Re: Super 12s
Totally agree with you Ready. He should be put out for a very long time. And I have to say, I don't have a hell of a lot of sympathy.
Apparently the SANZA judiciary panel has the authority to hand down a maximum six-month ban for his racial abuse. And since there is no doubt of his guilt (unless you are talking to Cats officials) he should serve a good stretch under the IRB penalties for race, creed, colour or religious vilification.
On the (only) plus side out of this whole mess was the form of Alex Kanaar, who played really well and is more than useful as he can play in the back row as well as the tight five, plus he is only twenty-two years old. Young for a forward. So this is great for the future of New South Wales (and hopefully Australian) rugby, as Harrison was leaving anyway. I have to say we really didn't miss him tonight.
Your right TC, the lineouts were extremely good tonight, the Tah's won at least five or six against the throw.
As for the Blues, they were just embarrassing. The Crusaders were up 34 - 0 at half time and then 41 - 0 early in the second half. This, I guess, is when the bench gets a run, on mass and they start to wind down a little and allow a couple of tries. But still an embarrassing scoreline for a team with so many All Blacks in their line up.
Apparently there are 27 past or present All Blacks on the field when these two sides play eachother. That can be pretty intimidating, we'll have to be ready for the Crusaders in a couple of weeks ;D !!!
