Crusaders v Chiefs

[hydro11]

Can someone enlighten me why the Chiefs picked their ABs for this game? I get that you don't want four losses in a row but surely this is a game you just give up on after last week? Hurricanes (H), Bulls (A) and Jaguares (A) are all winnable. Then you have the bye and Blues and Lions at home. You could easily win 4 of those 5 with your top team playing.

The younger good one I assume?

[Tim]

@Nepia Yep.

Glad to see that the chiefs are looking for world Peace with the most Passive defence ever.

Also Scott Barrett had been in the side half a dozen times

So how much credit goes to Razor and O'Gara? Interested to hear what O'Gara is like as a coach.

I will be reaching for a tissue soon

First time I've really seen Jordan play. Oozes class. Could well be a bolter for the RWC.

@Nepia is Messam in the squad?

This could be a cricket score by the end. The Crusaders look set to score more than the West Indies did yesterday.

I’ll sound more flippant than I intend; but losing this by 100+ would have derailed the season beyond repair. They aren’t doing it as they speak, but I think the coaches had to give the team the best chance of putting in a performance to hold their heads higher.

Which mans little when Aliamalo makes a break and passes it to the tea lady.

Goodhues mullet is coming along nicely

[chimoaus]

Is Jordans pace deceiving, almost seems slo mo when running.

[Tim]

That Alaimalo break and pass was vintage late period Blues rugby.

[Chris B.]

Shit - I thought the Chiefs at $4.90 to win was good value.

I'm starting to think I should have done a bit more research before investing ten bucks in an insurance bet!

[mariner4life]

Check that. Make it 70

The thought gives me warm feels

Fucking this. With the bulldozer from Wellington on the bench. Loving our midfield options right now.

The biggest food bill in rugby: Colin Cooper.

No.

Mitchell Brown is no loss.
