Re: Crusaders vs Hurricanes Match Thread

Canes have to score here Nothing unpredictable there. Glad I bet with my head and not heart. Scrappy arm wrestle in horrible conditions. For the Crusaders, glad they showed some fight. Heinz is a liability and plenty to work on. Aim for 5-6 wins and making the 8 will be a brilliant season. Not sure...

Must say 13,000 here the crowd is really impressive for a pissing rain and cold evening. If it wasn’t for the Pinot I’d be freezing inside.

Just met Colin Mansbridge and had a chat which was nice. Reckon we should have 9-11k crowd in tonight. It’s stopped raining but it’s bitterly cold southerly and around 7c outside.

It's a long season yet anyway. Under this format so far qualifying for the finals has required 4 and 5 wins respectively. I still back us to at least get that.

Tbh, I'm comfortable with a poor performing season this year. We've lost so many great players, and then had another terrible injury toll. Eventually this will catch up on our performance.

Apart from Grace and Reece and even those are close, I'd struggle to see anywhere the 2024 team is stronger in the starting XV.

No they didn't, they finished with five wins and missed the top eight. Assume you mean 2022? Crusaders could lose eight and still win the competition, that goes without saying. Ah yes, I did look at 2022. Still you can lose 9-10 games and still make the 8. Even if the Crusaders scrape in I think it...

Re: SRP - R4 Highlanders vs ACT Brumbies

I expect this to be a close game and wouldn't be surprised to see the Landers take the win. The teams are equal on 9 points on the table but the Highlanders are slightly ahead on PD.

Should be a cracking game of afternoon rugby under the roof regardless.
