Hurricanes vs Crusaders

[Machpants]

That would not normally be called a maul

[westcoastie]

Surely Red had to release once that went to ground? was that even a maul? then if it was was did the collapse it?

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants assume you mean the Laumape one? I thought it was a maul but didnt think the ref had called it as such

[broughie]

What the hell is Jordie Barret doing with those no look passes?

this ref making some odd calls

Ben O'Thief.

Enjoying the game.

Read looks energetic if inaccurate.

Beaudie quiet so far.

[westcoastie]

Let me think about that half... Tiatia, Lam showed why they're not AB's, Fifita goes high with and without the ball. Jordie Barrett - just needs to play smarter

[Canerbry]

Player is on his feet, will Jordan holding him up and trying to rip the ball, ref calls "tackle - release". FFS.

@Stargazer said in Hurricanes vs Crusaders:

Edit: according to twitter, Garden-Bachop got injured playing for the Hurricanes Hunters this afternoon; he's replaced by lock Kane

6/2 split means they can’t sub Tiatia early.

I’d swap him and Jordie around

[Machpants]

Beaudy just shoveling on, mostly. Saders know exactly what coming, and their defence is great

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants need to involve Laumape more if they expect to bend the line...

[Machpants]

Or some deception! That line out try was great deception, but that's it so far, all so very predictable. As predictable as multiple Jordie stupid passes

[Kirwan]

Todd’s hissy fit for being carded was some soccer level bullshit.

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants yep, deception involving Laumape too...when you have a runner like him, you use him to batter the line you use him as a dummy runner, but you just use him.

Poor ball retention, poor backline D. Regretting not going Saders 17+ at this stage...

[KiwiMurph]

Not the first time this season Beauden has been intercepted.

[Machpants]

One of many, sadly

I don't want to say that intercept was was obvious, but commentators called it as soon as it left Beaudy hands, FFS

[Yeetyaah]

Beaudy did a Damo

[Canerbry]

Fuck Beauden has cost three tries tonight, Richie kicking 100%.
