Highlanders v Crusaders

@SouthernMann what do you mean attitude? One of the best locks going around vs a 21 year old who spends most of his time injured? It’s called acknowledging reality. Don’t be so wet

I suspect @SouthernMann thought you wanted Barrett to physically wreck Holland in a tackle etc, which is what I also thought you meant from your original post.

I fully expect the Crusaders to win. I'd be blown away if the Highlanders get up (but very pleased).

I’d be surprised if the Crusaders lost too. Although they’ve surprised me a few times this year

One thing in the Highlanders favour is the Crusaders have been mentally weak. If things go wrong it can snowball.. a couple of quick tries could be enough to set it off

Pissed in public again Devlin or another Mental Health issue.

I'm genuinely surprised he managed to stop sucking on the Warriors knob long enough to post that.

Can I change my tips?

That's quite the mental annihilation from the wet-behind-the-ears 21yo to force an All Blacks lock to drop out of the match due to fear.

KO for Holland.

Hannah starts and Antonio Shalfoon is on the bench now

With Scott Barrett the Crusaders would be unbackably roaring hot favourites. With Barrett out they are merely hot favourites.

Hard to see this one being close, even with the injury.

Can say that about nealy all of their games this season. Strange things have happened with the Crusaders season.

Good to see both teams in their retro kits

Fuck me Dunshea has had a hard life. He looks 48 not 28

[Bones]

Take the 3

[Bones]

Nice.

[KiwiMurph]

Nisbo sees the lock with a lot of hair and calls him Dunshea

[Bones]

Ummm...is Kellow fast? Not a great look for Telea!

[SouthernMann]

Greatest falcon in Super Rugby 2024.

[Machpants]

Nice header

[KiwiMurph]

Good referee-ing to play that on.

Yeah, good pick-up though and he ran a good line.
