Crusaders v Blues

Duluth

@Chris-B Mr Sotutu scored that game.

Tim

LOL, Weedon getting a rematch with the Auckland boys after Onewa Domain.

@Duluth Crikey - there would be half a dozen red cards from that excerpt these days - probably starting with the tackle on Dempster.

The softer the game becomes the better the Crusaders do

@Duluth I am unbeatable at tiddlywinks!

Love that the rugby was actually second in coverage to the fights.

Ahhh the days of yore.

A very simple part of me misses the rugby codes as they were

Hard men, regardless of size, fighting. Sometimes for possession of the ball.

Canterbury certainly has the most feral supporters that I have been to (Never been to Caketin for Rugby)

Wouldn't love wearing a Blues jersey this weekend, which is pretty sad really as Rugby shouldn't have the dross that football has

Snowy

Nice kid.

Loftus is pretty parochial but all I got was "you're brave" comments in my Blues shirt many years ago. Was fun.

@Hooroo i've been there in a Blues jersey in the awful 2012 season when Pat Lam was a dead man walking. Blues got absolutely pumped by 50.

There were plenty of meathead types with unoriginal banter but I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable in any way. If you were into the rums and looking for a fight then it could be a different story.

I've never had that going to Eden park, Rugby Park (Southland) or Albany wearing a Waikato shirt. Only Canterbury where you get the mindless dross.

God damn it would be beautiful if the Blues win.
Reignite the rivalry - BIG TIME!!!!!!!

I’m just happy it’s not a foregone conclusion. Even if we lose (too anyone), at least I know we’ll be hard to beat.

Haven’t been able to say that for a while.

Been a tough bye week huh?

@Hooroo Haha they're not that bad. I always go when the Blues come down in my Blues gear. They're fine.

Yeetyaah
