@pakman how good would it be if Moana upset the Saders tonight and put them out of their misery.

I originally saw it as putting the Saders being put of their misery, but over the weeks it has become obvious to me it is the supporters of other teams that need to be put out of their misery with a Saders exit. There seems to be a fair bit of PTSD out there with people hoping they don't get to play the Saders in a quarter.

If we play the Saders in a quarter so be it. I don’t think the Canes will be trembling with fear if the current Crusaders crop rolled into town next week. A lot of these young guys in the team like Lakai haven’t lost to the Crusaders/Canterbury yet so they won’t be daunted at all.

I just want them to lose because they are the Saders and they don’t deserve to be competing for a title this year.

Yeah I wouldn't be worried either. It is a poor Crusaders team.

Back to this game Jamie Hannah out with a leg injury replaced by Dom Gardiner on the bench.

Moana tipped up the 2023 Tahs in Sydney in the last round robin game last year - Michael Hooper's farewell game.

Doing it to the Crusaders in Chch (even the 2024 version) is a much tougher proposition.

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph We also won out last round Robin game in 2022 against the Brumbies, so we've never lost in the last round of a regular season match......

Surely history is about to repeat itself 😂

[Machpants]

Crusaders scrum is awesome, shame about everything else

[Duluth]

MP did well to concede nothing there

[Canes4life]

Moody in trouble

[Duluth]

Moody gone

Think that will be upgraded to a red

[Tim]

Yeah that will be a red.

[Canes4life]

@Duluth that’s worse than Tuputupu’s one last week so should be a red.

[KiwiMurph]

You'd think Moody would have got that out of his game by now but nope.

[Duluth]

Strange with a dumb penalty. What a surprise

[KiwiMurph]

How hard is it to listen to the ref

[antipodean]

That should stay yellow. Attacker falling in tackle.

[Donsteppa]

Joe Moody doing Joe Moody things...

MP looked like conceding a try for all money in those first nine minutes, but some great individual efforts on D.

[Bones]

I've no idea why I still shake my head at Strange plumbing the depths of stupidity every week

Yeah only thing is not a lot of Mitigation, Moody didn't drop at all and put a lot of power into it.
