<p>to be fair, the Crusaders are playing pretty well. Oh, and Peyper outstanding so far</p>

<p>They do look good but you'd expect the Brumbies to be a lot more competitive. I thought the thrashing the Chiefs gave them was a one off, not something we'd see again so soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Though I say that and the Brumbies get an intercept inside their 22 that eventually leads to their second try. The gap has closed a bit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Crusaders 26-14</p>

<p>Lot of off-field bullshit happening there too. Had my doubts as to whether Cubelli would click in that side.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nevertheless Crusaders: keep it up. I'd love the recent arrogance of Ponies' fans to be cut down to size. Bit big for their tiny little hicktown boots, that lot.</p>

<p>Ah, good point. Forgot about that mess.</p> -
<p>what a pick up by Havilli...what a try</p>

Could be a bolter for the ABs this year... -
<p>14-33 after 55</p>

<p>Very happy with the Crusaders, here. Love Havili, he is seriously under-rated. Todd is having a Cane-like game, and the forwards in general on fire.</p>

I got on the Crusaders at $2.10, thought that was bloody generous of the TAB....<br><br>
Mwahahahahaha</p></blockquote>
I took crusaders 13+ at $6 :<br><br>
Not counting chickens yet though -

<p>1st July. Mark it down on the calendar. Crusaders vs Chiefs. Should be a cracker.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remember when the Brumbies were going to win the Super XVIII after the first couple of weeks...</p> -
<p>That's a very impressive win by the Crusaders.</p>
-
<p>Lovely! The Brumbies minus their 'cock are seriously neutered at the breakdown.</p>
-
<p>is amazing the number of players putting thier hands up this year, is great to see! </p>

He was superb. Loved the try he set up for Macilai. Fuck we have some talent in the 7 jumper post McCaw - Cane, Savea, Todd and Gibson are all players other countries would kill for. -

<p>You mean 'all other countries except England who insist they don't need a real 7' don't you?</p> -
<p>Another good effort. Taylor, Todd, Barrett, Read, Mo'unga, Havili, Nadolo, Macilai and Dagg all notably good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bonus point win in Canberra not to be sniffed at - close the gap to the Chiefs to one point. Incidentally are the Chiefs a registered charity or do they have to give 33% of last night's points to the government? :)</p> -

<p>It's funny how many (esp foreign media) were saying that the All Blacks would be seriously weakened this year because of all those players leaving/retiring. If you look at the complete dominance of the NZ conference over other conferences in Super Rugby, the players that have stepped up and have shown they're worth being considered for the black jersey, and the enormous pool of great players the AB selectors can pick from, there's no reason to think the ABs will be much weaker than last year.</p> -

Haha yeah England did cross my mind when I typed that.
