I find it unfair as a Blues fan we have to listen.to Blues Crusaders games with Justin Marshall . He is not bias

Deadtigers

I don't understand the FTB. What has to happen for the blues to make the semifinals. Of course beating the Crusaders is route one but what are the other routes Highest ranked loser goes through, so if all the home teams win, blues go through to a semi vs the canes for what ithimk would be the 5th l...

I can never keep track of how this works these days. What scenario gives that result and why? Hurricanes crush the one trick ponies. Cheats crush the banana benders. Crusaders FTB. Hurricanes v Blues Cheats v Crusaders. Simples Ooooh, so there's a chance??????? Blues crush the perennial chokers Che...

I haven't watched these weekends games but the loses to the Saders and Canes tell me this is a one and done playoff appearance. Th young backtowers have promise but no Pops and a misfiring Hos are a problem. And I am not really wowed by Segner, I know many are. Its our Front row minus Ofa that is th...

Sorry for my absence work and life been killing so I decided to come back home Very sad to hear about Saufoa. Reminds me of Haiu. These days are are in peak physical condition but cancer dont give a fudge. I am not excited by Holland. I hate ex Crusaders at the Blues, it hasn't worked and they take ...

Surprise Liverpoll fired Slot. Not sure who they will go with. Liverpool value the system over the manager and I dont pay attention enough to know who else runs a high press system like that, maybe the Leeds Manager?

Thank god, Arsenal didn't win it. They had a good season but I am still not sold on Arteta. I felt Pep choked away the title this time not so much they pulled away but then again they did their part and kept winning so maybe he deserves credit.

I didn't know Paps and Sotutu were leaving but it makes sense. They can't make the Chiefs Crusaders combined side called the All Blacks. Sotutu is understandable. Papali'i was a confusing omission when a player like Du'Plessis Kirifi was getting picked. Robertson was not just a poor Coach, he was a...

Don't watch the Blues v Crusaders unless you like soccer.

Blues vs Crusdaers was a great watch.

Deadtigers

I am talking about since it went from 5N to 6N. I havent watched every game but the rise of a competitive Italy and Wales being competitive again made the last two rounds incredibly exciting.

I will of course watch good versus evil but what other match should I watch?

Some hats being eaten or are we doubling down?

Put the crow pie in the oven on a low setting. Lets see the lads go to Ireland and win. They lost in. Italy barely survived in Wales. We will see.

I couldn't believe this game. I hate these guys for making me believe. My Townsend out thread is aging like milk in the sun!

The working class Irish would have the most influence as they had the most regular contact with blacks in the mines, fields and downstairs of homes.

I am waiting for the Irish to come explain it all cause I don't really understand it.

I dont know if this made news in Ireland but in the US, Canada and Carribbes, people listened to Gould speak and started connecting the Irish role in the transatlantic slave trade as indentured servants and mine workers and how they helped developed the Jamacian accent. What I can't connect is the C...

Brainless at the end. Trying to play the clock down too far out was always going to end up giving the ball back. Should have pinned the Ponies back in their half by playing the corners. But 5 successful crash ups and you don't a box kick? At least do a rubber into the corner and make the ponies go ...

Deadtigers

I watch the 8 minutes or more package. I can't find a 20-25 minute package but I want to see line breaks that amount to nothing and kicks to the corner where the throw is white or they screw up the maul. Which highlights we talkin about, the 15-30 minute ones or the 6 minute/3 minute YouTube videos?...

Deadtigers

Normal football highlights show you lots of close shots and give you a feel of who was dominating for periods of the game. Rugby it is moves leading to tries of made kicks at goal. It kinda sucks.

Deadtigers

Can you point me to the pages that discuss Razor being let go.

Wasn't that last week?

Do you want to know the result?

Oh.. is this a hindsight thread? Apologies...

Yeah I am in the USA and live a busy life so usually watch like on a Monday or Tuesday night at 1130pm

Which game this week. I am leaning toward Canes vs Moana or Chiefs and Landers

Borthwicke will need to find some answers. The team defense was poor. I know wingers don't really win MotM but I thought Balcouyne was so involved and did so much. It was but of known names to give it to JGP. JGP didn't get it just because he was a name. His performance was absolutely key and facil...

Watched the Evil Empire vs the Clan last night. Great game of rugby, brilliant tries. Will Jordan makes things look easy. Not surprised the Clan couldn't ice the game with a minute left. Very uncrusader like to not draw a penalty and make the kick. Must be the rust.

Edinburgh's backs and attack coach Scott Mathie will leave the URC club at the end of the season, the latest exit in part of a backroom staff shake-up. Edinburgh need a prober shake up.

Last year when England played Ireland, it was a similar back row. I forgot how as there instead of Pollack but the goal was to create chaos and the breakdown and try and force turnovers at every chance, denying JGP clean ball. Let's see if Farrell has learned from last year. Ireland won last year!?...

I am not a Segner fan. I would take Chiate over him. Cheated is undersized but is more dynamic to ke. Segner is this coach favorite that never plays with his hair on fire.

Well that is horrible. I said it about Maro Itoje dealing with his mom's death. I have extra sympathy for athletes having to grieve while in the public eye playing
