Rebels vs Crusaders Rnd 12 Super Rugby 2012

[wilful]

It's not 250%, it's 150%.

If it was 3 weeks, it would be 50% more, if it was 4 weeks, it would be 100% more.

but yes, it is definitely inconsistent.

Perhaps I saw it in normal % ratio terms, viz: 5/2 = x/100 .... x (as %) is 250 ... 5 being 2.5 X 2

Did Kingi get injured last week?

I don't recall that.

 

[en_force_er]

I would rather see Mortlock run at 15 rather than Hux.

I know it's not his natural position but it's not one he's unfamiliar with either.

Hamstring strain at training.

Mortlock wouldn't last the full 80. Better serves the team as an impact player off the bench, tbh.

If anything you'd have Mortlock on the wing, Gerrard at FB. Doubt that though, considering how well Mark has been playing.

Apparently one of the biggest crowds expected, pre-sales bigger than any other game.

Plenty of Kiwi's in Melbourne and every Kiwi's 2nd favourite team is the Saders (plus a lot of other people too).

Ahhhhhh.....some of us hate the Crusaders. Do you know how un-kiwi I was deemed to be as the only guy standing in my local, cheering for Phil Waugh and the Waratahs in 2008 (was it 2008?).......ABC my friend, ABC....anyone but Canterbury!!

Cheers, can make a nice tune from that.

 

[Bullrush]

You're welcome

I must say however, that since moving to Aussie, I've become a lot more patriotic.....I still can't bring myself to like Canterbury but I'll support them against most other teams now.....except the NZ teams, and probably the Brumbies, Cheetahs, Force, Rebels, Lions, Sharks....and maybe even the Stormers....

 

[biggsy]

If the rebels play the way they did against the Bulls and also have a good look at the way the Reds played against Saders,They have a great chance of causing up big upset.

But If Bryce Lawrence is the Ref, well there fucked....

Beale Had a better 2nd half at 10, 1st half trying to make something with every pass and 2nd controlled himself and played great.. JOC (James O'Connor) wont be missed to much andnbeale has stepped up to the Mark and I think JOC (James O'Connor) will find it hard to get his 10 jumper back

And therein lies my point!

Interesting perspective though, I suppose it does make sense for kiwis to hate Canterbury but once they move overseas the us-against-the-world attitude emerges.

Obviously this isn't exclusive to Kiwis, but there are a heap of you over here.

 

[Lee Grant]

The Crusaders are rotating some of their players out of the XV and even out of the 22.

Talk about choices: they had fewer injuries than most other teams to start with and, apart from the odd dirt-tracker that I might have missed, they now have everybody back.

 

[FiveStarStu]

Apparently one of the biggest crowds expected, pre-sales bigger than any other game.

Offering discounts on group bookings, MCC members, and to people attending the Tigers v Swans match on at the G at 4pm. Good to see them throwing everything at filling the joint.

 

[Gnostic]

Like I have said so many times the Crusaders are favoured by refs, simply because they infringe with purpose at speed. When the opposition does the same thing they look guilty doing it.

The scrums again are rubbish. Crocket has taken down the first two and dropped the bind and Blake was penalised exactly the same as last week against the Tahs.
