I assume you didn't watch the Chiefs match tonight?

@Nepia I’m watching the league. Is that a spoiler alert?

These crusaders backs are hopeless, there is no way they can win this year unless they sort it out.
Blues and Chiefs are heavy favourites.
But in saying that, SR titles aren’t won in March…
Blues are heavy favourites after you just beat the Blues last week.... makes sense......

Humbug, what’s one game in March. Your boys will be fine.
As for this game, so many players out for both sides, it’s good to the points but not sure what it means in terms of performance other than getting a few fringe players game time.

After the match this looks even more like a missed opportunity for the Brumbies.

Ratings are a bit of waste of time when in that game the lowest rating anyone is given is a 7 out of 10.

And that wasn’t even Richie Moounga

Crusaders play like shit and win, normal service restored in round robin play. I'm a bit disappointed in the Bumboys though, teams either grow another leg playing the Crusaders or spin the wheel picking a squad management 22 strategically and hoping for the best. Given the Crusaders absences you'd think picking the another leg team might have been an opportunity.
But no, look at the scoreboard.

@Canerbry I like the fact we are starting some newbies, really don't expect them to really hit their straps until well after the byes. Hopefully we can get a good blend of newbies and returning players. How has Macca Springer been playing, didn't see his name in tonight's team.

Good win over the balmain tigers.

You did see that the whole core of the Brumbies side were rested? They flagged this one as a development game in their season planning by the looks of it.
Dumb decision IMO as they aren't going to get a home semi without beating the Saders and it turned out that they painted themselves into a corner as with the reshuffled (but still strong starting XV) 23 the Saders listed the game would have been there for them to take.
I would find it funny except it did no favours to other NZ teams handing the Saders an easy win. -
