New Zealand Super Rugby side the Chiefs got their 2024 campaign off to the perfect start in round one as they defeated perennial champions the Crusaders 33- - 29.
Front and centre for the Chiefs were backrow Luke Jacobson and flyhalf Damian McKenzie.
Leading from the front, Captain Jacobson kept his team on task with exceptional leadership whilst McKenzie supplied his usual box of tricks, including an early try-of-the-season contender.
