If we win tonight it will be Miracle on Ice shit. Verses will be written about how the good guys did the impossible against the evil southern empire. It will be one for the ages.

Saders by 20.

We are going to get wiped. But if there was ever a time for the ghosts of the fog final to do us a solid.....

@shark
Plus Blackadder was a fucking horrific selector of outside backs in particular. Playing the likes of Rob Thompson on the wing, Nafi Tuitivake, Tom Taylor at fullback, Carter at 12, selecting Kieron Fonotia etc etc. Bloody awful.

Yeah they were horrific selections :fearful_face:

Proctor and Lowe into starting side.

@Canes4life Somehow I expected the Canes to copy that Lions trick with Proctor. Surprised to see Lowe in the starting line-up though.

@Stargazer you will be happy. A chance on the biggest stage. Hope he goes well.

@Canes4life A bit tough to get his first SR start in a semifinal, and against the Crusaders, but yeah, of course I hope he goes well, too!

Just saw on Fox sports the Crusaders are 22/22 for home finals. That is some record.

It’s a bit of a hospital pass really. Hope he’s not too underdone.

The flip side is that everytime we've gone into these games with a predictable line up we lose. I hope he can be a pleasant surprise

Agree with Marshall for a change ,

Canes need to hang onto their ball and build phases

That kicking style of jordie's... jesus

Good little break there from Smith but no support which is surprising for Canes attack.

Scotty Barrett with a good tackle and then drive through.

Assume we're trying to keep the defense guessing with the aim of creating a bit of space later in the game. Agree it's never a very successful tactic.

Sweet pick up from Sevu and to keep his feet was nice.

Bloody insane stuff from the Crusaders.

Writing is on the wall already

That's hilarious.

They better not take Nahoko to the RWC, or even 4N. If you want danger at 14, that’s him.

Bridge doing himself a few favors too - very BFA like under the high ball so far.

Fuuuuck canes need to hold on to the ball more man.
