Semi Final 1: Crusaders vs Hurricanes

[MajorRage]

I think there’s a pretty decent match there in amongst the advertising.

[canefan]

Yessss

[mariner4life]

Thank fuck. This game desperately needed something to liven it up

[Tim]

Almost a penalty try there. All those offside Crusaders stopped TJP scoring.

[kiwiinmelb]

Somehow they are only 6 points behind

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Ah fuck yeah. Should be 20 nil to the Saders but I'll take that!

Real shit that Jordie Barrett.

[Toddy]

Stoked to get rid of the donut

It would have been if TJP hadn't put in so many tackles. Been bloody good this season

[KiwiMurph]

A few thoughts.

Beauden put in quite a few shit kicks

Mounga defends like Merhts

Canes scrum holding up well

Bridge is schooling young Lowe so far.

Is BB playing Kick and Catch with George Bridge?

Yep. Those must be the (appallingly executed) tactics. The hold the ball and score. Funny that. J Marshall was actually right for once.

Beauden's kicking from hand has been really poor. Has to be a lot better in that area in the 2nd half.

He's suddenly going to learn in the next 10 minutes?

[Steven Harris]

Gee after the Canes were looking they were slowly getting the life chocked out them, they score and they are only 6 points behind at halftime.
However the message has got to be, Stop kicking your ball away Beauden Barrett..,most of it has been awful.

[ACT Crusader]

We looked a little disjointed in the latter part of the half. Canes upped their defensive pressure as well.

Okay game so far.

[Canes4life]

Stop kicking the ball away Beauden. Just have a f&cking crack and back yourself.

I don't know about that, but he's playing like he's already the Blues 10.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

BB has been doing that kind of kick for about 2 years. Not sure wtf the point is. It clearly isn't working or he clearly can't get it right. It's not a bomb or a touch finder. It's just crap.

[Duluth]

Defence keeping the Canes in it

Jeez, that's cruel.

Interesting , the Aussie commentary seems to think the canes kicking the ball was a bit of risky genius ,

Something about disrupting their rhythm and turning their forwards around ,

And now they will run it
