SR Final: Crusaders v Jaguares
-
@Jaguares4real Maybe. My point is, NZ teams actually play rugby and do well, even when t looks like they are fooked. I tell you what, next season, a depleted NZ SR team will do well. Cos we have depth and that's what we do. Saying crap like 'canes without barretts are rubbish' is dumb shiite, we'll still do well - canes will still be up there next year, baretts or no. Team, not individuals.

I'm proud of the Jaguares season but I'm not one to settle for "well done pat yourself on the back"
That kind of mentality disgusts me
Los Pumas will use the Jaguares success as a springboard for the RWC campaign
TRC friendlies will serve as trials for those aspiring to make RWC squad
Future is bright in ARG rugby

Disagree
Hurricanes rely on their star players to deliver: Barrett brothers Laumape Savea Coles & TJP
Without a few of them they'll be a much diminished team
Good enough to make playoffs but not a contender to win it all IMO
Crusaders have strength in numbers & strength in depth
That's the greatness of the Crusaders summarised in one sentecne

Strange decision to go for three .
Nup. Test match intensity. Gift 3. Good call.
The kick from 45m on the angle I thought was ambitious and they should have plugged the corner. But test match intensity ...

second one of those off-loads of Materas that looks to have gone forward out of hand
The one for the bombed try by Moroni looked ... err .. . borderline

Should have been a penalty for holding on. Marshall is talking shit.
No!? Really?

@Yeetyaah said in SR Final: Crusaders v Jaguares:
What a boring game and comp. Saders win again. Maybe time to spread the talent.
Bolded text: I really enjoyed it.
Not bolded bit: there's plenty of talent elsewhere. Just got to develop themselves better.

maybe lacked a bit of big game experience at crucial
Crusaders deserved to win
Jaguares were the better team
Crusaders were functional and did enough to win & were clinical when they got a chance
Somewhat self contradictory post.
Perhaps understandable in the circumstances

“The better team” never loses a game 19 - 3.
My immediate reaction was very similar.
My thoughts were "19-3 says they weren't".

they do when they leave at least 15 points on the table and gift a try through a winger having a brain fart
That makes them a poor team.

Two things can be right at the same time Doesn't have to a binary choice
Crusaders deserved to win but Jaguares were the better team
Rarely happens but then I'm not a box score scout who just looks at the final whistle score

Give it a rest, seriously.
Crusaders name on the trophy, 19-3, they were the better team, no question. Your little moral we were the better team crap counts for zilch. Nothing. Nada.
And it’s bollocks. 19-3 is one sided.
You won’t give a shit but I would have supported the Jaguares today if not for you. I doubt I’m alone.

I'm heartbroken that a random dude would have supported the Jaguares if not for the horrible crime of me Supporting the Jaguares vociferously

True. But not when one of them is wrong.
Hairies may had some better stats with ball in hand, but how good were Saders on D?
Some serious Kyle Gass-Jack Black action going on there.
Out-scrummed, out box-kicked, out-defended, out-tactic-ed, out scored their opposition.
Better team won comfortably.

Not to mention the whole sliding doors if they get one of their scores they left out there...
