Crusaders v Hurricanes
-
Sorry, missed being live for most of the 2nd half because dinner (roast beef) and have just watched the rest if the recording.
First thoughts:
- Jordie has shown he is is No.1 15
- PUJ announced himself
- Aumua starting to re-live up to his hype (yay... Am fanboi)
- Pleased the Canes won: keeps the comp alive
- Reece looked on the verge of creating mayhem without actually doing so
- Ref was ordinary
- TJ is not a captain and needs to keep taking his calming meds
- Canes' coaches must be doing something right coz they're a rather mediocre looking bunch of individuals who are creating good results
More thunks when I think of them.

Goodhue has 4 missed tackles, 4 made, one penalty, and a try assist in that half. Very much a mixed bag.
Laumape has 20 metres off 5 runs, 3 tackles made, 2 missed. Solid but defense remains an issue.
Got monstered by Ardie early too

Does the not straight feed into the scrum, law no longer exist?
I get cranky about halfbacks following the ball at the scrum.
In my day
hb was allowed to follow the ball as long as they they stayed:- Behind the ball
- Behind the opposition hb
- Within a metre of the scrum
I am thinking these laws are either obsolete or are not being policed.

dont get that, tackle called, he rips it and ref says ok?
Timing. Ref realised he called it after the rip

This is as good as I’ve ever seen Aumua play (one bad throw excepted)
Apart from his huge runes of a few years ago
There's some sort of orc joke there but I can't words it

Yep. The likes of PUJ, Jordie, Aumua and Laumape not only playing well but developing & maturing as players. I'd kinda written off Laumape for the AB midfield but he's been a revelation these last few games. Agree on TJP but he's playing bloody well IMHO.
From an AB perspective, along with Ritchie & Jordan being on fire, it's good to see.

Great tackle from booth. Rumbles coz the crusaders can't handle losing.
Actually thought that was the kind of cynicism we can all get behind - start a fight and bait the other team into conceding the match winning penalty
Yeah. Was a little concerned when the Canes players piled in that the ref would reverse. Idiots.

Great game. Congratulations to the Canes overcoming such a terrible refereeing display. Deserved winners.
I’m surprised the Saders only lost by 2 with the amount of calls the Canes got...
Yeah. Agree. With that sort of support you'd have thought your Sith would have cruised it.

Oh and hope Laumape isn't too bad.
Probably a broken wrist

Still need a new (really good and big) lock.
Not seeing any.
