    Super Rugby 2024 General Chat

    I believe he's also the first person to be a pro rugby player, referee, and coach. So you can now wow the audience when that bit of useless trivia appears in a pub quiz.

    Super Rugby 2024: NZ, Drua & Moana matches

    They didn't teach razzmatazz numberings at Onehunga's premier educational institution, so I'm relying on @waiopehu oldboy to crunch the numbers to tell me the mathematical probabilities of the Crusaders making the playoffs.

    Super Rugby 2024: NZ, Drua & Moana matches

    Quinn Tupaea's brother is in the Blues. And his first act is to get absolutely mullered in the scrum. We need this entire debacle to be reviewed by a Royal Commission headed by @Dismal Pillock.

    Round 13: Brumbies v Crusaders Sat 18th 2.35PM @ GIO STADIUM

    Checked in at halftime and the things were fine. wtf are these absolute donkeys up to in the second half?! You have literally one job ffs. Did @Tomikin take up a halftime hobby of conducting a poultry census, or something?

    For a more complete picture, Stern Vern has a 175-91-9 Top 14 record over ten seasons and made the post-season each year. Add in the current Blues season and his pro HC record is 185-92-9. To think there were plenty of smooth brain people online questioning Cotter's suitability preseason and...

    Crusaders hate watch: Mixed bag this week. Highlanders A+. Angus Gardner F- for letting a nonsensical looking try in at the end to improve the Crusaders mathematical chances. Force. Unclear. A Drua win would've been more straightforward, especially as they have 2/3 matches in Fiji. But you lot...

    Off to Eden Park this afternoon. Just had a look at the tickets out of curiosity and only the corners are still available, so should be a big/near capacity crowd (without the upper levels being open).

    The All Blacks are a red herring. The real issue is the Cantab Mafia are panicking after one bad season in ~30 years.

    Super Rugby 2024: NZ, Drua & Moana matches

    I was alluding to the last time the they played and the Blues went with the 6:2 split. They got burned by losing two backs to HIAs in the first quarter, then had to play the rest of the match with a halfback on the wing, which the Hurricanes made predictably easy metres down.

    Super Rugby 2024: NZ, Drua & Moana matches

    As expected. Again, would've preferred Vikena and I believe McWhannell is injured. Or, at least, looked that way at the back end of the first half in Melbourne. Can't imagine why he wouldn't be playing if he isn't. Good to have Akira back. Ditto Sullivan. Lam will be up against it defending...

    Refereeing decisions

    Honestly, just seems like an attempt to neuter the hi-watt Polynesian B-Ball Paremoremo Jailbreak Supermax Murderblitz. For shame.

    Refereeing decisions

    Surely an unforced error (i.e., knock-on or forward pass) ending advantage and causing a turnover will just lead to fewer decisions to run the ball (for risk of a knock-on or forward pass) and more decisions to kick it away for the territorial advantage? At the least you'd surely see far fewer...

    Crusaders (NZ) Rugby Team Thread.

    Super Rugby caps. I got McReight's caps from Wikipedia because the Reds website was not at all helpful. So I guess they're his caps as at the start of the season.
