Crusaders v Hurricanes

It always feels great to win a game when the other team is better than you. You saw those scrums in the first half and every time it was penalty. It's hard to see you winning a game when that happens. That win took a lot of heart.
Jordie was MotM. It's funny how a lot of commentators say mindless shit like to beat the Crusaders you have to go for tries and not kick goals. I think that just makes it easy for the other team. Jordie has to be a lock for All Blacks fullback now. He's a fantastic player. Aumua and Umaga-Jensen were the other standouts for me.

Hah yeah, Marshall was definitely at his shit talking best.
What a cracking game! Fucken good, hard fought win canes. Forwards really stepped up... including May, Blackwell, Prinsep. Defence top notch.
How shit is JGB. Reckon he had no say in all that momentum the canes were finding eh, bring back Smith! Aumua and that abrasive play could really wear some teams down before unleashing a fresh Coles/Taylor...
Perenara so much better when he keeps his cool, PUJ playing like Rob Thomson used to, Jordie absolute class and Ardie just work work work.
Mounga was excellent and I thought Hall was too. Goodhue was cake as...guess that'll happen to a lot of players when out of position.
Strange ya egg.

Sorry, missed being live for most of the 2nd half because dinner (roast beef) and have just watched the rest if the recording.
First thoughts:
- Jordie has shown he is is No.1 15
- PUJ announced himself
- Aumua starting to re-live up to his hype (yay... Am fanboi)
- Pleased the Canes won: keeps the comp alive
- Reece looked on the verge of creating mayhem without actually doing so
- Ref was ordinary
- TJ is not a captain and needs to keep taking his calming meds
- Canes' coaches must be doing something right coz they're a rather mediocre looking bunch of individuals who are creating good results
More thunks when I think of them.

Goodhue has 4 missed tackles, 4 made, one penalty, and a try assist in that half. Very much a mixed bag.
Laumape has 20 metres off 5 runs, 3 tackles made, 2 missed. Solid but defense remains an issue.
Got monstered by Ardie early too

Does the not straight feed into the scrum, law no longer exist?
I get cranky about halfbacks following the ball at the scrum.
In my day
hb was allowed to follow the ball as long as they they stayed:- Behind the ball
- Behind the opposition hb
- Within a metre of the scrum
I am thinking these laws are either obsolete or are not being policed.

dont get that, tackle called, he rips it and ref says ok?
Timing. Ref realised he called it after the rip

This is as good as I’ve ever seen Aumua play (one bad throw excepted)
Apart from his huge runes of a few years ago
There's some sort of orc joke there but I can't words it
