That last Crusaders try was a joke.
Newsome didn't jump to compete for the ball, but then also didn't tackle the guy who landed smack bang infront of him with the ball.
He then remembers that he's supposed to fucking defend, only to get in Hoopers way as the two defending Waratahs essentially tackle each other and give the Crusaders 11 a clear run to the line.

He's not having a great game. His earlier clearing kick was a bit of a shocker too. Think I'd prefer Clark.

Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) on the other wing has been poor defensively as well.
Hunt has been excellent. Harrison has looked solid.

Population of Nelson & immediate surrounds is ~54k, Trafalgar Park holds ~18k in rugby config. You always want to see more bums on seats but it doesn't look like a disaster turnout-wise to me.

Can someone teach our wingers how to defend?
Also, need to capitalise on these shitty Crusader lineouts by going wide instead of keeping it in tight and getting the ball slowed down at the ruck.

He's bouncing off his wing, coming into tackles too high ala Beale style.
Agree re: Hunt. He's running nicely at the seams. Looking for the soft shoulder.

I tend to agree. I find myself enjoying European/English rugby a lot more these days.
It feels a lot more - I don't know - professional? Important? The games have a different intensity or gravity to them.
Super Rugby feels like fast food, Big Bash-esque football.

That scoreline is really disappointing. I don't think it reflects the team as a whole. Actually liking a lot of what I'm seeing. Seems to be some nice cohesion and there is definitely space on the edges that the Tahs have been able to exploit at times.
That poor run return from Beale resulting in a soft try and the highball kick, poor defence from Newsome has really inflated things.

Might be the games you are choosing to watch.
The Premier/Top14 both have their fair share of drab games and for the clubs in the Champions Cup you can end up with some real b-sides put out at times but I get what you are saying generally speaking.
