Nz domestic rugby 2020

Wow. So many good things about that try. Thought Taylor had passed the wrong way but Reece had the gas to get there. 20th try in his 21st match, equalling the NZ record previously held jointly by Cullen & Vidiri.

Lovely Hall grubber kicks up into Ennor's hands, 12-3 as the kick fades left.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

JGB pegs it back to 12-6.

CruSadists keeping 'canes in the game with stupid post-tackle penalties. Sir has had enough & gives Taylor the Official Warning.

HT 19-15, three tries to nil.

Well I think the Crusaders were unsurprisingly to good, although the Canes pack stood up a little better than I thought. Will Jordan certainly had a good one, Reece keeps impressing with his workrate on wing, but really no surprises. You could tell there was a southerly wind coming in as crowd avoided sitting face into it, obviously locals knew where to get tickets for.

That was an excellent performance from the Cru, especially some of the support play, which was absolutely top drawer.

^ except for the penalties, yes. Cut those out & they're a chance of derailing the Blues Hype Train.

omfg who was that Kanes Klutz at 5:08 who, with scores tied, 15 to go, casually threw the game away with one of the worst passes in modern rugby football history. wftffs

That was Billy Proctor DP, Matt Proctor's younger (and seemingly stupider) brother!

^ Cobus van Wyk.

In fine form Nisbo got it wrong by calling him Proctor.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ had to freeze-frame the replay but he had 23 on his back.

ScoBar's foot injury may be more serious than first thought, apparently Razor said post-match there's a reasonable chance he won't play any part in SRA. Also said they'd know one way or the other by Friday.

Otoh, Nock's kicking game was highly impressive. Best I've seen from a No 9 in a long time.

Yep Nock is starting to put himself in All Black contention. He nails the basics (speed of pass, kicking, handling skills), makes good decisions and no longer gets rag-dolled physically.

^ Cobus van Wyk.

Apologies, I understand why he did it then, I always thought he carried an awful lot of brain cells that weren't connected to anything!

Only a matter of time til the Hurld has him Nocking on the AB Selectors' door .

~Canes back to being rubbish. The week off will do them good.

Aside from TJ, Coles and Ardie there's no one that looks better than a replacement level NZ rugby player.
