Highlanders v Crusaders

[Kiwiwomble]

Fuck

[taniwharugby]

@Kiwiwomble agreed, ruined my tipping, for my only skin in the game

[Bones]

Whole team clocked off after seeing their captain blow a certain try. Fucken weak.

[Kiwiwomble]

Bonus point seemed fair to me

[Yeetyaah]

Was that Collins who threw the ball back in with no aim?

[Jailbreak7]

Now that was a great try

Yes

Not sure I've seen a game where the score less reflected the closeness.

Who?

[Yeetyaah]

@KiwiMurph bahahaha fuck me it just writes itself.

[Kiwiwomble]

We had nothing to loose, hardly lots the game did it

Hassle collins and ignore the world class skills to turn possession deep in your own half into a try

That's completely not in the spirit of hating on a player.

If it had been McKay I would've been loading my spittle gun though.

[Jailbreak7]

I blame Mitch Hunt

He still owes us a game winner

Last 10-15 minutes the Landers were very disappointing. Shame because it was a great contest up until that point.

Two injuries in the first half will contribute to that

Agent Hunt

On the real, entertaining game until the 60 minute mark. Smith coming off pretty much sealed it. Crusaders offloading game was insane. Highlanders forwards I thought were quite good, backs bar Smith were hit and miss. Really wanted the Landers to win.

[Siam]

@Bones a bit harsh, they did a lot of tackling in the 2nd half. Looked more like fatigue than commitment.

Paradoxically I warmed more to my team in that scoreboard hiding game. Went into this one with that same forlorn hope you'd have when the blackcaps would play Aus in a onedayer 15 years ago. Not expecting a win at all.

Crusaders backs vs Landers? Fucking 2 levels down apart from the halfback so to be in it so long was good.

By fuck

By fuck that Highlanders winger is going to be dead to me for a long time. That was the bit. That's what deflated the team most, Jesus Christ man, that one's going to cost a lot of hattricks.

Frizzell's cool. Nugget was great. Parkinson impresses. Whoever the forwards coach is, he's got them overperforming.

Good game for 70 minutes.

That "obviously offside" stipulation is great. Really get to see team's with space off rucks.

Crusaders are good. Best in the land (again) and lots of depth.

Good win crusaders, good game Landers

(Walden please, unless his water carriage is too good to ignore, of course)
