That was sensational!

That's simultaneously out? Not sure why the commentators are so confident.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Me after hearing the no try decision.....what a game, what a finish.

 

[ACR]

Bullshit.

 

[qwerty51]

Poor decision not to cut inside by Osborne, would've easily waved off Dagg racing across. Or even stretch out a little further, would be heavily criticised in league for that scoring attempt.

 

[swingpass]

Why oh why did he throw the cut out pass

 

[cyclopath]

What a final few minutes (well, the whole match really, but especially the last few mins) - unbelievable defence from the Crusaders, great pass from Smith, great tackle Dagg. Wow. Did Brumbies no favours with both teams leaping past them on table.

Nothing wrong with the cut out pass. Dagg wasn't within 10m of Osborne, 9/10 wingers cut in there and score easily.

Best game I have seen this year! It had biffo, agro, niggle and was played like games of old. Only thing missing was proper rucking.

Dagg seems to have lifted his game, just as the international season beckons.
Highlanders still got 2 points out of it, so still in with a final top 6 place chance.

Wow, how close was that call. Honestly wouldn't have whinged (much) had it gone t'other way. Bad luck Clan but I'm now liking your chances of snatching 6th off the Brumbies on BP's.

Only one game but is Fekitoa the answer to the question "WTF do we do when Conrad hangs 'em up?"

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Forget beer I need a full bottle of straight JD after that. Chiefs/Canes potentially could be a cracker as well.

Yep.

Only one game? If he can make every single one of those tackles in which he rushes out of the line for, yes. An unpolished diamond perhaps.

probably but if passes to the next its two on one and DAGG comes in or stays out either way leaving room

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Barrett to Savea, Savea excellent run, then Andre over. Try Canes!

Yeah, that's what AB training camps are for, knocking off the rough edges. Don't forget that Nonu used to be shite on D, forever getting beaten on his inside shoulder but holy shit Andre Taylor finishes off a Savea bust, 7-0 in Wellywood.

Anyone know what's with the names on the players shirt fronts? I'm guessing it's tied into the Plunket logo they're wearing but are these the names of real kids or just random names? Or maybe the players own kids/nieces & nephews etc?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Another long-range 'canes try, Franks finishing off out wide, Barrett may struggle to add the extras as it looks to be a tad windy. It's good if wobbly, 14-8 after 22.

NZ teams seem to be hitting top form......damn yoooouuuu!!

The rugby watching this weekend so far has been enthralling.

Canes on fire at the Tun across the dutch. No cowbells tonight.
