Form with Chiefs, Crusaders in lore
Bangkok Post
|June 20, 2025
Damian McKenzie and the Waikato Chiefs are hoping it will be third time lucky when they face off against the mighty Canterbury Crusaders in another all-New Zealand Super Rugby Pacific final in Christchurch tomorrow.
-
The All Blacks fly-half has been on fire leading an explosive backline behind a rugged pack this year as the Chiefs set the pace in the competition and made the title decider for the third straight season.
The last two finals, however, ended in the bitterness of defeat — in 2023 to the Crusaders and last year to the Auckland Blues — to leave this generation of Chiefs without a title to add to the two won by Dave Rennie’s team in 2012 and 2013.
Clayton “Donk” McMillan has been the architect of the Hamilton-based franchise's success since the end of the Covid pandemic but he will take charge for the last time tomorrow before heading off to Irish province Munster.
“We've got a lot to play for and a lot of motivation,” McKenzie said this week.
