[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 553563, member: 43400"] Well, it's unfortunate that us Crusaders fans have had to wait until week 3, to see our team start, but it should be interesting to see how they go against a Blues team that seem to be in good form, are motivated, and are playing with some confidence this year ... hard to pick a result, as any of the NZ franchises seem to have the ability to knock each other over on the day. As a Crusaders and Tasman supporter, I can't really let the Blackadder comments slide by without putting my twocents worth in ... I don't think the comments are entirely fair, it's been pointed out that thee Crusaders haven't won a ***le since 2008 ...well, aside from the Chiefs, who has? ... they always seem to make at least the semifinals, and came pretty close to winning the ***le, the year of the quake, despite racking up all of the airmiles ... yes they have always had a number of All Blacks in recent years, but how often has he been able to consistently play the likes of both McCaw and DC ... does he get any credit for giving the younger guys a go? ... probably not At the very least, he's probably no worse than any of the current NZ super rugby coaches, with the possible exception of Dave Rennie ... and if he'd been judged on his time as assistent coach with the Hurricanes, he wouldn't have been given the NZ under 20, let alone the Chiefs ... if you want to look at the under performing Super Rugby coaches, with great talent pools, you'd be struggling to go past Colin Cooper, with the Hurricanes ... what did have ... nine seasons without a ***le? (not sure, it might have been seven) [/QUOTE]
