Crusaders vs Hurricanes

[Mattasaurus]

Good to back at the start of a season .
Was hopeful Sky might have looked to improve pregame show/analysis but looks to be same old same old

I'm neutral in this game ..... Saders seem to start poorly and lost to the landers pre-season .. so maybe the Canes will win ....

Curious to see how long Fern favourite Blackadder lasts

Sky Sport serving up the same crap as last year. I was hoping for improvement.

@Canes4life I think that is a little harsh. Definitely seems to be some extra cameras at least. The analysis though, remains a below-par - but find me a pre-match coverage in any sport that doesn't largely consist of meathead ex-pros analysing with low effort.

Sky Sport are just a tick box exercise. Instead of getting the best people for the job we are left with this lot who spend half of their time blowing smoke up each others arses. It’s cringe as. The analysis is below par. It used to be so much better but it seems to get worse every year.

If they want to bring back the crowds and improve fan engagement they need to do better.

JK was the only one who wasn’t afraid to say what he really thought but now he’s gone.

Ex-players are generally awful commentators.

@Machpants The pits!

[antipodean]

This new stadium is a bit shit. How much did it cost?

[Bones]

What a difference it makes with an Oz ref actually reffing the crusaders.

210 seconds into the new season and Scotty gets his first card.

[Canes4life]

There goes Scotty already.

[Mattasaurus]

Wish Berry refed like this in the RWC

[antipodean]

Who brought that maul down? Should the Saders be down to 13 already?

[Stag]

Bullshit penalties right from the start, Berry hasn’t changed in the slightest…

[Steven Harris]

Relentless attack from the Canes ..loose forwards could be the difference

Good to see he's learnt nothing over summer...

[Stag]

Potential serious injury to the halfback and Berry insists on playing on, why is this dickhead still reffing at this level.

[mariner4life]

ah the duality of man

Walker-Leawere with the big hoof down the field.

Hotham heading for the same treatment as Roigard got last March possibly
