Crusaders v Highlanders (QF)

[Stockcar86]

Is there wind favoring the Crusaders in the first half?

[gt12]

My goodness, the landers just kick it away when they get some territory, then lose it, then Nahoko makes a terrible clearance.

@Stockcar86 smithy saying the wind is not favouring either side but going across the field.

[taniwharugby]

@Stockcar86 was supposed to be blowing across the pitch but one of Daggs kicks looked to get the wind pick it up

[Stockcar86]

Thanks - watching with the ref mic alternate commentary

[Tim]

Crusaders pack really getting on top.

Has anyone seen Squire since he came back on?

[Billy Tell]

So if you're a Highlander and your life depending on telling the truth...

Did the Crusaders score there?

[gt12]

Think the saders got screwed there. Probably evens out the first one.

[Hooroo]

That's fucking bullshit. That should have have been 'any reason I can't give the try'

[Hooroo]

Good fucking job.

Good try

Fuck it! Go the crusaders!!!

Probably more than they legally scored their first.

That doesn't exist any more. Sooooo 2016.

It's onfield decision: try vs no try in ref's opinion.

HIghlanders look like a bunch of dudes that arrived in Christchurch on a row boat at 1pm....

[Wreck Diver]

@Stockcar86 You lucky man I don't have that option in the UK.

[Bovidae]

You can't win without the ball.

The Crusaders do get away with players being in "interesting" positions in some drives.

Fair dinkum? Can they not ask that now?

[Bones]

Fuck Aaron Smith off, bring on the young lad. Smith's own players must be wanting to punch his nose, kick some sense into him. What are all these stupid, pointless kicks that have crept into quite a few top NZ players games this year?

[KiwiMurph]

Highlanders are not built to play in these conditions.

On the flip side they get to base their game around knowing all their home games will be played on fast tracks so it is swings and roundabouts.

[gt12]

@Bones

Exactly. When those were contestable kicks, they had meaning, but right now they are just going to Saders. Plus, the chase is shit too.had they focused on working for territory, I think they'd still be losing, but would have got some points out of that half.

Why do people think this?
