Re: Super Rugby 2024 Pre-Season Fixtures
Well I guess the Saders will be happy with the result in the end. Decent 2nd half. Once they got their structure going and their transition attack working, there was only going to be one winner. Springer and Bell were very good, Heinz consistent as always and Reihana looked calm and collected. Sayin...

Re: The Crusaders 2024 Thread
Bloody sad news that Halfpenny looks to miss most of the season before its even begun.. Somebody should have told him to ease himself into Hakaing, I bet the poor guy got over excited and went full Haka, you just don't do that. :( I'm not sure he's the full penny at times you know. True, true.

Re: Dupont's law and its flaws
You have to retreat until your put onside?? Isn't that the law? Always thought it was but apparently you only have to not move forward, while the fielding player either passing or advancing 5m puts you back on even if your own players haven't reached you yet. It definitely needs to be fixed. Have t...
