Crusaders v Blues

[Bones]

@Duluth Beauds with a length of the field try in the dying minutes, dotting down in the corner while saluting the crowd.

Nails the conversion.

Ouch

I think that conclusively claims underdog status

I’m pretty sure Rangi played in at least one of those three home losses, so that counts in the Blues favour doesn’t it?

About 3000 tickets left for Crusaders v Blues in Christchurch on Saturday night.

LOL, Weedon getting a rematch with the Auckland boys after Onewa Domain.

@Duluth Crikey - there would be half a dozen red cards from that excerpt these days - probably starting with the tackle on Dempster.

The softer the game becomes the better the Crusaders do

@Duluth I am unbeatable at tiddlywinks!

Love that the rugby was actually second in coverage to the fights.

Ahhh the days of yore.

A very simple part of me misses the rugby codes as they were

Hard men, regardless of size, fighting. Sometimes for possession of the ball.

Canterbury certainly has the most feral supporters that I have been to (Never been to Caketin for Rugby)

Wouldn't love wearing a Blues jersey this weekend, which is pretty sad really as Rugby shouldn't have the dross that football has
