[@JeeTee_]

This made my day seeing the boys play well! So happy that DMAC is back in the roster and amazing performance from his conversions and from the team in general! Cheers Waikato love from America! 🇳🇿😁

[@MrK1ngi]

Huge difference with the speed up from the ref's. More running rugby and tired bodies which means more gaps. Could be a huge positive sign for the better for rugby in general. There was barely any scrums and no "water breaks". Fans want to watch running rugby not stop start rubbish..

[@Corcioch]

Scrum is a vital part of the game and always has been. That Rugby League shite has less if one wants that rubbish, Union was always about more

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

And the scrum that collapsed was play on due to ball being available! Excellent. No reset

[@MeanAzz_13]

Though I agree bro love watching running rugby, but maybe it's our undoing, when the North historically favor a Forward dominated game and it shows our lack of dominance when we play them, especially of recent times. The trick is to Master both sides of the game n be a well balanced side like we used to be,so like the *A.B side of 96.*

[@zabaleta66]

Agree with most of that but sometimes tight games with hard scrummaging can be absorbing and entertaining.

[@billbonnington7916]

the Bokke whiners won't like it....

[@up2cuzz]

Well played Chiefs! Crusaders fan here, and it hurts a little seeing the lads lose at home haha but it’s an easy loss to take when we were beat fair and square👏🏽 until next time, Chiefs💪🏽💯

[@tirahuks1]

Richie Mounga has no left foot kicking game. Chiefs targeted shutting down his right like the Sprinkboks did, forcing him to pass or take contact, limiting the crusaders (and ABs) attack options.

Doesn't look like the Chiefs will be missing Garland as head coach!
