@Chris said in SR Final: Crusaders v Jaguares:

@taniwharugby How pathetic the theory of bringing the team down who has set the standards.Why not the idea of every team lifting to that level makes for a better product than bringing the leading team down to a lower level
Same mentality aimed at the AB,s by overseas fans of other nations.

What? How is it bringing the leading team down if a team other than the crusaders wins? OK I'm starting to lean towards the hags now...

Chris

@Bones that is not what I mean the talk of it’s good for SR for the crusaders to lose but the AB,s need to win as mentioned above
Is pathetic same thing The AB,s winning the WC 3 times in a row Must be the same thing not good for world rugby they can’t have their cake and eat it too.
Personally if the Jags win all power to them it would well deserved and not the worst thing for SR but not one argument for SR and a different one for Internationals

@Bones You're easily swayed! :face_with_tears_of_joy:

Pretty arrogant to think that if people want a team other than the saders to win they're saying standards need to drop! Maybe the fans need taking down a peg or two... 😁

Chris

@Bones well you aren’t going to do it
I don’t give a flying fuck who you support

@Chris said in SR Final: Crusaders v Jaguares:

@Bones very calm thanks

As long as the crusaders win eh, otherwise the competition standards have dropped obviously. That'd be something to be furious about, especially if it's because of those Canes fans.

ACT Crusader

I’m getting a little nervous...about the Warriors chances against the Knights...

Sorry if his has already been asked, but are you a bonefide Falklands invader @Jaguares4real or do you really just like Argentinian rugby? There's certainly a lot to like these days?

Not Argentinian just a big fan of Los Pumas & ARG rugby

Surprising cos you'd imagine living in a country with excellent Steak and Red Wine would be quite delightful.

The women aren’t too shabby either

Duluth

Good defence from the Jags so far. Very calm.

Kirwan

Two scrums now that the Crusaders have popped up a prop, Jaco plays on.

Donsteppa

The slight hint of frailties in the 2019 Crusaders are there again tonight, Jags making the most of it so far. 3 - 0 to the Hags after 16.

kiwiinmelb

Nice defence by the jags so far , getting up in their face

gt12

Moody has been terrible all night.

Donsteppa

Poor option from the Jags, a nothing aerial chip kick into the 22 loses them 40 metres.

gt12

@Donsteppa

That was Cane’s like stupidity. It’s fake space.

Donsteppa

A finals cliche yet also a truism: it’s been a classic arm wrestle so far.

kiwiinmelb

Crusaders ball security is costing them so far

No Quarter

Bad idea trying to run it out from the 22.

Kirwan

Bridge is like Jane under the high ball.

gt12

Very unCrusaders like with all these handling errors.

Now a bad throw.

Kirwan

That’ll help the nerves!

No one defused a bomb better than Upper Hutts favourite son ( honourable mention to the late Selwyn Toogood )

Donsteppa

Nicely worked forward try. Jags eventually pay the price for not playing finals football in their own 22.

No Quarter

Outstanding try, tight forwards exploiting the space and nailing the final pass. Great to see.

ACT Crusader

Matt Todd excellent.

ACT Crusader

How about that Superman by Bridge

Donsteppa

That Crusaders box kick set-up is signalled by Morse code.

Donsteppa

Great defence from the Crusaders.

Has a test match feel to it , game of inches
