Crusaders v Kings

[gt12]

Made that one look easy...<br><br>
Offloads all over the place..<br><br>
36-10 after 45.

[gt12]

Macilai on.<br><br>
Volavola to 10.

[gt12]

Ugh. Getting very ugly now. Like a training run.<br><br>
Great skills, but games like this really help to remind us of the defensive skill of most teams.<br><br>
43-10.

[bbarcs]

Justin Marshall took cabbage maths

[gt12]

Martululle steals one back.<br><br>
43-15.<br><br>
Edit: 43-17.

[bbarcs]

Googled "cabbage maths" and Justin Marshall was 5th result. That proves it.

[Billy Tell]

<p>TJ pissing himself over Marshall's lack of basic maths.  "6-2 is 4 Justin".  "Yes it is.  Yes it is".</p>

[Smudge]

<p>The only thing they count in Mataura is how many times Justin Marshall was chucked out of the Falls Hotel.</p>

[gt12]

Crusaders on a warning and kings 5 out.

[gt12]

Kings fuck it up.<br><br>
Great break out try to Macilai after some good work by Samu.<br><br>
50 up.

[Billy Tell]

<p>Remind me, what is the point of the Kings?  Heartland championship would seem a more appropriate competition.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3 consecutive games leaking a half-century.</p>

<br>
Keeping the SA in Super rugby?<br><br>
But that raises new questions.

[Crash]

<p>WTF that pass was forward -</p>
<p>and WTF is Mehrts on?</p>

[gt12]

Kings score, must have avoided the bonus point there Justin.<br><br>
50-24 with 13 left.

Not a fair reflection of depth though.... These same guys got smashed by the Pumas and Griquas as well, by players who aren't doing anything right now.

[Crash]

<p>Like the look of Pete Samu - but also Tupou - jeez I'd forgotten how good he is</p>

[Billy Tell]

<p>4th AB lock will be interesting: Whitelock, Retallick and Tuipoulotou seem certain, but that 4th spot.  Hmmm.  I reckon Jimmy Tupou has started the season very well.</p>

[mariner4life]

Gee the kings are a welcome addition

Really? Hasn't looked that great IMO. Thomson and Abbott were impressive and Franklin did a good job. I'd say there's a few at least on a par if not better.

Agree to disagree I suppose. Apparently hansen wants a lock/6. Luatua and Thomson are names I've seen but Tupou was at 8 today and I think he's played well at lock. Maybe I'm missing something.
