Crusaders vs Hurricanes

[Kirwan]

This is into the wind too, going to be a messy second half.

[KiwiMurph]

Havili has started brightly.

[Yeetyaah]

What are they putting in the water in Christchurch? Hate to admit it but the Crusaders are bloody insane. So good.

Giraffe having a shocker.

No way that was goose not following as he should.

But this is an awful performance, as expected, canes no depth when reading ABs

[KiwiMurph]

Prinsep is one mediocre player.

I don't see Ardie. Are we laying down for this one?

Abs have asked for them to be rested in various ways for first three games. Canes are doing it, saders ignoring it

[Tim]

Looks like a long season for the Canes. Could well end up bottom of the NZ conference.

[Kirwan]

Crusaders in again (keeping them close so Richie can convert them). Think the Canes are lucky not to end the half with a yellow card.

24-0

Booooooo!

[broughie]

Well pretty disappointing NZ derby. Canes of old.

In a side note Coles is looking good. Getting round park, some strong D, just a crap team he has at mo.

[Machpants]

@98blueandgold can't throw a line out tho, not all his fault but it's been crap

Making a lot of mistakes though. Looks fast and strong, so that’s good.

[chimoaus]

Wow the Tahs must have been shit last week to lose to this rabble. Also some hope for the Blues given how competitive they were last week.

[Machpants]

@chimoaus Tahs came from behind to beat the mighty Moon dogs by one point in the previous match...

[chimoaus]

So the Fox Sports guys just said the Hurricanes haven’t made mistakes, Fuk me what game are they watching. Also where is that Ransom from last night.

[Steven Harris]

Pretty much what I expected to be fair,Saders look like they are having fun,Canes look they hanging in by a thread..funny how freakish offloads stick for very good teams..
Canes best chance for any sort of respect is for the Saders to button off..not even BB would have this evening.

[Stargazer]

Good game for S Barrett, Taufua, Goodhue, Havili, Mo'unga thus far. Evans & Proctor pretty good for the Canes, Jordie some good, some bad (just like Mataele).

Not listening to tv commentary, but on the radio they're saying there's a strong wind, which is affecting the kicking and line-out throwing.

Will come back on those ABs player management protocols later. Crusaders can still comply with them if some players don't play at all or few minutes in the game against the Reds (or are taken off early in this game).

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer Du Plessis Kirifi has been good value for the canes.
