Re: Crusaders vs Hurricanes Match Thread

Geez, how are the Canes not leading this by 25.
Reckon the Saders will be happy with that half given they have given the Canes a lot of opportunities...

Re: Super Rugby 2024

The thing that impreses me this year? 3 weeks into comp and only one undefeated team, Aussie teams no easy beats etc. Isn't this what we want? Bloody great! Too right Dan!

Re: Crusaders vs Waratahs Match Thread

The Crusaders were the worst of the NZ teams over the weekend. Our error rate was appalling, and our passing lacked cohesion, the ball being passed high, low or behind the target more often than not. Our lineout was sub par and overall we lacked cohesion, particularly in attack. Our two baby halves...

Re: The Crusaders 2024 Thread

Jonny McNicoll returning to the Saders for the rest of the season… Good signing given the options available. Pretty difficult to sign an internationally capped outside back mid season. The question is now where does he fit in? Signed as cover for Will Jordan so I guess 15 is his position, handy pla...

Re: Super Rugby 2024 - Round 1 - Rebels vs Brumbies - 7.35pm AEDT, Fri, 23 Feb

Brumbies too good as expected, disappointing performance form the Rebels given their circumstances or maybe because of it, either way, they’ll need to be far, far better than that, otherwise they are gone and that is fuxking sad.

Re: Super Rugby 2024 - Rd 1. Chiefs Vs Crusaders

I’ve got no expectations of a Saders win this weekend or in fact a triumphant season, feels different this year so hopefully I can just sit back and enjoy the rugby without any kind of nervousness or anxiety taking over and ruining the experience, if that makes sense?

Good luck to both teams today.

I originally thought the Chiefs would take this by 13+ but the closer it gets the more I think the Saders might take it based on nothing more than my bias.
