Crusaders v Hurricanes - SF

[kev]

@canefan Good coaches fit the parts together. But this team has a lot of quality.

So why is DMac in the AB matchday 23 and Mounga not?

He is Lima, clearly they don't see him as an impact player. He could shut a game down though

That was my biggest gripe with the side vs France, but then DMac actually played OK. Mo'unga is miles ahead of him as a starting 10 though.

Lots of quality yes. Winning pattern yes.

He just needs to keep it together until after RWC19. He is one big one away from career end

Thats what i dont get. Mounga has a ton of attacking ability and a heap of pace. I dont see why he couldnt be a bench impact player.

[Machpants]

@kiwimurph certainly showed it this game. Things could change for RC, and certainly EOYT

You'd think the BB/Mounga combination (with BB dropping back to 15) would be better than the BB/DMac combination too.

I think he's a far better runner and counter attacker than Lima. I don't buy that he can't be an impact player off the bench, he breaks tackles for fun.

Per 80 minutes, Mo'unga is close to DMac for attacking stats for a 10.

They are in love with DMs razzle dazzle. But if BB went down after 15 minutes I know who I'd want on the bench

They see him as a starter, not an impact player. That's what I meant

[Machpants]

@canefan especially after DMac showing last week

[MiketheSnow]

Can someone explain why BB's too short attempt resulted in a Canes scrum please?

For me it's lost control of the ball in the field of play, knock on Canes.

Should have allowed advantage to Crusaders or scrum feed Crusaders?

[kev]

@canefan With players that stay in the pattern and make good decisions.

Ref said he blew the whistle to stop play so scrum attacking team (Canes).

This is a great point. I think that combo gives us more options and provides potentially better security if BB is crocked

Ennor is bloody average.

[Donsteppa]

A very soft attempted tackle gets the Canes a consolation try.
