Crusaders vs Blues

@African-Monkey said in Crusaders vs Blues:

@Landers92 Seems that way, about 3 last week pulled up lame in GameDay and it's happened throughout the year, and by what @Chris has been saying, half the guys in doubt haven't trained this week.

Do they name them to fool the opposition into preparing for them?

This is one of the consequences of naming all teams on Wed. If the team plays on Sat you will be having a training on Thu too.

No other teams have really had this issue, just the crusaders so naming it a day earlier doesn’t really make a difference imo. Just the Crusaders being hopeful and playing mind games like African Monkey said above.

@Bovidae that try, Carlos walking it to the far post and then kicking the conversion is one of the greatest rugby things I've witnessed.

@antipodean And it's been shown on TV this week too.

Don't forget the 'up yours' to the crowd after nailing the conversion.

Which took away their losing bonus point...

They have the finger in the link above, but here is probably the best try in Super rugby history.

Chris

There is one of the 2 who haven't train all week out
Levi Amua out Dallas McLeod starting at centre.

No Quarter

It's perfect that TJ was commentating that try as well.

Any idea who is on the bench now? Rova?

Rova on the bench.

@gt12 I think if the pass had gone to Howlett as TJ thought, they probably still woulda scored a great try, but with Spencer finishing the audacious try he started, was so much better.
