Crusaders v Force

[NTA]

I like Burey - a good player who never got the recognition in Sydney playing club here. A bit of time with the Aussie 7s but never a sniff with the Tahs.

[NTA]

A couple of good structured tries from the Saders, but that margin reflects a couple of freakish bounces and bits of individual talent.

Jeremy Williams was right in the post match: some unforced errors and narrow defence

But the force have had two games now where their defence just hasn't been good enough

[Chris]

Really good game from Ennor he made a big difference getting the wingers in to space.
Springer should keep Fihaki out of the 23 after that performance.

[sparky]

More evidence that while not back to their best or a championship-winning outfit this year, that these Crusaders are a decent side and a helluva lot better than last year's mob.

While the Sith being utter shite was lots of fun, it was a one-season phenomenon.

@NTA Yeah, should have been called back.

Yeah, I know it was only the Force, but ...

Two cameos off the bench but am now a full on fanboi of Ioane Moananu.

Intriguing.

Not accurate nor a kick?

Our bench has been pretty good so far. Some new faces plus experience. Has provided a point of difference in a couple of the games.

How did Scott Barrett go?

[SBW1]

Pretty confident we can get the odd bonus point from our home games and wins on the road will be a bonus. Hopefully we should at least make the finals and not have to sweat on other results like last year. On a positive note we still have a number of guys returning from injury.

Was ok I thought, 2 best locks in NZ so far this year are Holland and Vai'i.

I've really liked what Beehre has brought to the Blues. High work-rate and feel like he should be a regular starter for them.
