I think the score line flattered the Chiefs.

What a wonderful day for ALL New Zealanders. The most dominant Super Rugby performance in history from the greatest Super Rugby team in history, New Zealand's team, THE AUCKLAND BLUES.
Scott Robertson you are on notice. You will ignore these players at your peril.
Scott should take no notice of this one game or this win. It's more important to access players when the Blues lose or are under pressure. Not against a team who were poor even if a final

Patrick Tuipulotu comes of age as a captain leading by example.
Akira Ioane demonstrates the type of game we've been missing in a blindside now he was given the chance to play tight. What a monumental disaster he's leaving New Zealand now.
The improvement of Ricky Riccitelli and Marcel Renata over this year has been amazing.
Rieko Ioane demonstrating the maturity and selflessness in his game as New Zealand's preeminent centre.
Find of the season I place with Lam who has shown the type of game the All Blacks are looking for at 12.
And the Movie of the Week story is Harry Plummer. Provided the opportunity to get time in the saddle at 10 he's grown into the role and in a series of big pressure games established he has the skillset and temperament to direct a team around the park. The sort of low error game suited to Test rugby. -

Rieko Ioane 1000x better than any other centre in NZ. Clearly the best in the world. The doubters are clinically retarded.
I'm clinically retarded, great when he had a dominated team in front of him. And barely in top 5 in the world

I really can't imagine an AB coaching team NOT notice how shut out all the Chiefs forwards were. That was a masterclass.
-
Forward masterclass, I loved it

Titles from Wish do not count
That's like hanging preseason banners
You know you were right. I apologise the Trans Ta$man title didn’t count

Razor will have quite a few cross outs.
I doubt it in the circumstances
Chiefs were poor. Easy to look great when there's almost no pressure and opposition is playing poorly
They weren't allowed too be good
My view is the Chiefs just had a game when the players didn't front. It happens at times. We've all seen team who play like crap one week (Chiefs this game) and play like a different team the next or previous week
Some players are great in a winning team. We want ABs who look great in losing or close games. Blues performances in this game should also be ignored.

Mani house the stroller off play serious into the surf Jesus though, that's RWC winning rugby

I do wonder if the ABs chose the best blues coach.

@Nepia Yeah, they put a lot into that semi last week and it was always going to be an uphill task going to Eden Park with a glaring weakness that happens to be the Blues strength, the tight 5.
Gotta give it to the Chiefs, they played out of their skin to get this far.
