Match thread

@Mattasaurus unfortunately for the Crusaders no other angles an elevated camera would have told a story

Victor Meldrew

Both Roigard & Hotham have been good tonight. Bodes well

That's a horrible throw!

canefan

Tuputupu is a liability. Marshall points out Doleman has stuffed up. Saders didn't compete so throw didn't need to be straight

@LABCAT

It was. But should have been play on. Ref is incompetent.

Victor Meldrew

Canes controlling the game well

canefan

Marshall standing up for the Canes again.. crusaders win a penalty illegally

Doleman needs a rules refresher

antipodean

WTF is Meg on about now? I'm 99% certain the rule was changed you couldn't kick the ball through to the oppositions line, but could back to your own?

canefan

Come on Reuben, cut out that cross kick shit

@brodean who would want to be referee ?
the official seems to be the talking point during and after every game

canefan

JB runs very upright, doesn't seem to fully commit to hitting the line

canefan

How many intercepts so we concede? Too many!

antipodean

Who fucked up to let Proctor take the wrong defender that time?

canefan

The needless intercept put us down there. Oh wait, that's not a try

No way is that a try? That’s ridiculous.

canefan

TMO getting a hotdog?

Yeetyaah

Doleman sucks

Bones

Loved the replay of Springer not diving on JB. No definitely not.

Doleman is putting on quite the red and black display today.

Yeetyaah

@canefan can't come in unless called upon right? Regardless Doleman is still shit.

@Bones said in Hurricanes vs Crusaders:

Yup. Barrett had both knees on the ground when Springer dives on him.

Bones

JB looks like a blindside playing second five, LF looks like a centre playing openside. What a pair

Torian

David Havili match fixing....

canefan

Thanks Dave. On your bike mate

Why do NZ rugby players kick the ball away? Dumb

Yeetyaah

In his 150th hahahaha 149 too many

antipodean

Who has had a worse game tonight? Havili or the TMO?

jimmyb

Wow Havilli. What the fuck

That sums Havilli this evening congratulations on 150 x games but definitely not his best work

KiwiMurph

Havili you deadshit

Poor Havili, had almost as bad a game as Doleman. I said right at the beginning he looked out of his depth. And he just got worse. I don’t usually complain about the ref but he shouldn’t be at this level.

Congrats to the hosts
Crusaders need to be holding the ball as opposed to kicking it away
Reihana needs to start he’s your 10 that got you a championship last year
