Waratahs vs Crusaders
-
Crusaders have probably dropped the ball more tonight than they have over the last season.
-
Crusaders will be sweet. Just one of those games where nothing goes right.

Yep, got all their bad luck in one game.
-
Kick for the bonus point.

@Nepia he needs to start. The guy is class.

Need to get Bridge on that right wing as well.
-
Fuck yes. Made the Crusaders look very average.

Well at least we know how to beat the Crusaders now...
How?
They played really badly, they lost, Tahs didn't win - so how do we beat the saders?
You have to give credit to the Tahs. Their tactics were excellent.
The high bombs worked a treat and they pinned the Crusaders in their own half for basically the whole second half.

@KiwiMurph Yes but normally that would not, at all, stress the saders. Kicking to their back three is normally a stupid thing to do, in fact vs most NZ SR teams it's dumb. But saders were obviously off, I'm going to go out and say that this is a direct result of the shit in CHCH, that was a team that is normally so so good. But they weren't tonight, and (I know the Ozzies are going to poo poo) the Tahs didn't win as much as the saders were totally off - they've been totally off before but never for an entire 80.
-
Obviously the Crusaders were mentally not there tonight, after what must have been a very tough week.
Having to play with 3rd and 4th choice LH prop, Franks out, Barret and Mo'unga rested, and you know things are going to be even more difficult. Wet and slippery conditions did the rest.
It looks like Sanders will be out for a while again. The poor bloke is stringing the awful injuries together.
Both Makalio and Todd with huge eggs under an eye. Can't have seen much during the later stages of the 2nd half.Have never seen so many handling errors from the Crusaders (the Tahs had quite a few, too). Almost all guilty of dropped balls, forward passes and missed tackles.
Havili was by far the best of the Saders.I've seen a lot of Tahs' fans cheering on social media. Think they beat a giant. They didn't. The Tahs weren't that good and the real Crusaders didn't turn up. The Tahs beat their shadow.

@Stargazer Yeah the saders are an awesome team but still human. They'll still win the series tho, and will not at all use the massacre in their home town as an excuse - but it 100% is, especially for those with kids that were in lockdown.
