You got that wrong.

You agree with the TMO???
Look I don't agree with the rule or the TMO but we are use to the way they blow in the UzRC. If the head get in it's a card

And too many Crusaders in the coaching box.

These players don't even know each other's names, let alone the moves they need to make

NZ were absolutely shit. Argentina more than deserved that win. We were just clueless on attack and had no defensive patterns at all.

Have you sent them to Gus?

So there was head contact, foul play, low degree of danger, and mitigation, meaning that a PK was the correct call. Thanks for clarifying that.

Shit even Fozzie's team didn't give up 38 points FFS. I have said before we seem to be getting caught out with defense not connecting.
It will take awhile to sort out as Razor has used every ex coach from Crusaders so he won't bring in anyone else!

When I watch New Zealand there seems to be something about these players where they expect to be as good a team as previous NZ sides, without putting in the work to get to that level. They think they're as good individually as previous teams (some of them may well be) but they're nowhere near in terms of being a team. And they don't seem to understand the level of work previous teams put into achieving that.

It's Soup rugby. They miss us. The basics of 1st phases, scrumming, lineouts, workrate.

Still feeling a bit shell-shocked this morning tbh. How did we botch that so badly? Towards the end it was just amateur hour rubbish. Something's well off. Can't see us getting close to SA at this rate.
