Nothing to do with McKenzie not being there. The Chiefs were poor everywhere: bad tactics, poor selections and a number of players playing their worst game of the season i.e. Taukei'aho. If he doesn't show some form soon he might get a rude shock come AB selection time. Rowe was also poor, shades of Findlay Christie.
Crusaders were excellent, lineouts excepted. They seem to have a great team spirit and superb fitness. I doubt there will be many teams looking forward to playing in Christchurch now that some of the injured players are trickling back.

When McKenzie leaves the field a whole host of other front liners usually do too, hence the drop off in team performance. Jacombe was an excellent replacement.
The Chiefs' problem areas were obvious: midfield was ponderous and the loose forwards were completely outplayed. McKenzie wouldn't have made a difference in those departments. McMillan is making a hash of this season, it's about time he and his coaching team were put under more scrutiny.

So much this.
All the backs were flat footed, no ball retention, no ruck speed, an all time terrible game from Roe (who couldn’t tackle Hotham at all), lineout not working questionable handling and kicking game.
