| | | Blow by Blow | | 82 | Sam Whitelock knocks the ball in midfield and the Chiefs are through to the final! Absolute chaos at the Waikato Stadium. | | 81 | The Chiefs have now been defending on their 22 for about four minutes without a Saders break or cenceding a penalty. Hooter is long gone. | | 77 | Missed Penalty - The Chiefs are again caught playing the scrumhalf behind a ruck and Carter will have a shot at goal, two metres past the halfway line. The kick is short and the Chiefs hang on by the skin of their teeth. Three minutes left. | | 72 | The Chiefs are caught behind the advantage line and Crotty half-intercepts a ball, but he knocks in the process, meaning the Chiefs will have a scrum on halfway. | | 67 | Missed Penalty - Another kick of about 55m on the angle for Cruden. He strikes it well but he hits the crissbar and it bounces away. | | 66 | Kerr-Barlow is caught slapping a ball out of Ellis' hands and Joubert awards the penalty on halfway. Carter finds touch inside the Chiefs 22, but the Chiefs do well to win a turnover. | | 62 | Penalty - Carter slots a penalty from close to the right-hand touchline. Only three points in this now. | | 60 | The replacements are coming on thick and fast here now. Some fresh legs needed for what is bound to be a furious last quarter to this match. | | 56 | Nanai-Williams claims a weak kick and runs it up. He chips it over the defence, but he can't get the ball back. The Saders desperately find the touchline from deep inside their 22. | | 50 | Penalty - Cruden undoes some of the damage as he slots a penalty himself. | | more |
