Hurricanes vs Crusaders

Holy moly, I thought not straights had been done away with.
Amazing.

I'd like to see Goodhue given a really good AB run this year if his form continues like this. Just does everything right, with time to spare.

J barrett has good instincts but his skills need work

Should probably take his always injured sometimes team mates place.

Gunner

Good try

Saders peg one back. We are looking strong, as long as we don't do a Blues we should be good....

Dice

That was a pretty good finish. The Canes had plenty of guys there to stop that.

Possibly our most natural looking 13 , the rest look like hybrid 12s imo

We'll cancel that one out. Hunt having a mare.

This is a fucked up game

Yeah I like Crotty but if you're building to a RWC with a centre who keeps leaving after the first 20 minutes it's not ideal. I'd like to see them go with Laumape and Goodhue myself. I know Laumape can be a bit 1 trick, but he's really mastered that trick.

This depleted Crusaders forward pack isn't imposing themselves anywhere other than the scrum.

And 20m rolling mauls

@mariner4life I was probably in the toilet.

There are a few too many average players in the Crusaders team. Bridge, Bedwell-Curtis etc. Adding Dagg, Read etc is really going to help.

Ben May has got 100 caps...which begs the question: How? Hurricanes need a better front row if they want silverware.

Whoever controls possession in the 2nd half wins this game. If the Canes concede stupid penalties and give the Crusaders field position then they'll pay. But if the Canes hold onto the ball they look like scoring just about everytime.

what a glorious afternoon, sun streaming in the windows, and the Cantabs getting an ALMIGHTY touch up on the telly.

All we're missing so far is instead of Nesbo calling it, having TJ there, buttressed by his pied-up stanchion Fat Guts Smithy sideline, their voices wracked with dismay, struggling to quell their exasperation as the rest of us run wild with ruinenlust up and down our nationalmannschafts

I don't think you really listen properly, Smithy is Canes all the way, he'll whack a couple out over the Barrett's mid match.

Hooroo

Crusaders paying $5:75 to win. Pumping on that

Gunner

Crusaders thanking their lucky stars that it was Eve’s that got that intercept, just about anyone else it would have resulted in a try

Dice

Eves looked like Habana there, but only for one second.
