The Chiefs are going into the Super Rugby Aotearoa final with a nothing-to-lose attitude.
The Chiefs are embracing the underdog tag and a nothing-to-lose attitude as they look to re-write the history books in Saturday night’s Super Rugby Aotearoa final.
On what has been a rollercoaster 10-week campaign, which began with successive losses and a record-equalling 11-game losing streak, then saw five consecutive heart-in-the-mouth wins to book a spot in the decider with a week to spare, the Chiefs now have their chance at a fairytale finish.
Standing in their way, though, is all the might of the Crusaders, in their fortress of Christchurch, and it’s going to take some never-before-seen effort to trump the champs in this first-ever Kiwi comp decider.
