Jaguares v Crusaders
-
@stargazer You probably have seen Brighouse play because he's been around Otago's NPC team for two or three seasons - I've seen him play, but he's made no impression on me other than that he has quite a cool name.
This would be one of the weaker Crusaders teams I've seen us field - certainly in Razor's era. I think you can just about name a better starting XV from the people who are not in the team.
Moody, Makalio, Franks, Barrett, Dunshea, Taufua, Harmon, Read, Stratton, Mo'unga, Dagg, Goodhue, Tamanivalu, Macilai, Jordan.
Res. Crockett, Jager, Brown, Enari...
Good grief!

A better starting XV? Without Taylor, Whitelock, Todd, Hall/Drummond, Crotty, Mataele and Havili? Nah.

@stargazer By my count there's nine starting players in my team and only six in the team we're fielding.

@sammyc Have you heard anything about Izzy playing club rugby as well?
Just found out he’s starting at fullback for university tomorrow

Seems like hes been out forever. Hope he comes through it okay. Ohh and Izzy a word of warning don't touch Timpsons tiger. Trust me on that one.

Hey everyone come look! Crotty is injured.
He's such a class player but it's getting to the point where he'd be a liability for the ABs if he's so unlikely to finish a game.
-
@no-quarter I spoke too soon he got up again. Can't they make a whole player out of him and Ngatai?
-
The Jaguares love to put the shoulder on the kicker after the kick. There was one 5 mins ago on Hunt that he could have milked for a penalty as well. Awful discipline.
-
@no-quarter as they said, it's Lavanini. I thought that was a bit harsh, there was a tiny bit of a wrap. But still, he's not a smart player.
-
Jags playing with plenty of enterprise, but their error rate is terrible - Crusaders know if they can make their tackles, sooner rather than later one of the Jags will push a pass they shouldn't and a fumble will occur.
Good defence so far from us - more clinical. A handy lead - necessary, because there's not a lot of firepower to come from the bench.
-
Haha what a try! Mataele makes up for letting in the last try with a poor defensive read by setting up an absolute ripper.
