Crusaders v Hurricanes

[Damo]

Can't blame ardie, he just did as ordered by coaches.

I thought there was a crusader just lying at the back of that ruck who must have come across the line of touch to get there and made no effort to get out of the way.

No replays of the last breakdown shown.

Well it was a good game but the top 6 inches showed. Crusaders have that. Ardie should have gone for points. You never know what will happen afterwards. Bottom line, if teams play smart the saders can be beaten.

@damo once the ref calls fulltime can the TMO still intervene at all?

[Machpants]

If only Kirifi, or proctor, could hold onto the ball

Yup

[KiwiMurph]

That was a good game.

It doesn't feel as if Crusaders are as far ahead as previous years (so far)

Those that came out of this fixture with their reputations enhanced:

• Jordie.
• Jordan.
• Jules.
• Ethan.
• Fainga'anuku.

Those that came out of this fixture with their reputations tarnished:

• Kirifi
• Scrafton
• Bridge.
• Pickerill.

@kiwimurph they won a couple last year with other teams not taking points too, just dumb.

Ardie+ even better again, somehow

[Dice]

Jordie with 18 carries!

I don't know but the TMO can only intervene within the guidelines. The TMO can't intervene to look at a possible ruck infringement.

He's still the captain on the field.

You're not the only one. It was obvious to me.

[broughie]

@dice He is a gamer. I would take a backline of that guy any day. I am a big fan..

[taniwharugby]

@damo yeah I'd have thought once he blows fulltime, unless it is foul/dirty play, it is over.

Keep him at 12 please!

Glad I wasn't alone. Not a single replay of it for some reason.

Ardie very unhappy in post match interview. He's normally pretty classy so that means he saw something.

[Tim]

Howden looked promising. O'Reilly carried well.

Would like to see more of Barrett at 12.

So Bridge played well then?

[Stag]

Quit whining Aridie, you're a great player but an absolute rubbish captain.

[Nepia]

Take Ardie and Jordie out of this team and they'll struggle (Fatty doesn't play this well every week).

The problem with nailing on Jordie as 12 for the ABs after this match is that he seemed to be floating all over the field, which is not what the ABs need.
