And with 14 men, the Drua drive their fans wild with a successful drop goal to take the points.

Chiefs ahead 21-0 at HT, and the Highlanders potentially down to 14 men for the second half...

Yep, I expect that to be upgraded to a RC. Clan guilty of white line fever when on attack

Clan make a liar of me by scoring twice in the last few minutes, Chiefs lead only 7 points now with two mins left.

Well done, Chiefs. Made hard work of it in the 2nd half, but the conditions weren't exactly ideal tbf.

Game of the round up next: Blues hosting the Saders at Eden Park.

I just can't imagine the Saders going 0-5. Shirley there's an unwritten law of nature against it happening??

Great lineout maul defense, pushing the Orcs back and when the maul collapses, Orcs get the penalty. Seemed a bit harsh

Our scrum is looking strong but the lineout sucks

I generally hate when people ask if a player is the new [insert big name here]…

But I have to ask, is Sotutu the new Tuipolutou?

I'm surprised the Saders don't seem to have worked out how to use Aumua, who offers devastating power in the midfield. He could be featuring in every move but he's not seeing it.

Sticking with the short lineout is obviously stupid. Perhaps it's inexperience from Havili as captain and not having old heads around him but on a night that calls for patience and putting the small efforts into getting some control, they're looking to force it and coming unstuck. You don't so much expect that from the Blues but it's not a total surprise when it happens.

Shame to see Zarn go down, I hope he recovers from that quickly. Perofeta is looking more and more settled at 10 which is great.

You hardly hear Aumua's name at all

Get some of whatever the Blues took at HT and give some to the Crusaders

among all the stupid, could I just point out that after acknowledging the issue at HT, the Saders stuck with the short line out.

How many advantage calls can you get away with before you get another card?

The bench has delivered for the Saders so far

We must be challenging the record for both penalties conceded and advantage calls before YC
