@nzzp said in Crusaders v Blues:
Reece and Mo'unga are liabilities on defence. Lots of arm tackles
While at first glance that seems kosher, if Jordan and Havili are too, how are the crusaders so successful with over half the backline being leaky?

They leak points these days? I mean, they are good, but missing tackles is a real issue.
Just seen the Havili yc. It's reasonable, but marginal. Have to release, but that's also not as quality a carry add it should be

Compare that to the Blues sporting the likes of Eklund, old man Romano, Goodhue, Lam, Lay, Choat and Heem, none of whom would have been required in Super Rugby's hey day
You mean in the glory days of Corey Flynn, Ross Filipo, Con Barrell, Sam Broomhall, and Adam Whitelock? All those players you named are high quality at Super Rugby level. Lay was very solid for Bristol in the UK Premiership.

Great answer. About as well reasoned as your original post, or your classic "Akira Ioane couldn't make the Canterbury team" posts.
Share some of your great knowledge some time though. Please do. They'll probably be such great posts that they make the Crusaders win that game, or their players look adequate at test level.

@stargazer That seems pretty accurate.
I think Cullen Grace is worth a mention - prominent with ball in hand and made metres off the back of the scrum when needed. He looks more like an AB this season than the year he was picked. Even with several loosies ruled out there's going to be one or two unlucky guys when it comes to AB selection.
Newell caught my eye with a couple of powerful surges near the line when he came on.

Grace doesn't have enough 'X Factor'. Write him off -

Jesus Barrett S just went for it. Insanity. Could have pulled out of that
How did the refs miss these red cards in real time?
Christ, ScoBa should get 8 weeks for that. Filth.

So Nepo should have got 8 weeks, too?

I love this revisionist fuckwit garbage you post, expecting other fuckwits will swallow it.

6 weeks for sure. ScoBa had time to pull out. Both insane in the modern game

@shark Ah, so butt-hurt that you can't even manage the haughty and drawn-out strops you threw when the Chiefs won the championship and you became immensly upset that everyone viewed Rennie as a better coach than Blackadder.
One loss and the Blues squad is so inadequate at this level they can't possibly have won.
