the chance to play in front of our own supporters and that means a lot to us.  To see so many of our supporters still come out to the game last weekend in such miserable conditions was humbling, so that is even more motivation for the team to put on a performance to make the fans proud this Saturday night," Robertson said.
    
    Kick-off is at 7:35pm this Saturday night at AMI Stadium, Christchurch, and tickets are available from www.ticketdirect.co.nz or the Ticket Direct app.
