Great game of rugby. Very happy with that.
Highlanders are on a winning streak!
Please do the same next week.

Ironically this result see's the Highlanders stay in 7th, but their bonus point moves the Crusaders up a place to 9th ahead of MP on points difference. just 3 points out of the 8 right now, but could drop places again if the Tah's or Force win tonight.
-
@Daffy-Jaffy they prob hope the Force do win. The alternative is a Drua win which pushes Crusaders further away from 8th (not accounting for an unlikely draw)
-
..and they could be 7 or 8 points out of the 8 if the Drua win
-
Nine kids 22 or under in that 23. While they have only won two games, there is what nine All Blacks in the Crusaders. Massive for the young boys

Penney sounds out of ideas.
Finishing up by apologising. He sounds like a broken man.

It isn't in our culture to sack coaches mid season so I can't see that happening. He might go in the off season though.
Most likely they keep him and assess after 3 or so games in 2025.

@Machpants That bonus point moves the Crusaders into 9th ahead of Moana.
That was such a nothing yellow card at the end there. There was nobody guarding the ruck and he literally stepped over from an onside position. Gardner had a good game but those last two decisions against the Highlanders were utter crap. I doubt they would've been given had the Crusaders still been in with a chance to win it. Sympathy reffing.

Agreed. I was mystified as to how he determined that was worthy of a penalty let alone a YC.
Gardner had a good game
Disagree. He's not up to this level.
