Sasuke - what kind of game are you expecting between your Hurricanes and the Crusaders?

 Both teams will be desperate for a win and should be playing aggressive free-flowing rugby, throwing the ball around the park.

Would you agree?

I make this game the toughest Superbru prediction of the weekend.

Agreed. 

Hurricanes will roll the Saders - four tries disallowed last week ,unlucky as...the Canes are just getting warmed up ...Savea on suspension does'nt help much either... but v dangerous side on their day

im expecting a tight game with both teams to not play expansively. i do expect the crusaders to score 4 tries or come close to it though. but carter will lead the crusaders into the tried and tested territory game.
blackadder dosent have enough smarts to allow the crusaders to eveove past this plan, but the crusaders do have a plethora of All Blacks which can execute that slightly tedious plan to perfection.

hurricanes need to go back to school and learn the freaking fundamentals. unlucky with some of the refs calls last week, but the term u make ur own luck never rang more true with some of the silliest options taken by the hurricanes. handling errors and tj perernaras and barrets best saffa rugby player impersonation kicking the damn ball away at every oportunity.

hammet has again benched levave and started shields while continur to play karl lowe who is just way too slow,,,,,sigh,,,, i can go on and on but wont cos its too despressing.

crusaders by 13pts.
 

Crusaders will win my tip.

For whatever reason many of the kiwi teams seem to be in awe of the crusaders but Blues defintiely showed them up last week - how lacking they really were. Serious mistake by cruaseders not to play Dagg @ 15 - believe hes back there this weekend.

Re ref against canes - whatever... it was just a crap game not helped by 3weeks of continuous rain making for very slippery conditions. I didnt think the kiwi ref did that badder job - Reds defended well and game plan was the key to keeping the canes tryless...

Various predictions prior to game...certainly not an easy call.

It definitely was not a tight game - the score was tight - but for the rest it was a game that was exiting to watch if you do not take account for poor ball handling and retention.    Matter of fact it was poor for both sides - and the tries of the Crusaders largely resulted form balls lieing loose on the field of play.  

That wining try of the Hurricanes was a typical example of horrible ball play by the Crusaders.   Both those teams will get beaten hollow by some SA teams - and even  the Brumbies - if that is the best they can produce.   To my mind the only solid display came from Savea - the rest was pure rubbish.   

@mikey,

it was a messy game, but im not complainig, beating the crusaders anywhere is never easy and it was rather exciting.
we were very fotunate to have some penalties go our way and the fact barret was showcasing his goalkicking prowess with a 7 from 7 perfect recrd plus that eleventh hour intercept.

corey flynns try was the only try that came from sustained pressure, very typical crusaders rugby, but the rest were broken play or individual brilliance, like crottys and savea.

IMO savea is easily the best winger in the world and he hasnt even reached his potnetial yet, every run and tackle he made created momentum.

hurricanes scored a good but fortunate win on the back of barrets boot and saveas gladiator like efforts and its only going to get better when ardie savea is available after his suspension.
