Crusaders v Highlanders

[taniwharugby]

Hauiti-Parapara looks handy

[voodoo]

I have a large and growing man-crush on Blackadder

[taniwharugby]

that was pretty damn good by the Crusaders

edit - stupid fucking kick by the Highlanders though, when will kiwi teams learn with those fucking stupid nothing kicks

[Mattasaurus]

He has a tremendous work rate. I'd like to see him with another 5-10kg on that frame.

[ACT Crusader]

Risky stuff from the Landers

I think you can blame the import who was so easily stepped on the sideline. Park level defence.

Brainless rugby in that part of the park. Do they have a coach?

[KiwiMurph]

Apart from the lineout the Highlanders look ok structure wise they just have fuck all talent.

@antipodean TBF Mounga has stepped better players than him in a one on one like that

As long as he doesn’t lose the pace - the TMO no-try was only close because he forced the mess, the try they scored he was the next set of hands if needed.

He’s a great combo of genuine menace but also quality link-play

Easily the best player on the park so far. Either he has a mini-McCaw cloak or he just seems to be at most of the breakdowns

[antipodean]

That try shouldn't stand IMO. Clear case of prop(s) offside before ball is transferred creating obstruction.

[Canes4life]

Mo'unga and Blackadder looking good tonight, a shame to see Goodhue go off injured again.

Definitely a balance issue, but his engine is impressive. I think he'd carry a few extra kilos better than most.

@KiwiMurph yeah, doing some good stuff, but just some lousy individual play.

24-3 at ht. Could be another hiding. Hope not though

[Kiwiwomble]

Expecting to get shafted doesn’t seem to make getting shafted any easier…

Really poor crowd

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean happens at pretty much every single maul, they are so poorly officiated.

It's already a hiding. Landers have enough problems with talent let alone when they don't have 5 of their best players
