Brumbies v Crusaders Super Rugby Round 9

[waiopehu oldboy]

CruSadists 12-13 putting in their best shift for the season & Mo'unga now looks like he belongs in Super Rugby.

Sorry, I'll use smaller words next time.

Nah mate, just stop acting like your average internet troll...........

It comes off as desperate.

 

[Slim 293]

If the Brumbies are the best Aussie team. OZ rugby is soooo far from NZ rugby

The Rebels are the hope

Neither look like going too far if they make the finals........

Rebels currently sitting top of the ladder with a minus points differential.

Well, it has been a slow afternoon. But I'm hardly desperate, I just like going hubris-hunting for fun.

Yeah but is the current status of Aussie conference. Neither (Tahs, Rebels or Ponies) are a guarantee against the best NZ sides in playoffs

 

[Marcelo]

Well done, Ben!

 

[Slim 293]

I've been saying all year - the Brumbies would be a better team if they field some forwards in the backline.........

 

[Marcelo]

Tryyyy by Tomane!!!!

 

[Marcelo]

What the hell????!!!!!

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Codie Taylor got some serious wheels & what a pickup from Havili.... 33-14.

 

[Slim 293]

That pretty much sums up the game........

Similar to the chiefs match - turnover = try.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Crusaders as usual have gone up a gear in the 3rd quarter, Brumbies haven't really gone with them.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Finishers starting to come on: Ellis & Mo'unga have both been excellent, now it's up to Drummond & MartyMac to steer the ship home.......

MartyMac score pretty much first touch, 40-14 & game over.

 

[Marcelo]

Chiefs vs Crusaders, the grand final

 

[Blake]

Chiefs vs Crusaders, the grand final

One of those teams will top the table, the other will come 5ths.

So Chiefs vs 'saders in round 15 looking a pretty important game.

 

[Marcelo]

Pretty nice! You are losing by 30 and you kick the ball away...

 

[Slim 293]

Again, the major difference between NZ and Aus teams..........

They get a turnover, make a break, support play - score a try.

We get a turnover, make a break, no support play - turnover.

 

[louie]

That was really bad

 

[Marcelo]

Again, the major difference between NZ and Aus teams....

They get a turnover, make a break, support play - score a try.

We get a turnover, make a break, no support play - turnover.

The main difference is that the ITM Cup is larger than the NRC.

As Slim says, another example of the gulf between aussie & kiwi teams. I suspect its going to be a long dark winter for the wobblies too - any delusions of this being our year for the bledisloe have been dispelled, and it will require a significant improvement to beat the unwashed northerners as well.
