Crusaders v Highlanders

[chimoaus]

I think I would prefer Ennor and LF to switch. RM, Havs, Ennor just lack direct penetration for me vs competent teams.

[chimoaus]

Lol as I say that Havs strolls through.

@Canes4life a bit of yellow and black in the crowd too. Quite a few Wellington Lions jerseys too.

Ennor looks a million bucks compared to Goodhue early doors

an excellent defensive cross kick.. can't work out why more teams don't use them

[Canes4life]

That’s far too easy.

There was space for an extra kick but neither CGB or Gilbert pulled the trigger

You did say competent, Highlanders don't apply, they're a fucking shower

The English 10 is really struggling, lots of errors that have led to points.

[ACT Crusader]

Man, Landers just shovelling ball across the field. No one running on. No urgency. Bit sorry really.

Comms are hard to take

Nisbo busts out the “too big, too strong” for Havili when all that was really needed was a “good line”

SBW continues to be the worst person to be given a mic since Ed Sheeran

[Tim]

NPC backline.

[KiwiMurph]

Dawai got the ball in space and got ran down by the first defender then turned over at breakdown. Talent deficient.

Whats the background on the new saders 9?

Absolutely carved up for NZ U20s last year vs Aus but struggled a bit in the NPC.

Off topic, but that upvote is for the Ed burn.

So do we really have the depth to cope with the Japanese exodus etc. Judging from the injury rate etc and this Highlanders team it's starting to look a little light on.

I'd say it's more that talent is stockpiled elsewhere. Blues have talent that can't get on the field.

I’m glad they are giving Hotham a good run tonight because we need options at halfback big time.
