yeah match of the round, super rugbys greatest franchise vs the super rugby champions, epic epic titanic battle.

looking at the leaderboard and given how important home advantage is during finals time, im cheering for the chiefs to help their top of the table cause.

good luck to both teams though, :o)

 Crusties up against it largely due to travel. wee chiefies though have looked very suspect. soft pack and weak scrum.Retardlack is back so IQ drops but lets see how he goes.
If chiefies lose this the are in trouble.Go crusties.

interesting match ups,,,

front row advantage crusaders

2nd row advantage tied

loosies advantage chiefs

halves pairing advantage tied

centers advantage crusaders

outside backs advantage tied

bench advantage chiefs

damn, tied at a two a piece,

Positive Beeno as usual lol.

No crude this week - An scombe not bad though.

@beeno,

where is retallick back from???

u do know he was playing last week????

tehehehehehehehe, bever to early to be in stupid in SA aye??? u neeed more iron in ur diet, ur all vege lifestyle is slowing ur already small brain,

is jporfdan payne related to jared payne by any chance, they look a little alike.

I thought it was jarrad payne! what happened to him hes a great player .

3-0 to the crusadetrs.

 chiefies penalised twice in arow. Cant use hands to get ball back oaks. Crusties go 3 points up!

 Bean Brain we all know yr a big Chiefs fan...Go the Mighty Chiefs...

 

...Their biggest challenge this year thus far against what is virtually an All Black team brimming with confidence after demolishing the best South Africa could throw at them...which does'nt say much really

 

 

...Chiefs missing the Thomas Edison of Super Rugby, the creative genius Aaron Cruden but you gots ta work with what ya gots ta work with...

 Big sc rum by chiefies!!!

@lucky luke,

he went overseas, to an  irish club i think.

if he couldnt get into the All Blacks with that form, better he go overseas like he did.

he would have been considered a demi god if he was a saffa, but those peeps rarely see good backs.

i seem to recall somet hing along the lines he might be elgible to play for one of the 6 nat teams,,,,

crockett and owne franks are reeally giving the chiefs grief.

chiefs dont wanna trail the crusaders, thats just bad news brown.

6-0 to the crusaders.

IMO heinze is NZs 3rd best halfback.

good ol retallick, worlds best lock easy peasy.

 Sorry saSUE but I dont take too much note of retardlack. The commentatos on Boots and All were speaking of him coming back from concussion. Probably was hit hard by some opposition scrummie. hahahahhaSome handbags stuff - Crocket sorting the chiefies out.

another perfect example of the rolling maul infringments.

chiefs joining in from  the side which is technically illegal, but cos they have the ball, the ref lets it slide.

saffas are the masters of it still, but once NZ becomes well versed in the rolling maul dark arts, the NZ rugby empire will continue to be unstoppable.

 Retardlack is bog ordinary.
Chiefies penalised again. 
Go crusties!!!

 ...Must win for the Crusties as they're leaving their run late and Chiefs will still be top NZ franchise regardless of the result...

 

...some interesting player selections from Blackadder though with Ellis benched and Whitelock dropped...can understand him replacing him with a Counties player though...

 

Papakura homeboy Kieren Reid the dangerman to watch also...

thats ok brother beeno, saffas arent known for their smarts, just look at the majority of the posters here, malema and PDV,

and he was out cos of a head collision with ben afeaki his own player, nasty crash but he was only out a week.

any idea when fragile lady elizabeth returns back after giving birth to his first food baby???
hes been out for quite a while like the weakling we all know he is,

silly little error that, chiefs need to be ontop of their game, against the crusaders, the one percenters count big time.

 Down comes the rain. Will this favour the crusties.

dagg looks hurt, not good news for the crusaders, they need all their big guns to maintain an 80minute performance.

 Dagg looks crocked.Game will depend on how crusties cope in the second half. Will travel kick in?

geln jacksons a touchie??? o_O

glad its not a saffa game, a former chiefs player as a amtch official in chiefs game would force the saffa crybabay brigrade to self implode, lolz,

 Hi guys. Finally got back to watch the game.

 

So saders are ahead by 6 & teaming rain.

 

Go Chiefs!

chiefs are doing little niggly stuff to get under the crusaders skin, and it looks like itss workiung.

crusaders should know better though, and if they fall for it, they have no one to blame but themselves.

hi dr win, :o)

 Canterbury stalwart Hansen must be hoping for a big game from Slade otherwise Anscombe may have to be considered as an understudy for AB at 10 given the lack of form from Tom Taylor....

 Chiefs did the same thing last year. You would think the Saders would ignore it.

squire got kinocked the fudge out.

was it legal??? o_O

shoulder tackle and yellow card IMO.

 Should be a penalty. Maybe a yellow.

yup, good call from the ref.

 That will change the game.

 Bird gets yellow. Bit harsh I think.  

9-6 to the crusaders.

 Squire can't even stand up. No way he should pass the concussion test.

 Chiefs are pouring through.  Reed is down.
