Crusaders versus Hurricanes match thread

 I am relying on your commentary Beeno as I am taking care of family business

 JW I have been distracted answering the foolish atheists. Man they are so silly the mind boggles.

 The old crusts are leading 17-14.
I would think crusts will win this.

 Poor defence from old crusts on Savea almost leads to try. Still 17 all 

 Crusties take lead via a penalty. 20-17.Not much going on.

 Its staelmate. Not much creativirty from backlines. Dan and crotty look toothless.
Now we have blowhard breakout.Canes score.
Both packs look flimsy.  Can nz find enough forwards to compete in the world cup is the question.
Keiran reid weighs 110 kg these days. he look slow and loafs. the other serial loafer is Ndalo

Kiwi forwards are so powerful that they sometimes negate each other 

 Blowhards score nice try. Crusties in big trouble now. hahahahahahha

JW the Crusites have frot centers. Crotty and Dan! What a pair to have to start with!They needed to keep Fruen one of the best in nz.

 Beau injured. He has had a good game. Hope its not serious.
NZ need every good player they have!Fortunately carol jane is okay!

Err Beeno , according to Planet rugby  there has been some astounding rugby played. I am beginning to doubt you objectivity

 Lot of ineffectual netballing JW. If you want rugby of this type a great example was the recent Lions/ Cheetahs match. This is not really in that class.

 Barrett out with knee injury according to planet rugby, third AB down so far this weekend.

Beeno of course did not report this, is o ut hunting dinosaurs again?

 Ndalo - what a loafer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He camps out on the wing and does zip to help his side.
Nothing in it really but someone had to loose. Crusties big weakness is center. Then tell Ndalo he has to get busy!!! Also get Read to lose some nz Lard. He is a lightweight loosie and should remain so. 
Thankfully that could be the net balling over for the weekend?
Bulls /Lions and Cheetahs/Stormers should be good matches!

 I said Beau was injured J . Wakey wakey!

  Good that kiwi teams have shown others how to play the game of rugby with skill& imagination. Of course the mighty Chiefs will also demonstrate this. Are any SA teams playing this weekend? Hopefully they haven't given up after the sharks debacle

 Rebels almost score and chiefs commit red zone infrongement  -iyt happens like clockwsie!
Second red zone infringement by wee chiefies under the pump - give em a yellow ref!!

 I watched the first half and the last 20. Crusaders kicked poorly and a lot at that to boot. They looked better bashing it up close to the breakdown,  but handed over possession with poor kicks time and again. Canes has been my fav NZ team for a long time now. I love their running approach,  but they had a lot of luck going their way this year. It would be good for them if they can win the competition this year, but I have a feeling their luck is going to run out in a crucial knockout game.The Saders seems to be less than a shadow of their former greatness.  Carter done or still warming up?

 Car ter is no center!! Why waste him there. Shows that cupboard is bare re centers Draad.

 Great defence by Rebels. Verey intence stuff!

WHAT A LUCKY SCORE BY CHIEIFIES.Ou brycy puts down his gun! Hahahahhahaha
