Fuck sake Jordie. Stupid dinky little pass.

KiwiMurph

Poor distribution by our starting 12

taniwharugby

@KiwiMurph especially when the money ball was the clearer inside one

WillieTheWaiter

Standard draw and pass. That is poos

Canes4life

If I was Razor I’d honestly be tempted to run ALB and Proctor again next test.

Sititi worth investment.....looks good out there.

Shouldn't have picked Jordie as his vice captain in that case

Darth Sader

Been very impressed with Caleb Clarke this match. Busy, energetic and not falling over every time he catches the ball

Space for Clarke.... There were 4 Fijians!

Nice work in close

KiwiMurph

Bell much better outside 2024 Crusaders set up

Chris

The newbies look good
Hotham,Darry,Tosi,Sititi,Procter and Bell has been solid looks great for our depth going forward.

Damo

How far back has DMac taken that. WTF.

Donsteppa

Narawa must wonder what he’s got to do to be on the end of a normal pass.

Finally playing on a pitch that suit his FG boots!

The happiest you'll ever see EdG is when Bell scored. Love the moment he realised he wasn't being EdG.

Catch it, then the pass is fine. He should've had that one

Donsteppa

So 47 - 5 in the end. Best part was to see the newbies do so well.

Game over. Noobs did well, even if only a weakened Fiji

kiwiinmelb

Most of the crowd must be kiwis , Mexican wave going around , I think kiwis are the only ones that still do it

Yeah, very good. Plenty of competition being created for spots.

KiwiMurph

Nice to see Ratima smiling post match

Frank

Midfield was particularly impressive.

African Monkey

@Machpants Pretty much. It was virtually the Drua side out there.

Midfield was particulary impressive.

Yeah ALB and Proctor my two players of the match. Ratima also very good before going off.

Toddy

Watching Blackadder tonight I can see why Robertson is keeping Cane around.

No Quarter

Very clinical performance. EB was the only one I can think of that struggled, everyone else played well really. ALB playing well at 12 was a big plus and great to see Clarke still in form after his injury as he is an absolute weapon down the left.

Canes4life

Fuck sake Sky. Sort your shit out.

ACT Crusader

Proctor reminded me of a young Rico Gear playing centre for the Blues back in the day.

Stay classy chiefs supporters

I get what you mean, I was trying to work out who he reminds me of .

BerniesCorner

Aumua is pressing to start
Sititi needs to start. Savea 8 , Sititi 6
Ratima starts, wonderful to have quick ball.
Proctor starts
Ioane moves to the wing
Clarke is hungry good to see.

Our supply of props is awesome.

For the Razor knockers this team is so much better organized than the previous era. Kept their structure.

frugby

No hurry with Sititi... probably done enough to take the #20 jersey though.

Best part was walking out of the "Kangaroo & Kiwi", and some mehican seems to be setting up a sausage sizzle on the sidewalk. As the bar turns into a shit disco. Friday, 21:40.

Winger

Hotham will be happy with his first game.

Likewise Proctor with a superb game. Along with ALB.

Newell is limited apart from the scrum. Shame that he and Tosi can't be combined
