Chiefs v Crusaders Super Rugby Rnd 3

[waiopehu oldboy]

Chiefs showing utter contempt for our D by taking the lineout & why not? We're tackling like Aucklanders out there. Relieving penalty & we try to run it out of our own 22. WTF. Turned over & looks like bonus point try Chiefs. Confirmed.

Cruden misses (from the sideline), 33-16. Game over but still 16 on the clock. Oh FFS, Taylor carries it over the touchline, all he had to do was catch it with 1 foot out its our throw way back upfield. This is getting really, really off-pissing.

Lowe with the runaway try off yet another fucking turnover. I'm now clinging to the fact that whomsoever wins the first Chiefs v Crusaders match each year loses the 2nd.......

40-16.

Sigh.

More meat for Waikato.

Tribe 40 CruSadists 14. Going to get worse.

68 minutes.

We're tackling like Aucklanders out there.

The Tron isn't really that far from Auckland.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Sigh.

I'm feeling a little more like these guys:

The Tron isn't really that far from Auckland.

Christchurch is, though.

 

[TOCC]

is SBW still on, he's my fantasy team captain

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Just a penalty, ref. Lifted him past the horizontal then let him go, didn't go through with it or drive him into the ground. Ref & TMO say YC, yay we get to play the last 2 minutes 15 on 14.

Siren goes, misery over.

 

[TOCC]

wow, how many injuries were there in this match?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Didn't live up to the billing of the Game of the Round.

The Tribe were far too good for a laxative CruSadists and they cruised to their victory.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Really, really, really piss-poor effort from my guys, said earlier in the week I wasn't sure we could beat the Chiefs at home this early in the season but never expected such an awful performance. Started well then just seemed to go missing & generally fail to stay in the game when the Chiefs ramped it up.

1/3 isn't where we need to be going into the Bye & SA trip. I know we came back from a similar position last year but FFS, you can't rely on that kinda lightning striking twice.

 

[Marcelo]

No doubts, the Chiefs are the main challengers so far

The Chiefs look to have an attack that few, if any, teams can match, nor even get close to. The Brumbies defence thus far seems the best organised. The obvious early call is that these two teams will duke it out. The Chiefs against the Crusaders just went to overdrive on attack seemingly at will. Very, very impressive.
