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...

Re: Crusaders vs Hurricanes Match Thread
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.

Re: Crusaders vs Hurricanes Match Thread
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.

Re: The best new and returning TV series of 2024?
Without judgement I had never seen Band of Brothers so I aquired it last night and after enjoying Masters of the air I will look forward to BoB next.
Cheers for the various recommendations

Re: The Crusaders 2024 Thread
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. And then who knows, I don't think anyone would like to face us at that time of season... This is how I look at it as well.. Away games in J...

Re: The Crusaders 2024 Thread
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. I was already resigned to one in the pre season. I don’t get the whole media beat up over here but I guess it’...

I was at that game, although as you say, I couldn't see a bloody thing so you'd hardly know it. The only thing I remember making out reasonably clearly was Laulala bursting over for his try.

Re: The Crusaders 2024 Thread
Just for interests sake anyone want to do a head to head?
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.

Re: Crusaders vs Hurricanes Match Thread
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...

:( You can look gloatingly across at me shivering in the south stand. Best stand to be in with a cold southerly blowing though.

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.

I’ve just found “Snowfall”…… it’s not new and I’m sure it’s been discussed here at some point. How did this escape my radar? I’m not yet finished season 1 (of 6) and so far it’s excellent. It has John Singleton’s fingerprints all over it so there’s that going for it as well. It’s not in the league ...
