Crusaders vs. Hurricanes

[Crucial]

Man this thread is the biggest rugby whingefest in ages. Refs and players conspiring to make a dogs breakfast?

[No Quarter]

I've only been watching the 2nd half but it's been comical stuff from the Canes tonight. They've blown hot and cold all year, Saders good enough to make us pay for it.

[canefan]

Flush the dunny boys.....

[Canerbry]

@crucial Canes fans blaming everything but their stupid players.

[antipodean]

Crusaders are deservedly in front on the scoreboard. They're playing accurate wet weather rugby.

[gt12]

@no-quarter

Really clear plan and they’ve played to it. I’ve been super impressed by Mo’unga, who’s looked 100% comfortable with driving them around. He’s kicked really well, and made good decisions all night.

Much happier about him in a black jersey. Waaaaaay ahead of Dmac

[Donsteppa]

Butter like defence in the last line there.

Way ahead of Beauden tonight too.

Prinsep finishes under the posts with a good solo run. Finally the red wall is breached

[Rapido]

Wow, a crowd clapping a player off after an admirable performance? Was the DJ asleep at the wheel?

Stoppages are for Sweet Caroline? Surely? They've paid their money, give them their Sweet Caroline.

[canefan]

The ginger reserve 9 is on. If we weren't done already we're done now

[hydro11]

They missed Ardie being cleaned out around the head there.

Yep. Tonight not a great night for those who refuse to criticise Beauden as a 10. On a night where he cant use his pace Beauden has done fuck all.

[canefan]

We've tried far too much 50 50 stuff tonight

[canefan]

That forward pass by BB caps off a poor night

[canefan]

On a night like this, where the Crusaders showed mastery of the conditions, why would Christchurch want to build a covered stadium and turn every game into a dry weather track meet?

[ShadowTrooper]

Wow wtf is in the water down there in Sader-land? Bloody good show
Maybe it's in the rain.....?

So the fans don't drown/catch hypothermia/stay in the pub?

[kev]

@canefan simple things like running close to touch line turning ball over too easy, too many passes around contact, not kicking for territory.

Maybe cover the fans and leave the players exposed? The canes would prefer a dry hard track indoors...
