Mighty Crusaders secure top spot

The mighty Crusaders demolish a very good Highlanders team to clinch top spot with a round to go.

Seemed a bit out of sorts in the first half but still managed to take a handy lead into the break.

Thinks started to click and eventually ran away with the game in the 2nd half.

Congrats to Wyatt "Croczilla" Crockett for bringing up an incredible 200 super rugby games and doing it in style with a 70 minute preformance.

I know everyone on here supports the Crusaders and loves our victories but a special thanks to Beeno for his undying support for the 2nd best rugby team in the world behind the All Blacks

Congrats. Amazing consistency. The best Southern Hemisphere franchise ever. No wonder New Zealand always have great test teams when they have such a good domestic game. 

Yes, congrats to the Crusaders! An excellent team that are back on top after some mediocre years under Blackadder. Of course the mighty Chiefs are still in it

The kbbs load the wee crusaders, giving it a break only once in a while so as not to over do matters. in that year they load some other side.

So congrats to the wee crusts and their in pocket refs!

Well its true the kiwi teams are loaded but thats what happens when you have so much talent available. SA and Australia stuggle to field 15 top level players let alone 23 where we can stack 4 teams to the gunnels and still have severasl left over to give to the Blues.

And we do this while we compete against 16 when we play SA teams, I suppose we are just lucky thas the rand is only good for wiping your ass's on so you lot cant bribe the refs as much as you used to. Rugbys not so much fun for you oaks now you dont have the refs on your payroll is it

South Africa's best players are largely in Europe and there are nearly 300 or so South Africans playing outside of ZA. 

Congrats Sader, but please don't overdo your humility.

Draad the old crust's complete identity is wrapped up with the wee crusaders. When they lose poor old crusts weeps for a week! Hahahahahahaha.

So thats why you have been bawling like a baby since 2007 Beeno, hahahahaha

Been a long time since you had a win

old crust you are only fooling yourself and dense denise i would hazard! Get over yourself you pompous loon!

So dumbarse if NZ "loads " the Saders what about all the other NZ teams that have won the comp oh lets say the last decade or maybe two.

Only ONE saffa team has won so who is loading what eh dopey ?

Plenty of Kiwis up north too ,and I would say most of them are good enough for super rugby at the least ,are all 300 SA players good enough for the super comp ?

Well done to the Crusaders. 

Please ignore the resident Clown who only serves as a good laugh.

Sader, admit it, this place is more fun with Beeno here. 

Wardad, who do you love to hate more?

I dont mind Beeno at all, in fact he is doing a great job at making the rest of us appear intelligent

Oaks the big question i s how much has all this cost the old crusts in bribes and WHO is paying for it!!!

No bribes need on our side, we are far to good at rugby to do a South African.

Honesty and integrty always wins, and the proof of that is with the Crusaders and All Blacks

Says alot about SA rugby doesnt it hahahahaha

Super rugby is a sloppy boring league. All you need is superior cardio fitness. You need footballers not rugby players. Try line to try line runners. The breakdown is sloppy, defence is sloppy, set pieces are sloppy and there are way too many games. Up north you have to be more rounded in your skills and stronger. Super rugby is trying to be the awful rugby league where there is no competition for the ball just mindless running. This generation of players are too thoughtless and reactive. So no, if New Zealand do have 300 players up north they probably are good enough for Super rugby if not because they aren't conditioned for marathon running style conditioning that Super rugby demands. That's it. And that's where the Southern Hemisphere teams have had an advantage for a long time especially the ELV era, cardio conditioning. I hope Super rugby dies because it is so dull and eats into the test calendar which is so stupid I can't believe they were allowed to do it. 

in teresting take Alucard!

Sader, integrity? Don't get insulting. It's easy to claim integrity if everything is going your way. Different kettle of fish if things go against you, but you won't know that.
