Good to get Gibson out of that Auckland enviroment and into a proper one.

Keep safe Blues, these Crusaders are dodgy and have a horrible culture.

@tim Haha so we have an opposition coach basically saying that our selections are horrendous.

Imagine if Umaga was still coach. Michael Collins would be starting and Nanai would be playing for Manukau Rovers

Looks like this was the thread to get Waikato rugby back on track.

Lol good one Devlin you irrelevent clown

@sammyc Larry the lamb decided to come over and sign my hat haha. But great win, great to finally go to a game down here where we've won, it's usually miserable going to an Auckland/Blues game down here.

Thought Lemalu was huge again stopping their rolling maul. He really has made a huge difference for us there and the Cantabs barely tried to take us on there after that. We outmuscled them for once across the field and didn't get dominated at set piece which also goes a long way. Tumua Manu surely has to be signed by the Blues next year. He shut down their outside backs brilliantly and was a constant threat on attack along with TJ Faiane. Ruru was also fantastic behind the scrum I thought. Annoying to concede 2 late tries but can't be to fussy as we never win down here to begin with so we'll take that.

Hats off to Luke Romano for Canterbury as he was virtually a one man band today.

Strange feeling going into this game. I'm still shocked with Michael Tamoaieta's passing tbh to the point where I don't really seem to care about tomorrow's result.

@MN5 said in Black Caps v Pakistan:

Shot Black Caps and great work Rossco. Again, what a record for a NZ batsman.

All over tomorrow. Just like their predecessors this Pakistan team can't play too well overseas.

They play all their tests overseas

@Kirwan Why have that when we can have Michael Collins chipping the ball out on the full for no reason to enjoy.

@antipodean Yeah fair enough. Who knows, with a bit of improvement with his throwing he may go to a World Cup one day with the Abs....

Aaaaaaand Coltman fucks up the line out. Again.

Ooh the game's come to life a bit. The last 20 has been a real drag.

Coltman's throwing is still horrendous.

Silly to go for 3 there imo. It was a good opportunity to mount an attack of their own and put some pressure on the Canes.

@Bones Come on mate enough with the criticism, Where's the positivity!

@Yeetyaah Just beautiful start from Hunt in general.

Great to hear Ken Laban in the commentary box again as well.

@canefan They're still doing it now.

@canefan No they don't count. Cheats.

@ACT-Crusader Yeah, for all their dominance they only have 2 premierships under Bellamy to show for it.
