Crusaders strike first in 2nd half, 19-27, mind you, the final pass looked like a bath player had thrown it.... :smt002

I would have him in a heartbeat, the knowledge he must have picked up at Racing and Crusaders would be invaluable.

JP14 feels he’s over rated though, so will never happen :smt017
I'm surprised JP14 knows who this O'Gara fellow is, isn't he a bit before his time :smt002

Chiefs go almost the full length of the pitch - offloads galore

Is it a try? is it a knock on? On field call is knock on - they think....yep, knock on

Scrum 5 for Crusaders and they destroy the chiefs scrum, penalty.

Crusaders' replacement hooker Funnell needs some throwing practice - awful, like watching Tigers' lineouts at times :smt002

Chiefs' try! Some line break and the acceleration from Stevenson on Crusaders' 10m line was brilliant.

Chiefs 33 - 27 Crusaders

Full Time Chiefs 40-27 Crusaders

Nothing really to report on Taufua, name only mentioned once after he came on.

After 29 mins Crusaders were 20-0 up in this game.

JP14 feels he’s over rated though, so will never happen :smt017
I said as a player, he could be a great coach.
