@pukunui like who? He had far more run meters today than Ioane, Tulea or Clarke had for the blues yesterday, or either of the Hurricanes wingers today
Umm, weather yesterday kind of makes that comparison “slightly” skewed.

Depressingly predictable result, if anything the Hurricanes offered a bit more resistance than expected. Backline looked better than against the Blues, but Forward pack far too powder puff, apart from Tyrel Lomax and Afasa Aumua. No one who can break the line and get go forward ball.
For the Crusaders, Cullen Grace, Will Jordan, Jack Goodhue and David Havili on his return all looked sharp.

Enjoyable game.
Jordan was terrific.
Can't say I was impressed by Bridge. Was not threatening at all.
Jordan would good with the AB 14 jersey on his back.
Could be a very good Ben Smith style winger.George Bridge is Caleb Ralph mkII. There are so many better options than him.
The form 14 in NZ is Mark Telea. Jordan has to improve his defensive reads on the wing. I prefer him with the 15 jersey.

This could get ugly real quick.
Thought it would.
Credit t o Canes for keeping it close for so long

Laumape has an attitude problem man. Dude chucks a ball at Grace's head because he touched him slightly after the whistle. I remember last year, Tomkinson or Thompson tackled him as he went over the goal line and scored so he got up in his face like he was gonna fight him. Then he goes on Instagram talking shit about other players not playing for smaller provinces. Dude has a massive ego and a shit attitude.
Noticed Laumape's tude.
Wa kinda reminded of the Cantab disdain for Akira.
Didn't really deliver (Am a fanboi BTW... of both) but full of tude.

Imagine him and Ioane in an AB midfield ?
Don't see that from Reiko this year

Was a bizarre sort of game. Don’t have too many issues with the reffing because as we’ve seen the new laws/interpretations have troubled all sides at the breakdown.
Hall / Mo’unga combination makes a huge difference for us.

Billy Proctor what have you done!
Mumbled something to Mrs Boo sbout "safety of the touchline".
Then Ian Smith says exactly the same thing.
Something to said for the old fashioned concepts.

Bridge was Bridge. Unless he gets give the ball 20m out with plenty of space to run straight over the line he’s not going to add much #betterwingerthanriekothough
?que?

Yep had a great work rate got through alot of work for the Crusaders
Saved us a few times on D -
@ACT-Crusader Interesting, I thought Drummond made a difference when he came on. I didn't think Mo'unga and Hall were THAT good not that they did anything wrong.

@gt12 yep, I’ve been saying for years that he’s a great rugby player but a terrible halfback.
Nah. Happy little fucker. Perfect for a half back.
Doesn't make s good skipper though.
That should be 'yappy'. Auto correct.

I agree they didn’t have a standout game but there are little things that their combination do well particularly when we were on the back foot at times and the Canes had upped their pressure.
I thought all the subs made quite a difference for us. Just helped up the tempo.
