Those that came out of this fixture with their reputations tarnished:

• Kirifi
• Scrafton
• Bridge.
• Pickerill.

So Bridge played well then?

So Bridge still have some reputation to tarnish?

[broughie]

@chris Totally agree. Top 6 inches.

@chris really if you had a smarter team playing you would have lost. The Crusader mistique of old is lost.

Maybe but winning ugly still keeps you on top.
A long way to the Finals yet.

I really can't see the crusaders getting the same "luck" under non kiwi refs...

Well if it’s Murphy no NZ team will win he is worse than pick his nuts.

@chris He is useless. Maybe Crucial will defend him but I doubt it.

Why didn't they at least go to golden point?

Because Ardie is a retard

Who was it that was recently extolling Ardie as a crucial AB because of his leadership...?

@taniwharugby said in Crusaders v Hurricanes:

@gt12 looked like that call came from the coaches

The retards who appointed another retard as their captain?

[Toddy]

@junior He may not be a great captain but he's leading a team of mostly NPC players pretty well.

I think that was a reasonable call. You take the 3, you have a 90% chance of getting it but then it is a 50/50. The Hurricanes had a decent chance of scoring from that lineout at the end. I don't think it was 50/50 but at least 35%. It wasn't a shocking call.

Well I was yelling to do exactly what they did, what was point of going for a draw, play extra time and still maybe not win, and they got another game on Tuesday night??
Sorry fellas , but to be calling people retards kind of shows something about you, especially when it was right call. If Jordie had taken kick attempt and missed you would be moaning for not goin to corner.

The weakness in this analysis is that it was exactly one chance to score (time is up) versus 90% draw then a 50/50 with time to score or lose.

How many lineout drive tries have the Canes scored this year? I honestly don’t know but I’ll bet it is zero (or basically that).

Edit: @fooba seems to suggest it is zero

@machpants Very likely as my guys had about four or five guys come down with covid in the last couple of days and one other team had to pull out of their game today with about a dozen covid cases so it might be something sweeping through the Wellington rugby community at the moment.

Would like to see more of Barrett at 12.

Definitely. Just need to take care we don't turn a world-class 15 into an average 12 - even if he is a better 12 than Havili.
