    That was very very hard work.

    If we have lost Dmac for an extended timeframe, we will not be going anywhere - Stevenson looks like half the player he is where they just shovel ball to him and hope he’ll do something.

    Also really showed up our lack of depth - LCF and Tupou are two examples of players who just aren’t good enough for this level.

    Stevensons kicking is so valuable from fullback.

    Agreed, but he needs Dmac there to get his / our positioning right, plus we have no counter attack without Dmac out there holding defenders

    Well done Chiefs

    Super rugby still not a great product

    Commentators still painful

    Berry still one of my least favorite officials - that said I liked him calling for the ball to be used so quickly.

    Well I’m a neutral in that I hate both teams, and I enjoyed that game. Not sure what else you could ask for, that was a fun game, good trys, massive hits.

    Not sure McLeod and Levi are going to be that dominant going forward.

    Bit samey and not very involved.

    @chimoaus be better having Crotty at 12 and one if them outside him.

    Very tempting.

    I will say that try to Roe in the first half was pure gold though.

    McLeod might be a better winger.

    Havili is back soon too (next week?). I’d be tempted to find room for him and Crotty somehow

    I thought that game was great for an opener - contrast in styles, great intensity and a close finish. Plenty of mistakes but that added to the drama.

    Yeah, the ball seemed to be in play a lot, and the pace was high. More please.

    That game felt like Super Rugby of old. Well played by both teams.

    I wonder why Parker warmed the bench for such a long time. He came in at the 75th minute. It's very odd since the Chiefs forwards needed more fresh legs in the second spell.

    Can't see Lio-Willie being kept out of the starting 15 for too long. Workhorse for the Crusaders in the 2nd-half.

    @Old-Samurai-Jack agreed, Gardiner was rubbish in that first half.

    @Machpants same, i thought Reihanas first start of Super Rugby level has been great. First game of the season amd hes performed well. Doesnt help when he has big shoes to fill

    So good to watch a game without all the stoppages.
