Highlanders v Crusaders - 2011R05

[AngrySeahorse]

Exciting game so far. Really torn either way despite being a saders fan cause I have really liked the Highlanders play this year.

Would like to see the Highlanders win for 2 reasons: (1) they've done bloody well so far given how they were last year (2) I'd like someone to prove that the Crusaders can be beaten!

Although I do hate Jimmy Cowan...

The Highlanders have already shown the Crusaders can be beaten though this is on past efforts.

"The Highlanders and Crusaders have played each other 18 times and the Highlanders have won just six times. Two of those wins came in the last three clashes and one was even in Christchurch." This is from the link below.

Whats with the hate on Jimmy? I just thought all scrumhalfs are pains in the arses.

"Hate" was probably too strong a word. "Give me the righteous heebie jeebies" was probably more what I was looking for.

When I said "can be beaten" I of course meant "can be beaten this year". I've been around longer than 3 seconds - I'm aware the Crusaders have been beaten before. They just looked so good against the Tahs that I wanted to see if someone could beat them when they're playing like that.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Ah right. Well as I said I know its on past efforts but the form the highlanders have had against the Saders has been consistently getting better than in the past when they virtually lost just about every time so I'm thinking they could upset them this year. I still think the Tahs too could beat the Saders despite getting killed by them recently (I'd reserve judgement on that till TPN and Barnes are back). See what happens 2nd half.

Jeez Reid showed good pace. Great work by the Crusaders forwards

 

[AngrySeahorse]

...and I picked Chris Jack over Reid. The Saders forwards are most certaintly on top, one more Saders try and it'll be all over.

Too right, they never looked like catching him...

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Oh right, Backrow not lock. I wondered why I had that confused.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Jimmy Cowan has his face painted in blood complements of another team mate coming in with a knee at the breakdown - friendly fire!

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Nice try from Dagg but refs missed Maitlands knock on. Hard luck Highlanders.

Thankyou for providing the visual. Looking forward to the force game too.

Same mate. Sbw is a freak. Even in defense he has been spot on but he can do anything. If he keeps it up he could be the best union player in the world one day.


Go the force!!!!
