Irish beat the Kiwis twice in 2 years & are entitled to celebrate

The Irish fans had become unbearable before they beat us.

that's why our underestimating them and sending an under-strength shit team to throw away that legacy gave me the absolute shits.

I thought @Jaguares4real was saying that the Pumas (a.k.a. Jaguares) won't be at full strength either.

The Chiefs won in BA so surely the ABs can. 😉

Between Mr Touchline kicks are easy and Mr Lots a caps and emojis it's difficult to decide who to go for in this game.

Probably have to be the Saders. Will always support a NZ team over a touring national team.

Hansen almost deserves a lifetime "rock under the beach towel" for that one...

Yeetyaah

Holy shit seeing all the non cantabs supporting the Crusaders this weekend is crazy. I would have thought they've become one of those teams that wins too much so you support any team against them. I'm supporting the Jaguares tomorrow night and I really want them to win. But I know deep down that the Crusaders are most likely going to be too good.

I reserve the right to remain neutral. Could swing to Hags if they play some enterprising rugby, or vice versa.

@Nepia In a just world Ireland get dumped out of the RWC in the quarters again. don't make it out of arguably the weakest group in the tournie. [fixed this for you - ed.]

A foreign team over a kiwi one? Hell no.

@Donsteppa Get back to me after the jokers who run the NZRU orchestrate losses to Italy and Japan.

I understand it's convenient to now mention JaGuArEs ArE a TeST sIdE now they've starting winning

Crusaders only have 15 All Blacks in their match day 23 when everyone is healthy plus two soon to be capped ABs in Ennor + Reece

Maybe the Jaguares are playing All Blacks dressed in red......

@Yeetyaah

It's surprising to see Auckland, Waikato Otago fans etc supporting the Crusaders tomorrow night

I;d though local rivalries would supersede everything else in Super Rugby and Club rugby

Good luck to the Crusaders....

Not that you will need it, you've been the best team in Super Rugby these last three years by a country mile.

Not by a country mile this year. Too many losses, and a rather too tight semi-final to claim that.

Pretty much why our international team is so strong, we are country first then club. Some exceptions, but that’s generally true (looking at you Hooroo)

The funny thing about that , if there is a group of supporters least likely to support other Nz teams , it probably is the crusader supporters , north island teams anyway
