Crusaders vs Hurricanes

[chimoaus]

Canes lineout losses more than their points scored.

Read an article about Ginger nine 'deciding between NZ and Scotland' he's fucking dreaming of even getting into Scotland

Yep I was suitably triggered by that article as a Scots fan too as if any Tom, Dick or Harry can lace up the boots ( although a few donkeys from NZ have made it in the past )

Fuck me what has the Giraffe been doing in the off-season. Him and Li must have been training buddies.

[Machpants]

Fuck me Jordie has learnt nothing

[chimoaus]

TJ makes immediate impact.

[Kirwan]

Nice finish by Goosen. Handy being tiny when there is no space.

[hydro11]

That was shocking from Goodhue. It wasn't even a good attacking move, really.

[Kirwan]

Game has degenerated into a mess.

[Machpants]

Well at least Ricky has improved his haircut from being a huge mushroom, whilst goodhue has gone downhill to something from Marshall-esque. There's one win for the canes

[Kirwan]

Not a bad move there.

@hydro11 take a look at the front on angle and you will see that the Giraffe was running into a hole and being missed by the player inside. Goodhue closed in and left the player coming around. Space on inside, and space and outside - just well worked.

[Kirwan]

Wow, the Canes go up the middle through a gap left by Taufua who looks out on his feet, just jogging really.

[Kirwan]

Good attitude in the last ten from the Canes after being thrashed in the rest of the game. Removed a bonus point from the Cantabs.

[Machpants]

Pity that we could only do that for last ten minutes. Saders look awesome, 17 game winning streak bloody impressive

[chimoaus]

What a difference TJ makes, good on the Canes for the finish.

@Machpants said in Crusaders vs Hurricanes:

@Bones yeah it's something like that. Saders, Highlanders, ignoring it a fair bit

does it only apply to regular all blacks? ie Read, Taylor, Whitelock and presumably Franks, Moody, Barrett, Goodhue (who missed last week)

Mo'unga, Todd, Crotty, Bridge hardly had a large workload on Japan/NH tour

[Machpants]

Who knows, it was stated in the press that it applies to all, but maybe it's totally individual. It's annoying that we are not told.

His All Black opportunity has disappeared.

Bombed a try, passed into touch, looks ineffective ball in hand and not very fit. Was dominated last week too.

Crusaders will be dirty they did not leave with the bonus point and being beaten 20-14 in the 2nd half

must have been an advantage playing into the wind
