        that was a lot of back and forward eh.

        Personally, I"m getting excited already. Packed EP, can't wait. Bring it. If the Crusaders are good enough, fair play ... otherwise it's changing of the guard at long last

          Just some fun, but I guess it's not really contributing to discussing the game. I think I've been here for nearly 20 years and that's the first time I've had a post deleted 🙂

          I'm really looking forward to this game - with some of the possible suspensions and possible injuries, the Saders team could be very interesting, plus will Paps be back?

              For whatever reason, calling all of the chiefs players fluffybunnies seems to not be a banning offence.

                The reality is there was no good option for ref really.

                Presumably Williams and Pickerell were ruled out due to being in the respective camps this season.

                Gardner has his issues, Murphy is nowhere near the standard, Way is way too junior (no pun), I don't think Frasier has the big game experience.

                I would give the final to Gardner. No perception of bias then.

                O'Keeffe is originally from Blenheim.

                Anyway, it will get worse when TJ is the commentator with Marshall and Hames. :angry_face:

                  @Bovidae TJ and Kane Hames were a disgrace in the commentary box on Friday, especially Kane Hames who kept referring to people who don't like the Crusaders as 'haters' every second sentence.

                    I don't listen to them if they are commentating. The joy of being able to remove the commentary on MySky.

                        That was super embarrassing. His point was if you don’t like the Crusaders, you don’t like rugby.

                        TJ wasn’t any better, sounded disappointed that the Blues won. Again.

                            Crusaders loose forward Pablo Matera has been cleared to play Saturday night’s Super Rugby Pacific final against the Blues despite his double yellow cards in last weekend’s semifinal and season total of four.

                              Crusaders will be stoked with that, he has been a workhorse this season and well worth the price to bring him over.

                                  Or the ref feed, as these muppets talk over the ref explaining the decision with what they "think" happened.

                                    fuck i hope this game lives up to expectations (not that i'll get to watch it) and both teams turn up and play to their ceiling. And the ref gets out of the way and lets the boys play. Has the potential to be a showcase that Super Rugby ain't dead yet.

                                    I wonder about the mentality this week? Crusaders are in GF week for the 50th time in a row. For these Blues boys it's all new. Leon MacDonald will have his work cut out making sure they don't play the game a couple of days early.

                                      fuck i hope this game lives up to expectations (not that i'll get to watch it) and both teams turn up and play to their ceiling. And the ref gets out of the way and lets the boys play. Has the potential to be a showcase that Super Rugby ain't dead yet.

                                      I wonder about the mentality this week? Crusaders are in GF week for the 50th time in a row. For these Blues boys it's all new. Leon MacDonald will have his work cut out making sure they don't play the game a couple of days early.

                                      @mariner4life I reckon the Blues will be fine. They have the experience of winning last year's final to draw back on.

                                        @mariner4life said in Final: Blues vs Crusaders:

                                        For these Blues boys it's all new

                                        It's not quite the same but the Blues played a final last year in front of ~32k and the game was relatively tight. There was plenty of pressure in that moment

                                        When was the last time the Crusaders played an away final? 2017 in SA I think?

                                          The bigger issue for this game will be the weather.

                                          Forecast looks slightly better than last week but still not great.
