Lakai best for canes, only one who is really annoyed to hold his head up

Eh disagree - until that break he's been average

Yeah, he's been very blackadderish this season.

Realistically the Hurricanes lost that game long before Enari and Tuputupu took to the field.

Why the hell would you go for the lineout drive? An area the crusaders have consistently bossed them at throughout the game. So stupid

Tuputupu and Enari seal the deal. What a fucking mess

They really did. It would have been a bit of a crime if the Canes stole that. They were woeful for the majority of the game.

Yep. Canes need a clean out

Lol so instead of Preston the Canes have Enari

You do have to laugh at that. Enari is not SR standard.

Can’t even beat 13 men….

Those 13 men almost beat themselves. Messy once a few players go off the field that’s for sure

Crusaders deserved winners.

Canes have too many thick idiots in the forwards. Walker-Leawere last week, Tuptupu this week.

How do you not score multiple tries against 13?

Ask the Blues. They know the feeling, except for 20mins and not 10

The ref got shy at the end there and missed two obvious Yellow Cards against the Crusaders. So many professional fouls in the last five minutes.

But given how bad the Canes were, I doubt it would have mattered.

I remain unconvinced that this Crusaders side is actually any good in regards to winning this competition. They have some great individuals who won them that game, but their general team play on attack is shit. They did finally show some proper grit on defence, and they are one of the better sides in this comp, but they don't look like an obvious absolute threat to win this competition to me.

Laidlaw out.

ACT Crusader

Some injury/HIA forced subs early in the game but then it got all a bit messy with how the bench was used.

Don’t know why JOC was left off for so long but yet Bafoon was bought on way too early.

After a great last season this year has been poor

Canes4life

Too many NPC level players in this team.

Tucker, Enari, Hohepa, Shields who’s passed it, Tuputupu. Just really bad recruitment and once we got hit by injuries to start the year a lot of these second stringers just aren’t up to it.
