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

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ Christie a major upgrade but where's Nock? Thought I saw him in the sheds pre-match & assumed he was a late change on the bench.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Card. Ref even says he flipped him past the horizontal. Card all day long.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Possibly the moment of magic I was talking about earlier......

The Crusaders may well win this match, but I consider TJ's mastubatory monologuing about how the Crusaders grim reaper-esque forwards were going to win the match at will with such terrifying destructive power that they will destroy Alderaan as a by-product, and put Genghis Khan to shame, while, in reality, they were trundling backwards like a gaggle of drunks in Cardiff at 3am on Sunday morning to be an absolute win for the Blues universe.

Yeah looked a card to me. What was he thinking? Cost his team the game either way.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

See ya Ofa.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Game. Over.

See ya in the GF, Loss Bleus.

Reece you diveball diving wifebeating shithead. Fucking dickhead.

Miserable fucking afternoons viewing. The huge Blues pack outmuscled. Cantabs too professional. Blues game management was garbage. Crying shame that buckshot-brained Ruru is the Blues fittest player and at halfback is involved in every single bloody thing and has NO FUCKING IDEA what he7s doing.

"Hey I've got no idea what I'm doing so I'll just do the thing I've seen the kool kids on telly do and pitch up another laboriously slow 33rpm boxkick in the 45rpm world and forfeit possession as the fucking thing goes all of 10 metres upfield"

ffs fire this cvnt into the sun

Christie and Big Red a great impact. In Ranga's We Trust

Some good moments I suppose, Eklund 2 tries and suplex = boomfa that one cantabs

Now I'm biased af, but I think Clarke facing backwards makes it look horrendously forward live (which I was also sure it was). As it is, I wouldn't say it's clear and obvious in either direction so could only ever be that the officials decide on-field. Fortunately for the Blues they awarded it, but really should've been looked at by the officials rather than the Crusaders having to ask and lose.

Don't even know what the discussion was on that pass, the ground markings proved it was backwards.

 

[Dan54]

I fully expect "Ethan Blackadder" to be pregnant with Akira Ioane's octuplets by the end of this game.

Ethan sends his greetings, and wonders if you could pass them onto Akira who had to leave game early to give birth!!

Didn't seem to be as many scrums in second half as first which, if not a figment of my imagination, might explain why the +9 HT lead that I thought was possibly insufficient turned out to be enough & then some. Mo'unga will no doubt get MOtM but for mine it's Codie all the way, SRAo POTY for sure.

 

[Dan54]

That was a proper intense game, wonder if the O Black myth may of taken a reality check tonight, he a bloody good player, but I think at this stage this is his top level.

Yep WOB, I agree Mounga was bloody good, but by geez Codie is the man at the moment(and not just because he a Levin boy)

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ Perofuture myth copped a few dings, too.

I'll beg to differ on the "not just because" bit. Already mentally convening the next "All 'nua All Blacks" selection committee meeting

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

How good to see players still out there when some of them would obviously like to be elsewhere & fans allowed out onto the brand spanking new turf. Even the security gorillas seem to be pretty chill.

Aren't you the Chairman?

Well I thought so, but didn't want to appear I was assuming anything.
