SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) 2022 - NZ & Drua matches with no match thread

[Dismal Pillock]

Wild and woolly last 2 mins, about 10 possession changes. Meanwhile in the NH its stop and pod plop to run out the clock.

^ LOL there was me screaming at the telly "go to ground! Recycle! And again! Now kick the muthafuka out!" for most of those woolly like a Siberian mammoth last 2 mins.

CruSadists currently top of table with a game in hand but Brumbies only a point behind & yet to play Drua. So realistically second with a game in hand after tonight. Not bad. Not too shabby at all.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

F*** me what a game!!! That was great!
Have to say I was stoked even though Canes lost

If the graphic was correct that's the first time CruSadists have beaten Horrorcanes after trailing at HT. Thought you might like to know that, stat man that you are

Finlay Christie a late scratching, Nock starting. Recalibrate boom chaka lacka meters, Mr Dismal.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

That's Yellow.

 

[Sully]

Shoulda taken the three, Ardie. No point blowing up now. Just suck. It. Up.

It was the wrong decision. The Crusadist were always going to have a go at the lineout.

 

[zer0]

Definitely the best opening, and general period of play, the Blues have put together since the opening match. Just need to sustain it for a whole match for once...

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

"Rieko looking for the offload" isn't something you hear every day...

Edit: and Rieko giving an offload isn't something you see every day.

Nice bit of playmaking from Eklund for that try. But agree with Muliaina (I think it was) that Sotutu should've carried off that scrum before passing. His speed off the scrum and passing skills are such that it really should be a near guaranteed try from that close off a solid platform. Matter of fact, I can't recall him carrying cleanly off the back of the scrum at all this year.

Sotutu is a Rolls Royce player who needs to learn when to play like a Toyota Hilux.

idk wtf is going on at these breakdowns tonight but it's entertaining. Everyone just trying to murder each other.

I know a place where such a transmogrification can occur. Think Ron Cribb. Think Norm Maxwell...

Classic cynical Crusaders smh

 

[zer0]

Always been a fan of this goal-line drop out malarkey.

 

[zer0]

lmao

Ali. Williams. Sonny. Bill. Williams.

Safe word is Stephen Brett. OK that's two words but it's also a proper name so still counts as a safe word. I think.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Gripping 1st half. Just torrid stuff at the breakdown. Not a femtosecond's space in terms of securing and resecuring possession of the rugby football.

Blues in the shit now with 13 but, as for the first half, Dear Chiefs.....

 

[Dan54]

This is fun again fellas. Blues going well, and Chiefs stuffing up a few, but that can be from pressure. Couple of good games today so far.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Liking Jon Lord. He has an oddly low centre of gravity for a tall fella and seems to genuinely enjoy fuckign peoples shit up. Like BBBR used to.

These young locks really need to be entrusted with regular test rugby instead of NZRFU feathering the tenured beds of yesteryears men who are now running on fumes.

Na mate I was yelling at him to go sideline, you still have to get kick just for extra 10 minutes. Try and win game!
