Hurricanes v Crusaders

That's a bloody satisfying win, especially with Beauden and Aso dropping out late and the big reshuffle as a result. Overall much smarter footy in the 2nd 40.
Trip to Canberra against the hapless Bumboys is far better then going all the way to SA. Good stuff.

@Rancid-Schnitzel how's your Saturday night now? Hope you didn't tune out!

Put game on pause, then had long dinner. Don't need dessert now.
Fark yeah!!!!!!

TJP threw an awful pass in the lead-up go Jordie's try, Black did brilliantly to pick it up from below his knees and put Jordie away. His cross field kick to Savea was on point too, he had a good game overall.
-
@No-Quarter stands soooo bloody deep though!
Lousi is really starting to shape up nicely.
-
The fucking Bumboys have won 6 lost 11 and have a home quarter. It'll be an absolute travesty if we don't go over there and slap 7 shades of shit out of them.

What were the odds that a fullback at centre would get found out defensively.
Don't tell @Rancid-Schnitzel it's him isn't it that thought the frailties were only because he was a centre at fullback? 😁
I said 12 bitch, not 13.

Haha, Hometown lives up to his name tonight. Hilarious effort.

Jackson has been fucking us for years. We were due.

@ACT-Crusader A pretty unbelievable performance, but his video assistant is worse.
Doesn't take long to see a boot very clearly planted on the touchline in that final try that was instantly given on review.

I thought that was a bit strange. My first thought on the replay was that it was out so I was shocked they gave it straight away.

He is. I would like (hope) to see Fatialofa back next week though in the reserves as we are now down to two locks with Fifita at 6. Likewise with Coles. The other issue is at LH. Uhila looks unfit whereas he was outstanding at the end last year. We have had a bad run with injuries this year in the forwards and its a credit to Plumtree etc what they have done with the next level down players. Lousi wouldn't have got a look in without many lock injuries (4 if include Thomson) yet he's looking good
Black played well in this game. He just needs game time and lots of it to see what he can do. Hopefully he can step up at the Blues

Terrible decision from Drummond to tap the PK at the end. Down by 9 with 90 seconds to go its ALWAYS a shot at goal. Quite apart from anything else, Crusaders giving up th BP means Lions only need to win rather than win wit a BP.
Lions are only two points behind (61 vs 63). So I don't think it would make any diff. Lions must win though as with a draw most wins decide top spot. (Then points diff)

@Winger The table I saw was 61 - 64. I could be wrong. My main point still stands though.
If you need 2 scores its quickest to take pk first then go for try. Even if they scored from quick tap, the game would have been over after conversion, whereas kick the goal and there is almost certainly time for a restart.

@hydro11 Actually, I have to take that back, after quite a few play throughs - I think that try was fair.
I'm fucked if I know how Newman got that on one view though.
From the one replay I saw on a shitty TV it appeared it wasn't going to be clear and obvious so I assumed he saw a better version of that.
