    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="crusadersfan" data-cid="583008" data-time="1464250587"><p>Proves my point, the Crusaders would certainly be the most consistant side in Super Rugby and also hold the most titles.<br>
    The Canes are known as a very inconsistant team and are the only NZ team to not have won a title.<br><br>
    I am not saying that the Canes are a bad team, they can beat any other team in this comp when they play to their potential the problem is getting them to play to their potential consistantly.<br><br>
    Last year was by far the best they have played and they were worthy finalists but they are not replicating that this year so far</p></blockquote>
    <br><br>
    It doesn't prove your point because the Canes are playing the Highlanders (who lost to the Reds and Blues THIS season), not the Crusaders in their golden years.<br><br>
    You are saying the Canes won't get close because the Highlanders are such a consistent team. They are no more consistent then the Canes, both this year and in their entire Super rugby history.

    <p>Not really, because you started off by saying that you were talking about their consistency since the start of Super Rugby. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Edit: In general, I agree though. From a short-term look at their performances, the Highlanders should have this.</p>

    A lot of late money on the highlanders again, they've gone from $2 outsiders to $1.87 favourites in the last 30 minutes

    <p>After 10 minutes of playing in the 'canes half in wet conditions, you want to have picked up some points.</p>

    I'm concerned about A and B Smith playing in the rain, for the good of the All Blacks they should really be subbed early in case they catch a cold.

    Also, that was an awkward looking left handed pass from Fekitoa. He has a lot of work to do on his passing game.

    <p>Fekitoa as well.  He is going to be essential to the AB mid field this year.  These Highlanders have a roof, they aren't used to this bad weather.</p>

    <p>TRY TIME.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Is that a try? Something must be wrong, it just looked too crazy.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Sheilds seems to have placed it?? Did Ben Smith kick it back?</p>

    Jane looking good early.<br><br>
    Harsh penalty there I didn't think that was tackle ball.
