Crusaders v Chiefs

[chimoaus]

Does there need to be some sort of Crusaders Law, like you can only have so many All Blacks and you must donate a few of your age group players to other teams?

You've got to admire the Chiefs in terms of consistency: whatever the worst possible option is, they seem to take it every time.

It says a lot if an age group player would stay at the Crusaders and compete for a position than go to other teams.

Why is TTT not out there? Dmac is bad but Weber is fucking terrible too.

Standing by that post. The key word was “delusions”

@chimoaus I just don't want to give the crusaders any credit

Yeah even the Australian sides can beat this Chiefs team.

I hope Brodie and ALB have spoken to Steve just to confirm as long as they're fit, they're still on the bus.

Do the Chiefs even run defence drills at training?

[Toddy]

God I hope Sam Cane isn't training with the chiefs. We don't need any of this shit rubbing off on him.

[Bones]

Fuuuuck me, Weber is horrible. But hey should probably just keep playing him and just bring TTT on from the bench for a couple of panicked minutes when the game is well and truly over. It's not like he's a proven player or anything.

Richie Mo'unga is certainly easing himself into the season.

Though I was wondering about a (not happening) AB backline of:

A. Smith, Mo'unga, Ioane, Laumape, Goodhue, B. Smith, B. Barrett

TJP, DMac, ALB

[No Quarter]

ALB is one of the absolute stand-outs for me this year. It's one thing to be in form, but to do that while surrounded by dross is a pretty amazing effort.

In the bed with the wife and I’ve come multiple times. She’s asleep and I’m watching the Crusaders.

Goodhue is O for awesome. Him, Crotty, ALB and Laumape are your RWC centres, no SBW please.

Bridge might be worried that Jordan is going to sail past him into the ABs.

Like the look of Enari, although no idea whether he has a kicking game.

So, would you prefer the ABs playing Schmidt style rugby or the Razor method...?

@Billy-Tell verbal consent is the minimum nowadays

I reckon that's our strongest backline right now. Beauden's pace and opportunistic play can be lethal from the back. Laumape and ALB can easily swap, though ALBs ability to cover 12 and 13 may see him on the bench.
