Crusaders v Hurricanes
-
Intercept pass aside, Goodhue is showing he is still a classy centre. Some lovely subtle touches so far
-
@steven-harris Princep wouldn't make an Aussie SR team.
-
Get JGB off aswell, he’s been limping around for the last 15 minutes.
-
I know it gets said to death on here, but how do the Hurricanes expect to compete with that pack? Their 9-10 combo came under the spotlight but that's the least of their problems with the lightweight forward pack they're fielding atm.
-
@crazy-horse in these first 2 games I have actually been really impressed with Young Macleod at12 ..Goodhue has missed the odd tackle ,but has still got those classy touches

@canes4life 16?? Are Canes fans the new Blues fans?
Yeah mate my ears are hurting from the high pitched whinging get better don’t whine
-
Liking the Crusader loosies too. Seem more effective than last year. Blackadder making a good impression and Grace doing what he does best in the lineouts. Good solid players.

They’d be much better beefing up a bit - Ardie has hardly been involved and Kirifi is busy but a bit ineffective, then there is Prinsep. That line out was a key chance which they fucked up.
I’m not sure what Flanders did wrong.

Blackadder has bulked up and it’s showing in his carries

He’s looked really good. I’m not sure they’re being challenged very strongly though - the match-up against the Blues will be fascinating.

I acknowledge terrible reffing even if it benefits my side

That will be another level that game

Like @Chris said, the Blues are another level. Last year it seemed the Crusaders won despite the loose forwards. So far this year the loosies are contributing.

@winger which decisions are you talking about ..?.in my opinion the only marginal one was the pass Mitchell Drummond threw to Mounga when the Saders scored ..I thought it was forward ,but the TMO made the call based on not enough evidence showing it had gone forward ,as for the Goodhue v Kirifi incident, nothing in it ..officials got that correct ..if that’s the officials only 2 questionable decisions..,there’s been about 10-12 errors the Canes have made in terms of defence and discipline..,not to mention 2 clear cut chances not taken
