Waratahs v Crusaders

[Canes4life]

@KiwiMurph Read was way over the top trying to push Grace’s claim for an AB jersey when they played the Chiefs the other week. Grace hasn’t done anything this year. Him and Gardiner have been average. Lio-Willie’s far more energetic.

[Canes4life]

@Machpants one of the dumbest moments in Super history.

[Yeetyaah]

Ayo someone send this to the Crusaders real quick

@Canerbry honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a disfunctional Saders side. It’s bloody odd.

Razor seems to have that Klopp quality how he takes average/good players and makes them look great in his system. And once they leave Klopp's side to go play elsewhere they suffer what looks like a shocking drop-off in form but in reality they just finally play to their actual level.

Matt Dunning makes sure the Tahs don't make the finals.

[Duluth]

Tahs have won 3 of the last 4 against the Crusaders

In the last five years it’s 4 Tahs wins out of 7 matches

SBW is coming across a lot better now

We are playing some dumb arse rugby this season.
Sure we have lost a few great players but there is enough SR experience in that side to still be playing much better.
The Crusaders need to flush Penny and a few players who are not going to add much .
Build the team again next year they still have a decent base to build on to.

Find a top coach and the rest should (maybe slowly) fall into place. And Ellison isn't a top head coach. Good assistant but that's all.

I hope the Crusaders have a few lean years. One team always winning is boring

It is boring for the Losers.
We will be back not this year but by 2026.

Crusaders are less than the sum of their parts. Coaching staff problem. Blackadder and Reece were bloody good though. Have been a constant Grace supporter but this year hasn't brought the biscuits.

[ACT Crusader]

Two B grade sides that have porous defence, make far too many mistakes and threw it around a bit.

Even if we won that, it still would’ve been a poor game.

Missing a decent 10 that can steer the team around. Plus we’ve had quality experience which you need around those average players to get the most out of them. And without Barrett or Whitelock or Mo’unga, we haven’t got much out there.

[Ruginmel]

@Machpants he kicked it at 80.01 shows it on the feed.

[Ruginmel]

@Canes4life could hear ref say right before kick, he needed to make the shot clock, not leaving him much time to kick it over. I'd be blaming the restart and intercept that lead to the penalty

[Tim]

Check out the first Waratahs try. How lazy was Grace? Worst defender in the competition.

[sparky]

@Tim Absolute lazy fluffybunny. I don't want to see him anywhere near a Black Jersey until he fixes this massive flaw in his game.

[African Monkey]

Cullen Grace to Blues fans is what Akira Ioane was to Crusaders fans circa 2019 haha.

Was that pass from Reece on the inside when he was going out in the lead up to the Lio Willie try not forward?

Good game that, the Tahs have been in some great contests this year. We'll played both sides.

[DaGrubster]

@akan004

Good point, although he did kick it once the clock was red on the screen.

[DaGrubster]

@African-Monkey

I can’t see Grace adding much to the All Blacks based on what I have seen from him this year.
