So for the second time this season the Crusaders played straight into our hands. Keep kicking the ball down Savea and Barrett's throat as soon as you get possession guys .
Good time at the Cake Tin anyway, decent crowd for once and a tense game. Next week against the Chiefs is now crucial for us and the Blues winning means they still have a small sniff as well.

Canes have little to no chance really...with only 1 game left. I knew those Highlanders games would end up costing them...should have won those ones.
Good game though. Fingers crossed the Highlanders top the table, I think they could go further than the Crusaders at this point.

They did well to get the Chiefs but the Waratahs will towel them up and the Crusaders will grind them out.

The way it's panning out if we beat the Chiefs we're pretty much in.

Really? You're probably right, and I read the table wrong. I'll blame it on sleep deprivation. I figured we are about 5 pts short of making it even if we beat the Chiefs.

Yeah if we win it would take a couple of upsets or some unusual crap with bonus points or something for us to miss out.

I enjoyed the AB's vs USA for what it was. Looked like a lot of fun at that game, I'm quite jealous of those that traveled over there for it. Some gnarly injuries came out of it, but lucky our depth is strong. Anyone else notice for the most part of the game Joubert just didn't rule any knock ons? I thought I was making shit up until Nisbo pointed out there was only one in the first half. Some of those Eagles forwards were actually really good, I thought the locks in particular ran hard and defended well. The 7 was good. 9 and 10 went quite well and that Scully was great on the wing.
The only other comment I have is Justin Marshall is the worst. His opening lines were horrendous and then the Dr Marshall diagnosis annoyed the shit out of me.

I was in Dunedin for the game. Was pretty shocked in the first half after 20mins lol but figured we'd come back and make a game of it. Pretty hectic last 10mins

It would've been funny if PTP the live match Warrior jinx ended up being the same for the ABs as well.

Could be witnessing history here boys. The emergence of the next All Black superstar?

Haha.
That Fifita try was quite crucial for the momentum of that game, and the weather started improving a bit too.
Good fight from the Argies though.

From a result perspective the talk will be all dead rubber and not full strength, from a rugby perspective that was an awesome bruising encounter, some good times were had out there.

Aussie have done very well to turn things around, from losing at home to Scotland minus Lions, to being able to beat the All Blacks.
I've said it a thousand times, but such a shame we're not playing England on the EOYT. The EOYT looks a bit weak, Barbarians, France, France XV, Scotland, Wales. Could be a good test for Wales to target though.

I haven't been particularly impressed with the ABs this year, apart from when it all came together for 57-0 I just think we've been average. We've been getting by on our talent discrepancy and not much else, and even our much vaunted 'depth' got exposed on the weekend.
Also shows how much the ABs really care about the Mitre10 Cup by scheduling the overseas tour flights to leave on the day of the first final. We don't play France until Novemeber 11th, I think it's ridiculous that guys who've played the whole season like Aumua aren't being given the opportunity to get the closure on the season they deserve.

I think that game showed how valuable Barrett is to the team too. I reckon he could be worth as much as 10 points a game.

Rather generous penalty try

Post by shazzman on Nov 12, 2017 23:07:21 GMT 12
My understanding is that it's the correct call because you have to take the offending player out of the picture, and had SBW not been there then the French player would've scored the try.

Ah I see. So once a player commits foul play then he basically becomes invisible.

Correct according to the rules, but still stupid.

Me.
I wasn’t shocked by today’s result, and I suspect MeLoCo isn’t either
