Who was it that distributed to the backs from that nicked lineout before the Jacomb muff?
McAlister IIRC.

Can't see Parker playing test rugby again.
Looked to be running in quicksand and missed his defensive assignment on several occasions.

Real credit for Crusaders coaching shifting Leicester to 7/hybrid
With conservative decision making a disease in NZ rugby - good to see some bold moves.
Well the French did it with LF. Though I can't see him ever starting a test there, though will make for great bench player.
How bloody good is Sititi playing, he was huge tonight!

I can. Our 7 depth is a paddling pool
@KiwiMurph with him playing well there, I think it has helped a couple of others step up their game as well.
Not sure what the answer is long term but they’ll keep riding the wave whilst they can I guess

The fall off of Ratima needs to be studied
Agreed. No excuses when you’re behind a forward pack like that either. Think he needs regular starts, perhaps all these bench cameos are messing with him a bit and can’t get into a rhythm.

He's just not as good as Roe at the moment. Coach has no choice.

For me he's beginning to make a case of being picked as a specialist 7.

Reminds me of Jono Gibbes

His form has been on the slide for 2 years

That’s Reuben “Bledisloe Cup winning captain after 5 long years of the Aussies having it” Thorne.
At least Thorne hit a ruck or was in the vicinity!
@Canerbry said in Crusaders v Chiefs:
Death, taxes, and @Nepia whinging if the commentators suggest any Crusader is playing well.
Awesome win, class players dug hard, the Pavlova is a bit of a cauldron.
Death, taxes, and @canerbry riding in on his stead to defend anything tangentially Cantab related.
Others played well, not just those two particular Crusaders and the one particular Chief.

He must be getting close to it. If the Saders make a run and win this thing and he continues to play the way he's playing? For mine he's a definite in the game day 23, most likely on he bench for a 6-2 split.
Well done Crusaders, you just can't count out the best Super franchise of all-time even when they're not at their best.
