SR Final: Crusaders v Jaguares

Rancid Schnitzel

Sorry if his has already been asked, but are you a bonefide Falklands invader @Jaguares4real or do you really just like Argentinian rugby? There's certainly a lot to like these days?

@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

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

Hmmm... I don't know a heck of a lot of saders supporters but most of the Canes supporters I know aren't supporting the crusaders this weekend...

@Bones Is that sour grapes because they feel like they should have won last week? (genuine question)

The result was irrelevant. It’s all down to overpriced and limited food and drink choices at the caketin.

@Jaguares4real Yup me too haha. I hope you guys can pull it off as I would never support the Crusaders in a million years despite living in their territory. Should be good fun watching in with my Crusaders mates though haha go the Jaguares!

Bones

@Stargazer nah they reckon they're bored with the crusaders winning all the time and want something different. Of course it's different if it's the ABs... 🙄

@Bones seems to have been the theme on talkback this week...Crusaders must lose for good of super rugby, but ABs still need to win

Chris

@taniwharugby How pathetic the theory of bringing the team down who has set the standards.Why not the idea of every team lifting to that level makes for a better product than bringing the leading team down to a lower level
Same mentality aimed at the AB,s by overseas fans of other nations.

He may not know what the Falklands are. I spent a year living in a town in the south of Argentina close to where some of the action happened. Most of the people there genuinely did not know the name Falklands. The are Las Malvinas.

And in case there is any doubt, Las Malvinas son Argentinas.

What? How is it bringing the leading team down if a team other than the crusaders wins? OK I'm starting to lean towards the hags now...

Chris

@Bones that is not what I mean the talk of it’s good for SR for the crusaders to lose but the AB,s need to win as mentioned above
Is pathetic same thing The AB,s winning the WC 3 times in a row Must be the same thing not good for world rugby they can’t have their cake and eat it too.
Personally if the Jags win all power to them it would well deserved and not the worst thing for SR but not one argument for SR and a different one for Internationals

Stargazer

@Bones You're easily swayed! :face_with_tears_of_joy:

Pretty arrogant to think that if people want a team other than the saders to win they're saying standards need to drop! Maybe the fans need taking down a peg or two... 😁

Chris

@Bones well you aren’t going to do it
I don’t give a flying fuck who you support

Bones

@Chris said in SR Final: Crusaders v Jaguares:

@Bones very calm thanks

As long as the crusaders win eh, otherwise the competition standards have dropped obviously. That'd be something to be furious about, especially if it's because of those Canes fans.

ACT Crusader

I’m getting a little nervous...about the Warriors chances against the Knights...

Not Argentinian just a big fan of Los Pumas & ARG rugby

One of the few Tier 1 Nations that are not polluted with Foreign players and Mercenaries

Surprising cos you'd imagine living in a country with excellent Steak and Red Wine would be quite delightful.

The women aren’t too shabby either

Duluth

Good defence from the Jags so far. Very calm.

Kirwan

Two scrums now that the Crusaders have popped up a prop, Jaco plays on.

Donsteppa

The slight hint of frailties in the 2019 Crusaders are there again tonight, Jags making the most of it so far. 3 - 0 to the Hags after 16.

kiwiinmelb

Nice defence by the jags so far , getting up in their face

gt12

Moody has been terrible all night.

Donsteppa

Poor option from the Jags, a nothing aerial chip kick into the 22 loses them 40 metres.

gt12

@Donsteppa

That was Cane’s like stupidity. It’s fake space.

Donsteppa

A finals cliche yet also a truism: it’s been a classic arm wrestle so far.

kiwiinmelb

Crusaders ball security is costing them so far

No Quarter

Bad idea trying to run it out from the 22.

Kirwan

Bridge is like Jane under the high ball.

gt12

Very unCrusaders like with all these handling errors.

Now a bad throw.
