Some absolutely wonderful passing in that passage of play.

That should be the game. Talk about a tight finish!
for Jordan

I'm claiming it!
What a great finish to a very entertaining game. The final score and the win in extra time just the icing on the cake.

So happy right now! So very, very happy! I thought that was really good game. Very even throughout, with the South Island probably just edging the NI over the full 80 minutes due to better leadership from Sam Whitelock. Nice finish. I have to lament a couple of bizarre no-try and try calls that went against the South, but overall they didn't impact the result. Aside from Ennor were there any serious looking injuries?

No intensity but pretty entertaining all the same.

More trophies for the Crusaders players to drink from and break!

A few weeks ago due to a cluster of infections in the North Island.

Forwards decide games. Backs decide by how much.ASMO wrote: Sat Sep 05, 2020 8:17 am That was a lovely try. North clearly have the edge in the backs, if they get enough clean ball they will run away with this.

Pretty poor effort from the North Island given their relative riches when it came to player depth. They should never, ever lose to the South Island. I think tonight's game showed that some of these big name NI players are pretenders, and lack the heart and class to player Rugby at a higher level.

FFS Sky and NZRU, bin your marketing people.
You've been whingeing and complaining all day

We all have our favourites. I don't think any of the established All Blacks did their prospects any harm. Is Ofa now our starting tighthead? And how good was Rieko?Dan54 wrote: Sat Sep 05, 2020 9:10 am That was pretty ok, plenty of good stuff from both teams, so everyone will be able to say whoever he or she supports convinced them they should be AB
Of the fringe players - Jordan seems to have the Midas touch. He reminds me of a young Goldie in that respect. And marking him was Clarke, who also had a strong game. Sotutu was very good, but then so was Sanders, and I thought Akira got better as the game went on.
This post hasn't aged well. I knew Frizell would play well. No surprises there. But Sanders and Christie were bloody good.FujiKiwi wrote: Thu Sep 03, 2020 3:07 am Agree that it could be advantage South based on combinations. However, to me the South loose forwards look a bit ho-hum compared to the North, especially with Hunt sitting on the bench.
I'm a Blues fan and love all generations of the Clarke family. But Caleb wasn't that great and was nowhere near as good as Jordan.Gumboot wrote: Sat Sep 05, 2020 9:21 amWe all have our favourites.

I thought Clarke was easily the better of the two for the first 60 minutes.
