Crusaders v Blues a.k.a. NZ's festum odii

[Brumbieman]

Blues just got shafted there.

 

[Brumbieman]

Am I the only one who was hoping one of those two would snap and duke it out?

 

[LeCheese]

Game on.

 

[Wilson]

Well worked by the blues, but the crusaders have gotten away with murder not copping the repeated infringement yellow here - there were two penalties called in two rucks in that play alone

 

[Brumbieman]

Yup, a professional foul is just that, even if the team with advantage scores. Its exactly the same with collapsing the maul - professional foul so you're eating cheese, yet the maul becomes an automatic 7?

The old 13 to 15 may just be the end of Blues.

Only if CruSadists can force set play after set play after set play & so on. If it stays fast & loose Loss Bleus will win this.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Take. The. Three.

 

[zer0]

Get the dirty bastid' off! That were diabolical!

And so on and so forth.

 

[Wilson]

He's dropped that cold

Or Blackadder has done amazing work

Doesn't it still have to be lost forward though? There's no doubt he dropped it, but that's not conclusive evidence to me that he lost it forward and not just downward.

Also. Bryce Heem should be the starting 12.

It does have to be forward and it wasn't the most conclusive evidence (looked forward to me though), but overall for mine you invite the knock on ruling every time you drop the ball and you've not really got a leg to stand on trying to argue straight down in a situation like that.

 

[Wilson]

Should be another yellow here

But of course it's not given

 

[Wilson]

Crusaders just too smart for the blues, it doesn't matter how much talent they bring to the party

You say that...

Richie McJesus would've willed that crooked ball straight and that would've been that. But here we gooooo...

 

[Derpus]

That was an absolutely terrible call to end it. Knee was clearly on grass.

Crazy stuff - Blues dropping it over the line twice. Dayum.

And yet...

 

[Equalizer]

Crusaders found Richie McCaws old cloak of invisibility hanging in the back of the closet and have dusted it off to see if it still fits.

 

[zer0]

And yet...

tbf relying on Doleman's incompetence to carry you home on the final play isn't smart. Richie would never have allowed it back in the day.

 

[Dan54]

That was as tight and good as I had hoped, as a neutral I was holding my breath!

 

[zer0]

Was still a good game regardless.
