Crusaders coach Scott Robertson says it was a minor hamstring issue which left Jack Goodhue out of tonight's game, is unsure if he'll be right for the first test

Chiefs coach Colin Cooper says it's a pectoral injury for Brodie Retallick. Unsure how serious at this stage. Just cramp for Karl Tu'inukuafe. Said Sam Cane could probably have played if it was a final, for instance
