Tony Johnson: Chiefs Edge Canes, Drua Stun Brumbies, Black Ferns Click

That was one of those Super Rugby weekends where the table shifted, the pressure cranked up, and nobody got to hide. We get into the Chiefs’ statement win over the Hurricanes in Hamilton, why Damian McKenzie’s influence mattered so much late, and what golden point does to the blood pressure. Then it’s on to the Drua pulling off one of the biggest away wins the comp’s seen, the Crusaders looking vulnerable again, and the Blues doing enough before nearly leaving the back door open. We also finish on the Black Ferns, with Whitney Hansen’s first big marker as coach. The result over Canada mattered, but so did the way it happened. More structure, more control, and a performance that looked like a side with a clear plan. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
