Saw the rumours this whole week but only confirmed yesterday.

Jannie and Bismack leaving after RWC. Deal not finalized yet but it is likely to go and play for Jake at Montpelier.

For the first time ever, I changed a pick from Crusaders to Hurricanes. I really, really wish I hadn't done that because now I want to change it back, but that would make it even worse if the Canes take it :crying:

By the looks of the first half you should have followed your gut and chanced it back to Crusaders.

Fruean and Nadolo running rampant.

Nadolo... Monster!! Just bounces through tacklers.

Crusaders up 14 - 3 with a kick to come

Such a bs call! What a monster tackle that was and he gets binned for it? TMO says attempted tip tackle and tried to drive the player into the ground.

Similar to Bizzie's hit on Carter a few years back.

So sick of these pathetic yellow cards for legit tackles and then you have a hooligan like that Waratahs chop getting away with murder and no cards. Nothing wrong with that tackle.

I completely agree, close call though, but he didn't deserve the yellow. What is really getting to me is that the linesman is really silent in the past couple years, he is supposed to make the seconded opinion to the referee and within his own discretion, and there are two, now it is TMO all the way...

Another break (followed by obligatory insane offload) from Nadolo results in a Crusaders try (Matt Todd). Carter on target again with the extra 2. Crusader stretching away now 30 - 18 with 20 minutes to go.

Nadolo crosses the whitewash for another Crusaders try and the bonus point. Cross kick from Carter bounces favourably for Nadolo who pinches it from Nonu who was trying to rather barge Nadolo out the way than catch the ball.

Conversion just missed. 35 - 18 to the Crusaders with 8 minutes to go.

Fat lady, you're up...
