Crusaders vs. Hurricanes

[Rapido]

That's a great plug to the corner by mouga.

Gardner has definitely been poor and this has largely favoured the Crusaders. However, one difference between the two teams is that the Crusaders have applied more pressure. Beauden has done a grubber kick and a crossfield kick (the latter under penalty advantage) when we have had the ball on attack. The Crusaders have looked to grunt it up and this has resulted in two tries.

We've made breaks only to let them break down with handling errors. I don't see the energy levels high enough to suggest a comeback

[Machpants]

Jeez and I thought beaudy was the worst kicker on the field tonight

[ShadowTrooper]

Defo not the Canes night...

[Donsteppa]

Ihaia West continues his earlier season form with a comical clearance.

[KiwiMurph]

Yeah...Blues were holding West back....haha....

[gt12]

Goodhue looks every bit an AB. Good at 12 and 13 in all conditions.

[Donsteppa]

This sums up my tipping season... "Aha, the Crusaders are missing a few All Blacks so the Canes should do this"....

[Damo]

I think it's a knock on.

[canefan]

He called a collapsed scrum. Weren't we going forward?

[No Quarter]

That "knock on" was the same as the last try. Inconsistent reffing.

Yep, your Crotty AB replacement right there

[Canerbry]

WAAAAH that was backwards.

[antipodean]

So from what I saw 8 detaches, then the scrum collapses, 8 picks up the ball and runs into his own scrum. Gardner thinks this passage of play is a penalty to red.

He then says it needs to be a collapse on the line to be a penalty try. FFS

How's that red wine treating you?

[Canerbry]

@no-quarter Yeah good cheers. Nanny Goat and Dog Point Pinots tonight. Got a Two Hands Shiraz for afters.

I’m somewhat convinced that he’s better than Crotty right now.

[Crucial]

Man this thread is the biggest rugby whingefest in ages. Refs and players conspiring to make a dogs breakfast?

[No Quarter]

I've only been watching the 2nd half but it's been comical stuff from the Canes tonight. They've blown hot and cold all year, Saders good enough to make us pay for it.
