Crusaders v Brumbies
-
@Stargazer He has been playing really well in his comeback, I often wonder if some of them get back too soon. Glad he isn't out for too long. Would love to see a player ratings for this game. How many newbies did we have in this game?

@Canes4life Yeah but also historically a game they are almost certain to lose. When would you rest your stars if its mandatory? 'Saders did it against Fiji. Is that a disgrace?
The Drua aren’t a top side so it makes sense to rest your big guns. If Super Rugby want to get their fans back, surely (bar injury) the best players should be playing the big games.
I was originally pissed at Larkham for resting players, but all coaches have to handle their squads as they think is best, not just for Test player protocols , but for players lasting season.
The main reason I had trouble with is not disrespecting anyone but his own team by seemingly running up the white flag. -

These crusaders backs are hopeless, there is no way they can win this year unless they sort it out.
Lol Well we do have Jordan,Reece,Goodhue,Havilli out they may make a difference.
Plus ****Grace,Strange,**Dunshea,Brewis Newell,Bell.Whitelock,
5 points with those players out seems ok to me.The ones in bold type due back after the Bye. -
@antipodean not at all. The crusaders were missing 7 All Blacks and 10 injured players in total.

Hence I can understand why Larkham chose a B side, he backed his squad and imagine if he had pulled it off

Crowd booing a knock on. How dare the ref call a knock on against the Crusaders.
Absolutely despicable behaviour from the Christchurch crowd being the only home crowd in the history of sport to boo a ref. Somebody needs to think of the children before real harm is done.

Another poor kick by Mo'unga.
Other than his goal kicking and an early line break in the first half, he had an absolute mare.

Blues and Chiefs are heavy favourites.
But in saying that, SR titles aren’t won in March…

I assume you didn't watch the Chiefs match tonight?

@Nepia I’m watching the league. Is that a spoiler alert?

Blues are heavy favourites after you just beat the Blues last week.... makes sense......

Humbug, what’s one game in March. Your boys will be fine.
As for this game, so many players out for both sides, it’s good to the points but not sure what it means in terms of performance other than getting a few fringe players game time.

After the match this looks even more like a missed opportunity for the Brumbies.

Ratings are a bit of waste of time when in that game the lowest rating anyone is given is a 7 out of 10.

And that wasn’t even Richie Moounga
