Fair play to Mackenzie for not playing the ref and coming straight back to his feet without causing a fight! Respect

[@justinferizaj2203]

Gotta feel for mckenzie after being so consistent with his kicking the whole season and then missing those 2

[@blaquenguni9249]

It's called choking under pressure.

[@fabricemonnier4388]

Actually he missed 3

[@Nellyspence]

@@blaquenguni9249 clutch kick last week to put them into final

[@randyschwaggins]

He just lost his AB 15 Jersey

[@fabricemonnier4388]

Well to me Mckenzie is a fantastic player and they did not loose because of him. He misses 3 kicks yes, but explain me why he has to kick the penalty after receiving a tackle in the air ? Aren't there any other kicker in the team ? To me they were also poor tactical choices in 2e half...why don't they score more with 15 men against 13 ? Anyway I am thankfull for this final and all players, again it was a great show and a great display of NZ rugby

@Jacobite Jones you weren't complaining when he came on and turned the tide against the Boks in 2017.

[@Olivierstreet]

@Jacobite Jones Nah mate. He's been finding nuts since high school, it's well documented. I'm a Saders fan but Damian had to be Richie, Havili and Will Jordan all at the same time for the Chiefs. He's the reason they even made it to the final.

[@markcourtney2205]

No but the ref could be seen to have saved the Crusaders..lots of stuff that they got away with in final that im sure the chiefs would not have gotten away with if they'd done likewise.Still a great game no matter what the result.

Great final, definitely worth watching here in South Africa. Concrats to a great team The Crusaders! The Saders do seem to get a lot more out of the ref or maybe they are just that good? Wonder if Mackenzie played himself out of AB selection? He did well all season.

Mackenzie was superb in this final, he did more than any other Chiefs player to keep them in the game. Why do you think he has played himself out of selection for the ABs?

Should've been a red for that shot in the air. Landing safely should not be a mitigating factor if the tackler does nothing to ensure it.

[@erqwerwwer]

Saders lucky again with 2 cards that could easily have gone red. Reece is starting low and actually rising fast to hit high. It is not even reckless, it is intentional.

[@asadok7452]

The Crusaders are such an amazing side, culture, history etc. Wayne Smith started all this.

[@persianbeast8977]

Défense monumental, conquête dominatrice , dangereux avec la balle... mais alors tellement de pénalité !!! Et merci Mackenzie au passage ;)

[@tomstuppence605]

3 talking points from this game: 1. Sevu Reece should have been a red, shoulder to the head is red, its been made clear the way referees have been officiating all over the world that that sort of tackle is now a red. Poor refereeing. 2. Mo'unga is on another plane of existence 3. The main reason the Chiefs are even in the final is because of Mackenzie, he can hold his head up high even though he didn't have a great game.

[@agostinonigro8427]

Agree with 2 & 3. Not with one. This interpretation of the rule is tricherous. If you aim with the head against the shoulder or the arm of a player already set for a tackle, he can't avoid the impact. High tackles need to be high, you need to have the intention to hit the upper side of the ball carrier.

[@rishideo8185]

Damian McKenzie is gem of a player. No body should blame him.its all in the game.

[@Olivierstreet]

First contact is shoulder on shoulder and when the arms wrap around, they hit the head.

[@kipronokosgei4707]

I see a lot of people here talking about the bad calls they think the chiefs didn’t get, but the loss was all the chiefs fault. They didn’t want to win the game bad enough. The were relying on Dmac to win it for them in stead of going for line outs when the crusaders were down to 13. And kicking the ball away when they could have attacked with ball in hand when up by two players.

[@freddieroberts2420]
