Saw that Blackadder made 29 tackles in the match, with Lio-Willie making 20.

SF2 kicking off shortly in Kirikiriroa.

Nervous as hell about this one. Thought the Brumbies were very good against the Canes last week.

Go, Chiefs!

No Australian side has ever won a playoff match in NZ, currently 0 - 18

Bloody hell!!!

Really dumb from the Chiefs players here, running into a melee with no justification… are they going to let emotion rule the day?

Posted: **Sat Jun 14, 2025 7:45 am**

Love seeing the steam from the forwards on a cold night in the Tron

Chiefs ahead 19-12 at HT.

Some good field kicking by both sides, with the Brumbies winning the territorial duel.

DMac's goalkicking flawless so far.

Posted: **Sat Jun 14, 2025 8:12 am**

Weak tackle there by DMac

Posted: **Sat Jun 14, 2025 8:14 am**

Miles offside for the charge down.

Posted: **Sat Jun 14, 2025 8:27 am**

DMac still kicking brilliantly

Posted: **Sat Jun 14, 2025 8:32 am**

Scoreboard pressure getting to the Brumbies

What's with the constant shitty 'content' being played over the PA?

Posted: **Sat Jun 14, 2025 8:38 am**

THat made up for the missed tackle.

No offsides tonight

It's an embarrassment to hear it over the broadcast like this.

Posted: **Sat Jun 14, 2025 8:53 am**

Chiefs prevail 37-17.

That'll do nicely.

Happy the two best teams get to meet in the Final.

None of the Chiefs contenders did their ABs chances any harm, imho.

Posted: **Sat Jun 14, 2025 9:20 am**

The final should be a cracker of a match as both teams are in fine form. Tupaea is back to his best too.

Just when you thought you didn't need another reason to hate the Saders, they've gone and banned cowbells from the Final.

Home field not enough of an advantage?

Posted: **Tue Jun 17, 2025 9:06 am**

C’mon, they deserve a final without the damned things.
If the Chiefs are good enough they won’t need them and they certainly didn’t help when the Saders came and beat them at home last time they played a final.

Posted: **Wed Jun 18, 2025 2:14 am**

The Great Cowbell Scandal of 2025 will no doubt live on in the memory long after the final score is forgotten...

Posted: **Wed Jun 18, 2025 4:05 am**

The Crusaders squad to play the Final at the cow-bell free stadium this Saturday, Springer replacing Fihaki who is not even in the squad.

A travesty so heinous it led tonight's TV sports news!

Think I'd rather listen to cowbells than the shit they pump out of the PA systems these days, tbh.

Well, you wouldn't hear the cowbells at FMG for the screeching over the PA, as we witnessed when they

ahhh

choked, to the Blues.

You also wouldn't hear them if they played in Wellington, as they're banned there as well. I guess it's just the whole Canterhate thing that obscures these simple, innocent

FACTS

like a room full of trophies. There's a FACT.

As if you can hear them at the stadium in the Tron over the shitty muzak.

What's the bet it's not cowbell free?

Posted: **Wed Jun 18, 2025 11:57 pm**

Yep, word is the Christchurch sleeper cell of the BLA* has been activated for a clandestine Matariki operation...

The Crusaders CEO was on the radio talking about the other day apparently and just told everyone to get a cowbell app on their phones…

They’re enjoying this as much as anyone. Country needs a sense of humour injection.

Am I right in thinking that all of the Saders championships were won with either DC, Mehrts or Richie Mo'unga at 10?

You're correct - a team needs a top Fly Half to win a title??

Cruden was the Chiefs one for it's two titles.

Yep, it helps get the silverware when you've got good'uns like those at 10.

Thought Colin Slade might've been in the mix - he started there quite a bit when DC was injured or on sabbatical, iirc. But maybe that coincided with Todd Blackadder being in charge, and trying to turn him into a wing instead?
