Crusaders vs. Hurricanes

@pukunui Shirley it's not just those two. Jordie over George, Skudder over Havili, TJ over Hall, Laumape over Bateman, Fiftia over Samu. It's bullshit. When will the All Black coaches wake up and pick an all Crusaders team again. I guess the real slap in the face was picking JTA over that reserve prop from Sydneyham.

@mn5 I was at Eden Park for the 2003 final, Caleb Ralph had the dropsies and Marshall was on the field. There is no moral highground.
It's ok knowing Caleb he woulda busted out something dynamic to change the match....
Aw hang on....

Seems one wet weather master class vs an inept canes team has made all the scribes give the Saders the title already. Memories of goldfish those lot. I'm not saying Saders aren't looking good but the Shit NZ Rugby Scribes poll is there for a reason

Phil Gifford certainly got some good material for the wank bank that's for sure.

Can’t win them all....

Lam looked like the Lam prior to the Canes. Too cool for school. Not a good look the last couple of weeks.
JTA was really good I thought.
Laumape started off all guns blazing then went quiet.
Ardie some nice show pony runs but not much else.
Jordie way better in the centres than fullback.

@mn5 Um Ihaia West was FAAAR worse.
And while you mention it Ralph's 76th minute try after 3 over the line had been denied by the ref put us back in it, but hometown refereeing etc...
Checkout Hammett's 2 tries in the first half.
Geez @Bones and you think I live in the past....

They're in general consensus. And they're all wrong?

Talked to Jason Ryan at the Sydenham game today. He said the forwards were really fired up to go and prove a point especially over Shields and Savea. And that Quentin Strange was going to be a future star.
Shields and Savea? What is the story there?
I'm guessing:
- Shields has been getting publicity. In Cantab land that makes him a show pony. Especially if they don't rate him.italicised text
- Savea because Matt Todd.
Or maybe they wanted to make a point given he's about to make his international debut, as I'm sure any NZ loosie(s) would want to vs any international loose forwards they came up against.

@act-crusader Should we allow the prodigal son Brodie to be on the bench - or stick with Luke Romano?
We're getting closer to your dream. Drums need to beat more loudly for Bryn Hall!

I fuckin love Bryn Hall
Word on the street is that Drummond feels a bit miffed by his lack of starts.
Needs to play better when he's got the reins.
Also should have stayed at Ta$man....!!!

It must be hard to stomach being behind Bryn Hall in the rankings.
@Chris-B Leave Retallick in the not selected rather than sullying his reputation in the ACT's Canta-blacks ... he's not a prodigal son, he didn't waste his abilities when he went away, quite the opposite, the Mighty Magpies helped build them and now he's the unstoppable force we all love

He’s hardly taken his opportunities when given a start.

@Nepia A bit strangely, Mitch's father has been a big wheel in the Ta$man rugby union and is also a part-owner of the Highlanders - but, Mitch ran straight to Canterbury and the Crusaders when he left Nelson College. Maybe he didn't want to be perceived as Dad getting him a job or maybe he just had his eye on the main chance.
But, the real reason I've posted that article is so you can read again about the Thieving Magpies and the Mighty Kahn!
It's so well known that Rossini wrote an opera about it!
La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie).
