Semi Final 1: Crusaders vs Hurricanes

@broughie no question you are correct, we can all agree he’s not the player he once was ,there’s been many a great player that’s tread that path ,but the constant critique of the All Black skipper gets a little tiresome..I have no doubt like Richie McCaw back in 2015, (similar criticism) he’s pacing himself nicely..I would be more concerned if we did’nt have him..because there’s still daylight to Read and the next cab of the rack.

@canefan But I see on this thread the Canes got the better of the Crusaders pack so BB had the easier ride,Mounga didn't according to posts on here so irrelevant point then. Wish people would make up their mind.
I said we held our own. I wasn't really talking about one game, the Saders are like the Storm. They can make good players look great. Having said that several of them ate excellent
If it’s all down to the pack he plays behind, then how come we look so bad when Ritchie isn’t playing?
I agree. I’ll add that when we haven’t started Hall and Mo’unga, we have looked less than prime also. Never underestimate a good 9/10.
Canes had an excellent pack some years ago but when they had Gopperth and Holwell their attack was held back in my view. Both okay players but lacked that class in such a critical position.

@Rancid-Schnitzel yeah ok not entering into your panties in a twist episode

As a neutral I spent the whole game entertained, ( until dickwad, great player, stink commentator asked the obvious again), well done Canes, gave it a good shot.
Mostly though I was warmly glowing at the prospects of the first fives we've got to choose from.
Read took the ball up well I thought, looked keen for some contact, tracking ok

Why do you say someone is upset or has their panties in a twist just because they point out your statement was absurd?
That's certainly the first time I've seen sideline kicks at goal described as easy.

What? You're the one claiming a touchline kick was easy. I assume you also meant the 50 metre effort was easy as well? On what planet have these ever been easy kicks?
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel didn’t mention the 50 metre kick was talking about sideline conversions
And the right side is harder to kick from the left side BB missed the easy kick of the 3 sidelines Mounga kicked his 2 from the harder side
Pretty simple really -

Pretty simple reallyWhat other kick are you talking about? He only missed one conversion and it was right on the sideline. The other missed kick was the 50 metre effort by Jordie. Your claim that two easy kicks were missed is idiotic.
-
@Stargazer they are , you kick different angles for the fade to hit your target harder from the Right for Right foot kickers as you are inclined to hook or kick too far to the right and over estimate the angle for the fade into the posts
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel yes I made a mistake on the other kick my bad

@Chris said in Semi Final 1: Crusaders vs Hurricanes:
@Rancid-Schnitzel yes I made a mistake on the other kick my bad
So you still think a touchline kick is easy?
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel yes from the left hand side
For a right foot kicker it is a lot easier
Moungas where harder I kicked many so I know it’s harder through experience it’s easier in the wind as well to fade from the left side than the right -

@Rancid-Schnitzel it’s not a hard kick from the left side I would expect in a major game our number 1 kicker to kick it don’t know I will ask Ritchie tomorrow and let you know what he’s says
