Crusaders v Kings

[Billy Tell]

<p>That Kings left wing makes Nadolo look small...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd say he'd have to drop down to about U14s before he'd have a chance of being the biggest player on the pitch.  Looks like he'd tip the scales at about 60kg, and wouldn't be out of place in the Kenyan long distance running team.</p>

Crusaders make this scoring tries lark look hard...

[gt12]

Made that one look easy...<br><br>
Offloads all over the place..<br><br>
36-10 after 45.

[gt12]

Macilai on.<br><br>
Volavola to 10.

[gt12]

Ugh. Getting very ugly now. Like a training run.<br><br>
Great skills, but games like this really help to remind us of the defensive skill of most teams.<br><br>
43-10.

Justin Marshall took cabbage maths

[gt12]

Martululle steals one back.<br><br>
43-15.<br><br>
Edit: 43-17.

[bbarcs]

Googled "cabbage maths" and Justin Marshall was 5th result. That proves it.

[Billy Tell]

<p>TJ pissing himself over Marshall's lack of basic maths.  "6-2 is 4 Justin".  "Yes it is.  Yes it is".</p>

[Smudge]

<p>The only thing they count in Mataura is how many times Justin Marshall was chucked out of the Falls Hotel.</p>

[gt12]

Crusaders on a warning and kings 5 out.

[gt12]

Kings fuck it up.<br><br>
Great break out try to Macilai after some good work by Samu.<br><br>
50 up.

[Billy Tell]

<p>Remind me, what is the point of the Kings?  Heartland championship would seem a more appropriate competition.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3 consecutive games leaking a half-century.</p>

<br>
Keeping the SA in Super rugby?<br><br>
But that raises new questions.

[Crash]

<p>WTF that pass was forward -</p>
<p>and WTF is Mehrts on?</p>

[gt12]

Kings score, must have avoided the bonus point there Justin.<br><br>
50-24 with 13 left.

<br>
Not a fair reflection of depth though.... These same guys got smashed by the Pumas and Griquas as well, by players who aren't doing anything right now.

[Crash]

<p>Like the look of Pete Samu - but also Tupou - jeez I'd forgotten how good he is</p>

[Billy Tell]

<p>4th AB lock will be interesting: Whitelock, Retallick and Tuipoulotou seem certain, but that 4th spot.  Hmmm.  I reckon Jimmy Tupou has started the season very well.</p>

Gee the kings are a welcome addition
