Crusaders v Moana Pasifika

KiwiMurph

Moana tipped up the 2023 Tahs in Sydney in the last round robin game last year - Michael Hooper's farewell game.

Doing it to the Crusaders in Chch (even the 2024 version) is a much tougher proposition.

@KiwiMurph We also won out last round Robin game in 2022 against the Brumbies, so we've never lost in the last round of a regular season match......

Surely history is about to repeat itself

Crusaders scrum is awesome, shame about everything else

Duluth

MP did well to concede nothing there

Canes4life

Moody in trouble

Duluth

Moody gone

Think that will be upgraded to a red

Tim

Yeah that will be a red.

Canes4life

@Duluth that’s worse than Tuputupu’s one last week so should be a red.

KiwiMurph

You'd think Moody would have got that out of his game by now but nope.

Duluth

Strange with a dumb penalty. What a surprise

KiwiMurph

How hard is it to listen to the ref

antipodean

That should stay yellow. Attacker falling in tackle.

Joe Moody doing Joe Moody things...

MP looked like conceding a try for all money in those first nine minutes, but some great individual efforts on D.

I've no idea why I still shake my head at Strange plumbing the depths of stupidity every week

Bones

That should stay yellow. Attacker falling in tackle.

Yeah only thing is not a lot of Mitigation, Moody didn't drop at all and put a lot of power into it.

Bones

Another high shot on Patafilo?

Tim

Good work from Inisi.

Canes4life

@antipodean lol the rules of rugby are fking inconsistent.

Machpants

Not the rules...

Bones

That was a funny replay, commentators "yeah look for the drop"
Very marginal drop
"Yeah there it is"
