Crusaders v Chiefs

[Billy Tell]

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

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

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.

Unless you are an identical twin, apparently you have to tell her you are the brother.

Don’t worry I asked myself and I said yes.

ALB trying to remove Crotty from RWC.

Probably just leaving him to run would have as good a chance of injuring him out the RWC.

[Donsteppa]

How soft/disorganised is this goal line defence close to the ruck...

[Nepia]

Enari is looking good but he needs to cut that pony tail off!

[Bones]

TJ - "Brilliantly done by Reece!"

As all Reece does is peel off the back of the maul, run sideways then straighten a little to make about 2 metres.

[chimoaus]

It is actually concerning watching a NZ side play this badly.

[98blueandgold]

Three times he has created space for tries by jumping out and holding defender. Also all play is coming off him and not Mounga. Balls out front of runners who are running hard onto it.

Trying?

[Bones]

@98blueandgold Enari?

[98blueandgold]

@Bones yep sorry

[chimoaus]

I feel guilty saying I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing a contest between the Blues and Wolves.

[antipodean]

Did I hear Megs claim Webber was one of the Chiefs' best players this season thus far?

[chimoaus]

Chiefs dominant scrum and building some pressure, they score a try, pretty simple really.

The comeback is on

[Nepia]

The comeback is on, nice play by Nanai-Setauro who probably wishes he stayed with the Warriors at the moment.

And then he gets pulled???
