The Chiefs slice the Crusaders defence which allows Nanai-Williams to score under the poles, but the TMO has spotted an obstruction in the lineout by Tameifuna and the Crusaders are awarded a penalty.

Penalty to the Chiefs, Slade not rolling away at the ruck. They opt not to take the points but instead to set up a lineout on the 22m line.

The Chiefs are looking incredibly strong in the scrum, they easily win a tighthead before Cruden puts in a kick for the corner.

The Chiefs gather the ball from the kickoff, but form a maul in contact which causes the ball to die. Scrum to the Crusaders 30m out from the Chiefs tryline.

The teams are on the park, kickoff is seconds away.

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of the Crusaders vs the Chiefs, Live from AMI Stadium Christchurch. The Crusaders look to right the wrongs that saw them go down to the Chiefs by 40-16 in the opening rounds of Super Rugby. With a host of big name players back on the park for the Crusaders, it will surely be a tighter affair. Kieran Read, Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Nemani Naholo and Sam Whitelock among others have found their way back into the team. A late change see's Tom Taylor take the number 15 jersey with Israel Dagg falling out of the match day squad. The Cheifs have had a superb season thus far and find themselves in second position on the overall table. They come into the match fresh from a bye which preceded victories over the Blues and Cheetahs.

cane vs mccaw is a big one and also read vs leitch bcos he has been playing well and colin slade is gonna have a dominating game up against crudan but im questioning putting DC up against SBW
i think that will be a 1 sided collision to the big man

its gonna be a big match after the highlanders beating the crusaders and the chiefs coming of a bye
