Hurricanes vs Crusaders

Super coach undone again when he doesn't have the ref on his side. Test rugby is going to be interesting.
But dumb by both sides to keep playing after the hooter wasn't it? Was there any benefit to either team?

Crusaders have really struggled with injuries this year. I would say they have over achieved. When you look at other teams who have had an embarrassment of riches…

Well I bloody enjoyed that, was a fun game I thought.
And to the ones whinging about Coles, I say I got no probs if you see him and Taylor laughing after the game etc, you realise that is just how they wind each other up. You must of been in absolute tears when you saw the likes of Fitzy and Kearnsie play, they were expert at it!
Will add that I liked the look of Chapman for the Crusaders.

@Winger Typo that's been carried forward?
Just look at him - he's not a huge lock, but he's not ridiculously small.

I’d start Sullivan on the wing next week. He was brilliant coming on at the end there. Really shut down Lester like Sinkinson couldn’t.

Sullivan hasn’t had as much time this year as last - when he was excellent. Love his work rate.

@kev the Canes have had key guys out for the whole year. We’ve almost been the opposite to the Crusaders and getting guys back at the right time. (For once)
If Cam Roigard wasn’t in the All Blacks squad, he surely played himself in there tonight. He pisses all over Christie.

@Chris-B Blackwell looked taller than Flanders, so someone is telling porkies with their height.

No he didn't, and look/is distinctly shorter than saders locks. He's a short lock, and I doubt he grown this season

That's one of the funniest things I've read this year. Thanks.

Sinkinson was disappointing again. But overall a win against a weakened crusaders
Cameron makes a big difference at 1st. I wish love had been given more game time. Lineout was not great in the first half but after whitelock went off it was fine.

Without injury Love would have pushed for ABs this year. I really rate him.

I fear that players like Roigard getting in this year will really benefit the next coach and Fozzie isn't interested in doing that unless he really really has to.

Jamie booth, useless
If Roigard goes off early next week the Hurricanes are fucked.

Lovely try. Canes win, I’ll take that momentum into the playoffs.

From an ABs perspective Holland devises some lovely attack from set piece.
Top, just hope he only had half a vote on selection and no vote on when to put subs on

@Bovidae 100%. Booth is hopeless.

He'd be starting the season behind Mo'unga, Barrett, Damian McKenzie and Stephen Perofeta, and that's without considering guys who aren't first five/fullback utilities like Shaun Stevenson, Will Jordan etc.
Maybe next year Love would be in with a chance but he's not yet proven himself a great Super Rugby player, he's still quite a way away from Test selection.
