Crusaders v Hurricanes

[taniwharugby]

pretty good game really, 9-9 at half time and probably a fair reflection, Hurricanes made a few more genuine breaks but Crusaders tidied them up.

COuld TJ have been pinged for kicking out at the ball on MOunga?

[Crash]

@KiwiMurph Agreed. It;s like the Saders have said "Damn the torpedoes, everyone expects us to be tired after the SA journey but fark that we're gonna give 'em hell"

[KiwiMurph]

@Crash Yeah when you look at the respective tight 5s on paper its not surprise Saders are dominating there. I've been really impressed with their defensive energy and really giving Barrett x 2 little space.

I think the Crusaders will win if the game stays as tight as it has been.

[KiwiMurph]

Nisbo mixing up Tamanivalu with Samu - nice to see he's in mid season form
...

[hydro11]

Man Savea's defence has been shocking tonight. I know he can make up for it on the other end of the field but there is no excuse for a read like that.

[taniwharugby]

classic...thats the 22m line....as the camera is showing the big "22"

[taniwharugby]

reckon Drummond coulda had the base of the posts there

[taniwharugby]

great drive off the lineout there by Crusaders to pick up the first try.

Bit sad watching Cory Jane - a shadow of himself in his prime. Also Canes badly miss Proctor - Aso is not a centre.

He runs very hot and cold now. When he's cold he sucks balls.

Should stick Aso on the wing and put Jordie in midfield.

[Tordah]

I'll never understand quick taps and then immediately kicking the ball into touch

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Canes getting reamed in the tight. Saders pack too good.

Unless BB pulls something out of his arse, I think we're done.

I bet Justin Marshall said that.
He's so helpful.

[Hooroo]

This is a wicked game of rugby.

No doubt about it, one of these two teams will win the title this year

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Wtf?

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Put Jordie back in the lineout. At least he won one. How many have they lost now? At least 5.

[gt12]

Hurricanes line out has lost them their chances in this game.

[Donsteppa]

One phase advantage from a knock on and Nisbett calls it the longest knock on advantage in history?

His shadow would be better than Goosen atm
