2018 Super Rugby Final Cantabs vs Lions

[zer0]

It's the final. Doggedly defending an unbeatable lead seems a bit OTT, I think. Fortunately it didn't yield any injuries to test players.....

This Crusaders triumph has me concerned for Dismal's wellbeing.

Classic Marshall fuckwittery - "Decent head clash between 2 tight forwards, that won't faze either of them. Well, actually Moody is receiving attention"

So, tight forward skulls are supplied with internal dampers so brains don't accelerate / decelerate and lead to concussions. The guy is a Grade A twit.

he's such a fucken neanderthal. I seriously had to turn the volume down to near inaudible levels just to dampen his bug-eyed screaming

haha, QH, watching that I was just trying to fathom how many light years awaay the Blues are from a perfomance like that. Defending for 10 MINUTES inside their own 22? Other team with 72% territory? THATS A PADDLIN.​

"Oh fuck, Blues dyke wouldve burst there."​

"No way a Blues player wouldve gotten up to make another maniacal tackle there."​

"Cantabs have punched it up from under their own posts about 200 times in a row and havent dropped it fucken once. Ofa wouldve dropped all 200 of those, stone cold."​

"2 minutes under the kosh under their own posts, no way the Blues keep any sort of alignment on D there, ffs, they dont even talk to each other let alone play for each other."​

In all seriousness, the Crusaders are a seriously good rugby team. Well done on their victory.

Scary good.

 

[tragic]

Unfortunately the outcome would probably have been the same if the wallabies were the opposition tonight.
On the bright side I saw a cracking no.10 score 8 tries in the local U9s today so we might be ok by 2030.

Mildly irritated that the cantabs won, but they play so well you have to tip your hat to them. And Scott Robertson seems a class act too, his breakdance celebration says it all. A very well coached team

Scary good.

Apparently straight after the game a player went up to Razor wanting to know his plan for achieving a three-peat. Be afraid, people, be very afraid.

BTW can we please stop referring to them as Cantabs, the days of the Crusaders being the Canterbury NPC side in different jumpers are long gone, these days there's a good-sized contingent of Tasman Mako players in there & a couple from further afield: Aussie Mike's next gig is Manawatu, Goodhue's is Northland. Thank you .

I remember from my school days that the surest way of keeping an unwanted nick name is to complain about it.

Lol yep tragic, and I saw a real bloody cracker 10 playing GPS rugby for TSS yesterday, unfortunately the rumour is he off to Crusaders academy next year.

No, too much going on at work & home unfortunately.

Looked more like Tana Umaga to me

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Nice to see they made sure Croczilla was part of the post-match celebrations:

Ah shame, odds on them having a home final next year though.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^^^^^ with ~15 AB on the books & next year's priority being a RWC three-peat I think the non-AB are going to be playing a lot more minutes than they did this year so I'm not so sure about them being odds-on.

Fair point, although the Red jersey seems to transform everyone into world class players.
