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

Live footage of Razor and his coaching crew inspecting the troops I mean players before departing for The New Tinpot Lancaster Park on this, The Morning of Manifold Untold Destinies.....

What's the capacity of the stadium?

 

[The Red Baron]

Evil empire counter ruck school is in session from the very start.

What's the capacity of the stadium?

About the median number of fingers on a Canta*rians hand.

 

[zer0]

Also is it totally kosher for a player in a defensive lineout to just immediately rush behind the lineout taker once they've claimed the ball like Tuipulotu did? Seems like a dangerously simple-but-effective defensive lineout tactic...

Back to getting reamed in the locks if Darry is out again. gg.

 

[zer0]

otoh, 15 mins of ~1% possession and no tries conceded is a nice start.

EDIT: Allegedly 71 tackles in the first quarter lmao.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

71-2 tackle count after 15 mins was a wee bit of a wft.

Cantabs resuming their gleeful molestation of Bleus shaky lineout.

 

[zer0]

idk why the Blues attacking plan is seemingly 'just kick it and see where that takes us' but it's really killing my vibe.

Dalton's YC upgraded to Red. Game over?

 

[zer0]

They've got the card timer transition wrong. The match clock is 48:10 with the yellow time at 4:28 remaining when it disappears, but the match clock keeps rolling. The red timer appears 32 seconds later at 48:42, but the timer is at 15:58, when it should be 13:56. i.e. they've incorrectly added an extra two minutes. Hopefully this is just Sky being incapable of simply adding 10 minutes to an existing countdown...

Fuck me why has Nic Berry been given this? At least it means he’s not doing the Tahs v Rebels

 

[kiap]

Nothing doing with Mounga this time...

Saders good for their lead though

 

[Quicktapsonly]

When does Fletcher Newell return from his toe injury?

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Total set piece disintegration reduced Blues to trucking it up into traffic inside their own half. Right into the fresh-as-daisies Cantabs who didnt have to make a tackle until the 2nd half.

LOL@Loss Bleus.

They make me sick.

I hate them.

I hope NONE of them make the AB's.

 

[Ignoto]

There's something so satisfying watching Akira and Reiko lose.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Loss Bleus have now lost 30/42 rugby football matches v CruSadists including 17 of the last 19...

LOL I may need to re-title the thread "... inevitabilis effectus".

What say you @Dismal Pillock & @zer0?

Edit: was just about to jump back on & say @zer0 would probably give this the "I See Nothing" & I had no clue how @Dismal Pillock would react...

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

When does Fletcher Newell return from his toe injury?

Next season

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

@zer0 & @Dismal Pillock preparing for then watching a Loss Bleus v CruSadists rugby football match be like...

... & how appropriate that Lucy's wearing Blue
