Just watched the 2010 throwback game and damn that try given to the Saders at the end is one of the all time worst decisions I've seen

Lol if you go back on most games over the last 20 years, the Cantabs always got the rub of the green.

Wasn't there a shield challenge years ago where a great Lions team got hosed, and Ben Blair got to save the day at the end?

Yep fcking Steve Walsh, hang your head in shame.

Justin Marshall took out Jason Spice when we were hot on attack?

And then he carded the wrong guy. Definitely drunk.

It's a bloody miracle any team has managed to beat the Saders over the years, what with the refs being in their pocket and NZR secretly paying players and buying houses.

Got to throw in the extremely occasional loss otherwise it looks dodgy. Even a horse should know that.

Canes in their away jersey in Wellington

Canes in their away jersey in Wellington

Which ironically creates more of a jersey clash

The Canes should have worn their home jersey - maybe a potential change at half time?

Is Kirifi big enough to play 10?

Clinical from the Crusaders forwards ..

Excellent from Crusaders

Worrying signs for the Canes

Good to see LF at least is pretending he might get lifted this week.

You can still see some red and yellow on the jerseys anyway - so it's hardly a jersey clash then

That came from an LF "pass". Got to be the ultimate illustration of rocks and diamonds at the moment.

Good hit back from the Canes

Really enjoying this game

Playoff intensity

Kemara is very quietly going about being an extremely important cog in this crusaders team. Shit he tidies up a lot.

As Havili pumps it dead.....

Risky kick from Proctor cripes

2nd turnover won from LF

Havili is busted man

Canes ruck retention is shit

If LF was on his feet there, I'm a professional rugby player.

That turnover was totally illegal tho

Crowd has noticeaby filled in from kickoff

Doleman lyfe

2nd turnover won from LF

Poor work by the cleaners. And I'd have penalised LF for having a second go.

Lester is playing well....

The way Lester is going I wonder if Quinn Tupaea has ever played 7

That's what I thought too

Hopefully we can hammer the holes that Lester is leaving in the line closer to the ruck

Oh fuck off Doleman. He fucking put his hands on the ground then had to shift to the ball! It's right in front of you

Leicester - as in the city.

I can see him playing a hybrid role off the ABs bench

There is some atrociously aimless kicking in this game.

Poor from Iose

Some of the kicking by both sides is very poor

Yip horrible kick and hope...lacking purpose or the skill to execute

@KiwiMurph said in Hurricanes vs Crusaders:

Poor from Iose

Have we not learned from the Rova incident that pushing passes is hazardous?

Hotham would be dangerous if he could kick

Fuck that's rough on Kirifi

Roigard over playing it as well (kicks)

@canefan needed to stay on his stomach
