@donsteppa to be fair , it’s first time I have seen the Crusaders across the board under this sort of pressure ..the panic across the board is the big thing , no composure whatsoever ..Jordon is only has good as what’s going on in front of him

Or as bad, as the case may be...

It’s probably a good thing for the All Blacks for some of these guys to be put under genuine pressure at this level of the game. Will Jordan might drop his stupid 3m grubber in his own 22 for a start.

@taniwharugby Most of those guys, particularly Ioane, MMT, and Tomkinson have been poor this year anyway.

I think there is something to this - Hunt and Ioane is a bad combination.

This Garden-Bachop is the good one clearly.

Bridge is shit

[Crucial]

Why oh why wasn’t TJ commentating this?

How much was Highlanders 21+ paying?

Probably a house in Herne Bay.

[KiwiMurph]

Bridge lolol

[taniwharugby]

@duluth he has been defending in the mid-field alot too, but I've liked his work rate, getting round the park, shifting bodies at rucks and making tackles

[Yeetyaah]

@crucial pre determined result. #rugbygate

So shit. They took off the wrong winger.

[Bones]

How's the pass from Havili

[gt12]

If the Saders cant get going through their set piece, and if you can make them pay for their penalties, and you can defend well, they’re beatable.

Whoever has them next week is well fucked.

[ACT Crusader]

Well done Landers.

Plenty to work on for my team. But if @Winger is to be believed, this is a good thing for NZ rugby right?

Yep. We don’t have the depth at first five in NZ for a player like Ioane to piss it away, it’s a shame he’s lost the plot over the last couple of seasons.

[Bones]

Should've taken the scrum

[sparky]

Just woken up to see this scoreline. This is kinda surprising to say the least.

[akan004]

Is there a point in playing Whitelock until the 80th minute when they are clearly going to lose? Razor sure loves to run him into the ground and leave the ABs with a burnt out player.

[Yeetyaah]

Fucking awesome game Highlanders. Mitch Hunts man of the match hands down.

[Hooroo]

Bags not playing the Crusaders next week

Who was the best Sader? Barrett made quite a few good tackles. Or?

I miss the Dave Rennie days, this was the sort of Crusaders performance that Retallick and co thrived on.
