And my favourite Referee Ben O,Fukwit,useless,Crap

KiwiMurph

Sunwolves could be in for a serious touchup here. They look awful.

Stargazer

Awesome kick from Ioane.

Chris

Well according to Ken Laban we are witnessing the greatest front Row ever to be seen so the Sunwolves are doomed

Yeetyaah

Fuck me dead I picked the Sunwolves for the upset. Feels bad.

Chris

My biggest wish for this game is O’Fukwit gets mistaken for a Highlanders player with that shirt and gets smashed

Stargazer

One year ago (or was it two?), there were people (including in the media) saying that Faddes should be an All Black. I didn't see it then, and I certainly don't see it now. Why isn't Josh McKay playing?

Chris

@Stargazer yeah don’t understand that I rate McKay he has impressed every time he has been given a chance
Who touted Faddes being an Allblack on here his Mum and Dad

Chris

Laban you idiot a try ????

Victor Meldrew

Can't make out whether the Highlanders are on fire or the Sunwolves are just crap...

Stargazer

Bs call from O'Keefe. If anything, the Japanese player obstructed Walden.

Chris

Sunwolves are crap

Chris

Li just not a finisher

Stargazer

If the Landers don't switch off in the 2nd half, it's going to be a monster score.

Chris

Is Coltman the 3rd best Hooker at the moment he has got to be pushing Harris Hard

Victor Meldrew

Am I the only one who wishes Smith wouldn't point out to the Ref where the ball is in the ruck at every bloody ruck... ?

Victor Meldrew

@Yeetyaah

Yeah, there's been some nice touches from the Landers players

Yeetyaah

Forward pass off the tap and go 😂. Holy fuck.

Chris

Wow Mark Hammett a scrum guru excellent Laban

Chris

Well done touchie pointing out to O’Fukwit that was a knock on as he would have no idea

African Monkey

@Stargazer It was about 2016 when Conrad Smith left and we didn't have a stand out centre and he had a blinder against the mighty Kieron Fonotia which seemed to get a lot of people excited haha. To be fair a lot of players names were getting thrown around at that time.

Chris

@African-Monkey Yeah I remember that game The best centre the Crusaders never had a shocking recruit that one

Chris

What are you doing Sunwolves

Victor Meldrew

@Chris

Yep. Crazy decision.

Mind you, I'm loving the Sunwolves' fans' wolf-howls

Chris

This game tells me Hayden Parker may not be the answer to a WC 3rd First five if we need one

Victor Meldrew

Some nice touches from Josh Ioane tonight. Def one to watch.

Chris

@Victor-Meldrew Yeah me too makes me want to find a wolf mask and drink beer

antipodean

Jesus Li, learn to not do low percentage shit. You don't have the skills.

Hard not to look good in this fixture with such dominant forwards. But he certainly has shown some real promise tonight. Lots of good decisions well executed.

Stargazer

Haha, Ash Dixon looked almost shocked by having so much space in front of him and very keen to pass it to Thompson.

antipodean

Great angle from Dixon and the pass from Aaron was perfect. There's two players who can pass that well, one did it and the other is playing for the Blues.

That's what's impressed me. So easy to try the fancy shit when your forward pack is dominant and you have Aaron Smith at 9 - he's kept his feet on the ground.

antipodean

Li hurls the ball away again. If he was in my team I'd have thumped the prick by now.

antipodean

This is looking terrible for the Sunwolves.
