[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1099060, member: 55747"] That's easy, they are what many consider to be the best teams in the N and S hemispheres. I am one of those people. It is your forte when you are the better team (not on a specific game but overall), and i believe you were both against the bulls and rochelle. Leinster plays those games 10 times and i don't think it's worth arguing Leinster wins most. Comfortably. It is not that knock-out games aren't your forte. They are not your forte BECAUSE you are playing against arguably weaker teams. The thing is i believe that is most definitely NOT the case with crusaders. The weaker team benefits from a one-off, the stronger team benefits from a longer series. Longer series minimize the influence of luck, shorter ones enhance it. The weaker side needs luck to win. Weaker sides need to take chances and risks and hope they pay off that day. Those chances are by definition unlikely which means they could work on a game or set of games, but not most of the time. You can disagree with my statement of the crusaders being the stronger team. I am just outlaying the rationale behind my statement, which is sound, obviously! Again, it's not like we have ample evidence to go along with this subject, so give me some rope ffs. let's try and work with the tools at our disposal. Hardly ideal or conclusive proof, sure, but it's what we've got. I'm sure the bulls squad didn't inspire much fear into the hearts of leinster fans either. Trust me, crusaders are a different animal. Fvck trust, just watch their games. Dismissing taylor and barrett after what happened against la rochelle and bulls seems, dunno, a bit brave. Crusaders pack is a monster. Ask anyone here who follows sr. I follow SR by choice and european rugby by time zone and because most of the people i hang out with support teams in those competitions. You know how it is. I am in no way an authority but i follow both comps week after week. Like many here, maybe even most. My intuition tells me most SH follow more NH rugby than vice versa. It's easier. I really dont see leinster beating the crusaders. Rephase: i do, i just dont see that being the most likely scenario. [/QUOTE]
