I think mentally we could win this, the saders game was closer than the scoreline reflected...but im really worried about our injuries...not sure we have the depth to go all the way
Classy leadership from mounga. He saw how the crowd got up when ennor charged the ball down and thought, yeah, let's ride that.... quick kick off and everything from them on he just upped the tempo. Brilliant.Ultimately went how I thought... Clinical Mo'unga, he always shows up in big games, been my pick for ABs #10 for awhile.
You forgot Dickson, he's been huge at lineout time and really solid all around. Whetton in the other hand is still learning, still making plenty of mistakes in defence and giving away penalties.no NMS, no Ioane, no McKay, No Walden, No Fakatava ....
a 6:2 split...coaches obviously they're supporting our "strength" being the forwards, in reality we're leaving our Green/outclassed backs to get tired...i expect the same as last week, close for 2/3 of it and then that canes backline to start punching some holes
Didn't forget...he's broken his legYou forgot Dickson, he's been huge at lineout time and really solid all around. Whetton in the other hand is still learning, still making plenty of mistakes in defence and giving away penalties.
Question: has ben Nicholas played in the backs in senior rugby?
hurricanes have been hit hardwith j juries though too, and all in a space of a week meaning it's a very different looking team this week. No prinsep, no Evans, no Armstrong, no Coles
Oh, I thought you were just listing those unavailable due to injury, guess you were more looking at who is unavailable for this game but could come back later.Didn't forget...he's broken his leg
Yeah, although I'm not sure it was the charge down itself that changed the match, rather it was how mounga decided to ride and maintain the crowds energy from that charge down.Desperately wanted Blues to win, but Crusaders are in a class of their own. Blues have done really well so far in this competition.
That charge down changed the match. Great game though.
