Crusaders v Sunwolves

[gt12]

Goddamn Sunwolves have already scored. Fucking up my tipping again.

14-5 after 17.

[MajorRage]

Game is 15 mins old, 2 tries to 1, Saders up ...

And nobody has written a thing on the game so far.

Man, the sun wolves have REALLY added a lot to this tournament ...

[Bones]

That's even a harsh penalty. He pretty much put cushions down for Dagg.

[gt12]

@majorrage

Snap.

Yep, I appreciate them, but only because I can occasionally go to games. They need to get a better recruitment policy, and they’d be at least less uncompetitive...

[Bones]

Thunder, lightning, hail.

@MajorRage Parker and Little are good SW players...

[Donsteppa]

Sunwolves like lifting in the tackle...

[gt12]

I don’t know how Little missed out on a contract.

Bit of a lift there.

[Machpants]

What lovely weather, wolves making the most of it!

[Bones]

@gt12 did he miss out or did he move? I can't see any typical starters at any kiwi sides who he'd be ahead of.

[gt12]

@bones

I doubt he was looking to start in NZ (but I could be wrong). My understanding is that he went to the SWs because of a lack of interest in NZ, mainly by the Blues, I guess.

I’d have him about Faiane (who is slowly getting better), or as a squaddie in the Chiefs.

[Tordah]

Crusaders lineout an absolute shitshow so far

[Bones]

@gt12 yeah definitely ahead of Faiane, but what I mean is - he probably got an offer (I imagine a decent one) and thought hey I get to live in Japan and get to start every week. Why sit around holding tackle bags?

[gt12]

@bones

Especially after living here. He was pretty good at Japanese when he left, so for any number of reasons I can’t argue with the decision to come here.

[Donsteppa]

Sunwolves tight five are feeble

[Machpants]

Saders discipline appalling

[gt12]

I thought the ruck was being assessed in a different way this year? I can’t see anything different noawadayz. Seems to have last about a week.

[Machpants]

After a blistering start the Saders are looking average outside the scrum

[Donsteppa]

Saders lineout looks like the All Blacks at the turn of the century.

It is slightly. They're just making sure that ONLY the first arriving player can go for the ball. I thought the one the commentators were talking about was correctly decided, or at least it was so fine that you should allow him to continue (IMO anyway)

SWs constantly living off side
