We got back into the match through our flair, then the Crusaders slowed the game down taking complete control in the set pieces, lost count how many bloody tries they scored driving over the line from lineouts inside our 22... our forward play has to be much better than the rubbish we showed tonight.

you blokes showed enough I reckon,I am glad we got you out of the way early at least for the First one.
I have a feeling you might give the Blues a run next week.The Blues are behind the ball with match fitness ( nothing beats match fitness you can train all you like but it doesn't match playing)
Jordie Ardie and Amua will be better for the game time. -

Yeah, this is a real worry for us.
May make a difference,When you add a few players didn't play NPC either.

Jordie Ardie and Amua will be better for the game time.Yeah, we did some good stuff, but the ongoing problem with our set pieces is a real worry, your team smashed us there, we scored some late tries to make the scoreboard look better, but we'd lost the match well before that... we should have the edge on the Blues with us having played a match, true, you can't simulate match practice.
All the players were going to be a bit rusty in their first game, but thought Ardie was outstanding.
Thought your 10 Burke had a top match, liked that when he was ever inside his 22 he would kick the ball out near halfway so you could go to a lineout & set your defence... when our 10 was inside his 22 he kicked aimlessly downfield allowing your blokes to attack from broken play, from one of those silly kicks your blokes managed to score a try.

Big name players will stop us being totally useless, but set piece is very poor.
Yeah, very fair point...
The Crusaders tend to be much better drilled in the set pieces than all the other teams, which must play a big part in them winning all those Super titles... but it's also up to all the other sides to improve a lot more in those areas. -

Burke, he was really good.How old is Burke ? ...our 10 Ruben Love is only 21, he's a brilliant running 10, has plenty of gas, but as you've seen he needs to work a lot on his general kicking game to guide the team around the field.

@nzbloke Fergus Burke is 22.

Similar age to Ruben Love, great to see we have some really promising talent coming through.

He also needs a bit of work on his defence, he's got good size for a 10 but I saw him get bumped off quite a few times yesterday (same thing happened in the NPC from memory too).
He definitely outplayed Love though. Love I think would suit a bench impact role at this stage with his broken field running.

When Mo'unga returns you'll have two very good 10's... always thought Mo'unga was the best thinking 10 we have, but since he's been playing for the ABs under Foster his general kicking is just as aimless as B.Barrett.

That's for sure... ABs are playing too much brainless rugby at the moment.

Agree about Burke's defence. Very early days for him, but he does not seem to have too much of a running game so he will need to be outstanding at controlling a game and be a very reliable goal kicker. His kicking from hand seemed a bit short yesterday, but that seems a common problem with NZ 10s at the moment. OK as a back up 10 for now, but the Crusaders will have problems if RM goes down long term.
Talking about kicking from hand - Hunt was getting school boy distance at best yesterday.

Probably a good idea at the moment to have Love coming off the bench, hopefully that would give him a good shake up making him think much more about his general kicking game, if he can get that right along with his outstanding running game he'll be a huge asset for the Canes.
