classic...thats the 22m line....as the camera is showing the big "22"

I bet Justin Marshall said that.
He's so helpful.

[Hooroo]

This is a wicked game of rugby.

No doubt about it, one of these two teams will win the title this year

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Wtf?

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Put Jordie back in the lineout. At least he won one. How many have they lost now? At least 5.

[gt12]

Hurricanes line out has lost them their chances in this game.

[Donsteppa]

One phase advantage from a knock on and Nisbett calls it the longest knock on advantage in history?

Bit sad watching Cory Jane - a shadow of himself in his prime.

His shadow would be better than Goosen atm

[gt12]

Canes set piece just can't get them good enough ball.

If BB doesn't run, there's no chance for them - he just can't get one good pass that gives him a chance..

[Billy Tell]

You'd swear Goosen is SA. A liability on attack.

[Mattasaurus]

Canes look like they've run out of ideas.

Typical pyper game... very "flat" defensive lines

Nisbo mixing up Tamanivalu with Samu - nice to see he's in mid season form
...

Understandable, they look the same don't they.... 🐟

[Hooroo]

Gotta ask. Is this essentially the same Crusaders team of last year but with heaps of injuries playing last years champs?

Is Scott Robertson a coaching messiah?

[Tordah]

Crusaders deserved winners.

[Siam]

It's a complete fuckwit of a ref who penalises an obviously weaker scrum when that team finally manages a quick heel

Good game though, like a test match for a while

Set piece and a relentless rush defense the difference between the comps two top teams

[Mattasaurus]

Bloody impressive saders.... Sam and reado not even playing...

[KiwiMurph]

Yep Crusaders the much better team. Defensively outstanding. Really dominated the collisions.

[hydro11]

We were completely reamed in the forwards, our backs were shut down by the rush defence and we only lost by eight points. That is the upside. If we had the forward dominance then we probably would have won by thirty. How to get the forward dominance against that pack is the big question. We have done it before though.

Heaps of injuries for us too.

Heaps? Coles yes, but the Chiefs also showed how the Canes can be smashed in the forwards to nullify the backs.
