Hurricanes vs Crusaders

[Nevorian]

@Machpants A better comparison might be number of times kicked and number of times passed

[Stargazer]

Yesterday, they posted an equally stupid picture comparing Lam and Bridge, without mentioning that Lam had played a game more than Bridge. These stats without further context are indeed utterly worthless.

If there's one thing RM needs to improve it's his tackling. It's not a dealbreaker as it will improve with time as it has for other 10s, but right now at test level the big boys will target him big time.

Looks like a nice evening for running rugby. Crusaders by 20

[Stargazer]

Hurricanes: Garden-Bachop out; an extra forward on the bench (didn't hear who)

Crusaders: Bridge ruled out; Ennor to 11, Jordan to 14, Reece gets the 23 jersey

Edit: according to twitter, Garden-Bachop got injured playing for the Hurricanes Hunters this afternoon; he's replaced by lock Kane Le'aupepe.

2 errors from Read already

[KiwiMurph]

That's why you chase kicks.

[Tim]

Great kick from Hall.

[Machpants]

Fuck sake!

[Cyclops]

Will Jordan is going to go Japan. He's a great player.

And again

All canes, apart from that scoring stuff

[Tim]

@Cyclops Well Chase Tiatia sure isn't!

[Tim]

Tiatia doing a Michael Collins impression.

[Donsteppa]

Both tries so far have summed up the part of Chase Tiataia’s game that I haven’t been fond of at the Steamers - inconsistent workrate. He sometimes spends too long cruising at about 75%, then either isn’t quite where he needs to be, or puts too much pressure on himself, and...

Referee "step back Red"
Crusaders - all step forward.
= offside, not called, Riccitelli turns it over.

[westcoastie]
