Terrible weather but an interesting game and crowd.

Someone needed to knock the ground announcer out though, he was punishing.

As Auckman alluded to, the ground held up really well given the downpour.

Is it true that the referee team were all from QLD and all grew up wanting to play for the Reds? Another depressing game in what has been a pretty depressing season. Now I know how normal , non-Crusaders following Super Rugby fans feel? I loved how the Reds were granted a try where the ball clearly...

Just finished watching the game. It's one of the joke Kiwi teams, but an away win is very nice. Thoughts: 1. Best game I've even seen Wilson play. He's very fit and is pulling off big plays in rapid succession. 2. McReight is the key to the Reds making a run in the finals. 3. Good from Thomas and C...

He is a part time 10 and looked it.

One of the weaknesses of the Crusaders is their blind faith in their loyal sons.

It was a mistake to appoint Blackadder, and it was a mistake to appoint Penney. If they've learned anything from the earlier appointment, they'll relieve Penney of duty at the end of this season.

One of the best alpha dog moves Razor could do would be to list Ioane as a winger in his first squad of the season.

I hope he does it.

Given the application of the laws these days, my advice to any budding young tyro is to let the ball carier run past you, then make a low percentage attempt at an ankle tap.

My nephew has withdrawn from the team and will focus on boxing training and his mountain biking this winter instead.

So, obvious results. I remember the coach from my youth. A thousand yard stare and a mouth that hangs open when he isn't talking. Moron.

Another kid lost to rugby.

My 13 yr old nephew wanted to play for a combined side in Mid Canterbury junior rugby. He went to practice tonight sporting some of the kit of his home club, one of those making up the combined side. The adult coach questioned his kit, telling him he needs the white shorts and socks of the club the ...

Good to hear you are still with us Kiwias.

But as always two sides to any story and we only see one here

I'm not suggesting that as a viable option which is why I declined to name the two club sides involved.

jdogscoop

Yeah some valid questions being asked here, which is why I have not named club names from the get go.

Take the win and especially keeping them naked. Wasn’t pretty. This. Despite playing shit, and missing 2 of your top 3 players, with another going down early, still put 31 on the Highlanders and didn't allow a point. That's decent. Highlanders are proper gash, and not just tonight. Im not reading i...

Sack Dermody NOW. No fvcking idea. No clue.

Terrible news in my home province this week as a young Senior A player died in a workplace accident on a farm. His club is one of the strongest in the local Canterbury country club competition. His team arranged a get together at the clubrooms as a way of dealing with their loss. I am told via relia...

On advise from his lawyer. They wanted to make sure they would have grounds for a mistrial based on him not being able to receive a fair trail due to the car chase causing prejudice amongst potential juries (it certainly worked on you). While not the kind you mean there was a conspiracy of a kind b...

jdogscoop

They've openly said it was revenge for Rodney King. An 11 month trial and they deliberated for less than 4 hours ffs. The Brown and Goldman families deserved better. Absolutely. OJs blood was everywhere. Socks found in his room had a mixture of his blood, Nicole's and Ron Goldman's, for fvcks sake....

jdogscoop

I watched every minute of the court case live at the time. And despite OJ seeming a smug narcissist... something always felt off... like why wasn't the scene full of his blood? Why wasn't he covered in injuries? So wasn't surprised they couldnt convict... The scene was full of his blood. It was als...

Interesting if true... OJ Simpson didn't kill Nicole and Ron. It was his son, Jason. https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/s/lz2G7UeD31 Yeah, seems that chestnut's been dug up and spun around by tiktok zoomers, whose brains are about as cooked as any facebook uncles I worry. I watched every min...

I don't think this is true. I've seen interviewers with jurors in which they showed an impressive grasp of the details of the case, and appeared to have taken their job very seriously. It's probably fair to say that the jurors (all black if I remember rightly) would have looked at the case through ...

jdogscoop

Never understood the criticism of the prosecution and making Simpson's "dream team" out to be geniuses. Jurors openly admitted to finding him not guilty as revenge against whitey. OJ could have represented himself and got off. I don't think this is true. I've seen interviewers with jurors in which ...

jdogscoop

Without patronising anyone, OJ was guilty as hell and the jury - black or white - were mouth breathing morons to a person. I believed he was guilty as sin as soon as I read the facts of the case way back in 1994, before it had even gone to trial. But I have never heard the side story potentially im...

That last line out throw ? I honestly don’t think I’ve seen a worse one . Well done Tahs - deserved . I have no confidence in any of the Saders hookers. Core skills are wank. Taylor’s fine . Bells getting there . Taylor's fine, just not sure when we will see him. My despair is mainly directed at Be...

Keep the tears coming. It’s good to let it out. And don’t the Tahs always beat the Saders? They’re basically their bitch. I think you've forgotten the Highlanders are actually my team. Are you a Stan commentator? Yes. I’m that new bloke that replaced Drew. I haven't noticed you but that doesn't mea...

jdogscoop

One of many shits. The Tahs are f**king aweful, but the crusaders are worse. No doubt the Aus media will trumpet yet another new dawn for the Tahs like they did round 2 or whatever. Needles to say the Tahs will be shite again next week They're celebrating like they have won Super Rugby in the after...

Neither of the Bell brothers can throw and neither can McAllister, it seems. Have NZ hooking stocks ever been lower? I mean it's great when forwards can run great yards around the field and make awesome tackles. They are generally called flankers. You also need guys to perform core skills like throw...

Was busy buying a place in Auckland bro.

Still a proud Cantab / Landers supporter though.

jdogscoop

The difference being that Bell is only 21 and has time to fix it, like Aumua is starting to. Next WC cycle he's 25, just coming into his prime, there's plenty of time. He really shouldn't be starting yet at all. Oliver had plenty of time too, until he didn't. I find lineout throwing is a bit like g...

jdogscoop

Agreed that Bell is a real talent. He clicks all the boxes and gets around with a high work rate. Having that kind of pace and a step to go along with it is a serious bonus. Reminds me of the wraps Oliver used to get from people who ignored his poor core skills. The difference being that Bell is on...

The Bell brothers cannot throw darts.

Sort it out or fudge off, the pair of you.

I was there. The Saders look listless and are not well served by a professional hooker who cannot throw darts. Havili should not go close to another All Black test in a very long time, while I'm not convinced Penney is anything more than yet another in a long line of favourite sons given the coachi...
