Some absolutely wonderful passing in that passage of play.

Well done Savea. Awesome for a centre.

Miss Snecky is squealing tonight

Savea special

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

Jordan!!

South win it in the 84th!!!!

What a finish - great catch Jordan

Wow

wow...what a finish

My man love for Jordan

Wow. Feck. That’s a great play.

Congratulations, South.

Great game.

The only difficult and unnatural bit was having to support JB.

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.

Great finish to a very entertaining game

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!

That was great. Superb way to finish a great season of Super Rugby Aotearoa.

I really hope they stick with this format for a good few years. Quite looking forward to the NPC as well.

Terrific game.

Every Crusaders fan will be wanking themselves to sleep watching that final play.

Mitchell hunt a former Cantab gave the game away at the end.

Well done South.

Obviously they had Williams in their pocket. Was it a half time visit to the changing room, or was it a done deal before the game?

Great stuff. When they kick the crowds out?

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

Forwards decide games. Backs decide by how much.

What the fucking fuck is this post match crap. Contrived wank that might interest a lobotomised pre- teen.

FFS Sky and NZRU, bin your marketing people.

The oldies are the best

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.

You've been whingeing and complaining all day

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

Oh yeah

So what do we make of the over hyped (majority)Auckland forward pack being dominated up front?

That was a thoroughly enjoyable game.

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?

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.

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.

This post hasn't aged well. I knew Frizell would play well. No surprises there. But Sanders and Christie were bloody good.

Enjoyed that game, plenty of quality an epic finish and the good guys coming out on top.

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.

I thought Clarke was easily the better of the two for the first 60 minutes. But we all have our favourites.
