@frugby Mauger is a worse selector and coach than he was a defender in his playing days.
Unsure how he managed to get two Super gigs aside from the boys club/promote every ex Cantab player as a coach.

Just fucking stop it, or at least put in a trigger warning with spoiler blocks

Well, for my past sins, I was Canes fan then, not sure why, I think our quota was -3 back then compared with the 3 we have now.

@Nepia My theory is that as a byproduct of the cru's emphasis on on-field player decision-making over the last 20+ years a lot of Crusaders players who were just okay to good players have all been painted with the same "steady & sensible" brush and ppl believe (sometimes very wrongly) that the "steady & sensible" label would also translate to coaching.

What's dagg up to? Surely it's his time to shine at ten.

We are never favourites, it’s always the Chiefs and Blues.
Get away with you.
I barely follow SR these days but even I know the Crusaders are perennial favourites.
I guess this year will show how much of Razor's reign was his superlative coaching ability and how much was an illustration of just how shit Todd Blackadder was.

Mo'unga was superb at Super as well - the game was made for him. He created huge moments for the team.
And Sam Whitelock as well. Ridiculous at the pointy end of the season.

um didn't he only miss playoffs once and took them to 2 or 3 finals and at least one of those seasons didn't have a stadium? Maybe mediocre but "shit" seems unfair.

I think a lot of other SR coaches would take that record of Blackadder's ,not shit compared to other SR coaches but not up to the Crusaders winning standard.

A debatable penalty against the goat at the end too IIRC.

i dislike the Crusaders as much or more than the next bloke...but winning in 2011 would have been an epic story

Find it really strange that RM has no desire to play for the ABs again. He would be under his Crusader's coach, he was on the cusp of owning the 10 jersey and really cementing himself as possibly one of our great No.10s. Seems weird, surely there isn't more to it than meets the eye.

Easy to say, but I'll believe it when I see it. Why sign a three year deal then? Perfectly timed for him to return in 2027.

3 years is a long time in All Black rugby. I don't think he could leave assuming he could walk back into the squad again

Calculated risk... but does anyone really see DMac, Perofeta or B Barrett as the long term ABs 10? I'm doubtful. Only real threat is if one of the youngsters (Kemara & Millar the two who jump out?) stun us all by taking their respective games to new heights.

IMHO if he comes back and walks into the starters role, we are gonna be in for trouble in the next 3 years
