Rebels v Crusaders
-
@Chris-B the backline we finished with
Heinz, Richie, Macca, Goodhue, Ennor, McLeod, Havili
Far more direct and played really well I thought.

If the Rebels could play for 80mins, they'd be a force in this competition.
They lost a bit of direction. Losing Stacey Ili didn’t help on that front given he often sets the tone for how the backline plays.
Don’t forget arguably their best in Hardwick aswell. Rebels have the makings of a very good side.

@Canes4life is Moananu related to the Poneke boys?

I know he is Auckland raised, De La Salle College, Manurewa club, debut for Counties last year.

Good to see Goodhue back and playing well
They had lots of mistakes from players to tonight - but Goodhue and McLeod added some accuracy.
Havili looked really handy when he started stepping into first receiver too.
Come on Dave, you know you want to move south to run the show.

Hodge was on that
Certainly looked that way from the camera angle. Unlucky not to win the penalty and then cruelly they lose a player and have a try scored under the posts.
Absolute shit reffing
-
How good was Moananu?? Asking as I have not seen anything of this fella, worth a start perhaps?
-
@Jailbreak7 small sample size, but like a young Taukieaho.
-
Strange, Grace, Goodhue, McLeod, and that new hooker fella gave some bench impact and pushed the Crusaders over the line. Geez, they have some real problems at scrumhalf this year. Drummond is not in the best of form so they have to rely on an aging fella who has lost a bit of pace and energy.
I don't think they will challenge the Chiefs at home. Both forward packs will cancel each other out and I hope I am off the mark but the Crusader's backline firepower seems a bit, meh, without LF, Jordan, etc. -

Strange
He's an accident waiting to happen, needs to sharpen up. Decent player, but either he's dumb AF, or the red mist really takes over.

Having not seen or heard of him before , when he came on I thought the Crusaders had pinched someone from Melbourne club footy at the last minute to cover for Taylor. He doesn't have the professional footy player body shape just yet.

Wouldn’t that be great

I wouldn't mind if they played the core of that backline next week - with hopefully Big Leicester and Will Jordan on the wings.
Probably Will will start from the bench - assuming he plays.
