Crusaders

@justice_4_all.... I appreciate what you're saying, and like I have said before in other posts, I have no problem with people debating and sharing their opinions here. I do not have a problem with his opinion, I have a problem with the way he expresses his opinion. This is a game built on mutual respect and sportsmanship... we can disagree but we do so with respect

''leebok: You small minded people. Oh I forgot. The Kiwis are whiter than white. my mistake." that is uncalled for and that is what I was referring to when I called his comments stupid, immature and un-educated, and these aren't the only ones

if he is just doing it to wind people up then maybe I just need to take it with a pinch of salt.

@peewee

i'm talking about the citing process, not guilt.

both cases are effectively verbal allegations of foul play with no video evidence. dylan hartley gets cited, nobody was cited from the bulls / saders game. the only difference (barring the type of alleged offences) really is that a white card was used in the S15 game and it was verbally picked up in the england ireland game

hartley only pleaded guilty at the hearing, not prior to the citing itself

@capedcrusader

there are many a dumb afrikaaner i agree. most people do realise the 80s are over, but i hear you still have cassette tapes for sale in the south of NZ and mullets didnt really ever go out of fashion in NZ did they? pot kettle anyone?

Sorry, CORRECTION: I meant to say "are the HURRICANES untouchable or something..."

@ dolgun: You make it sound like the Crusaders are going to fly half way accross the world, rock up in Christchurch and take out their frustrations on the poor, defenseless Stormers...

This is not 2011. Have you seen the Stormers? And have you seen how the Crusaders have as of yet not put a solid game of rugby together?

Besides, the 'Saders beat the Stormers twice at Newlands last year... so they'll think they have the psychological advantage in this one and will be pretty confident - especially knowing no SA team has won in Christchurch since 1996 or something.

But trust me, the Stormers are still hurting big time from those losses - and they are very determined to use this opportunity to return the favour. And the thing is, this year they have the ability to do so... And they know it.

They also know that if they want to be the best, they've got to beat the best.

So trust me, they'll be as up for this game as the Crusaders are - if not more. And they won't be nearly as loose in their defense as the Bulls were... So the 'Saders will have to find their A-game - and bring it.

Should be a cracker!

This nonsense is sure to rile The Crusaders up for the Stormers game. First loss for the boys from the cape coming right up.

Powerplay is right on the money. Not following up with a complaint after TWO eye gouge accusations is pathetic. Resorting to these tactics is both disgraceful and cowardly.

@chubbylugs

Please explain your logic about consistency

Hartley pleaded guilty whereas no Crusader player did and subsequently no one was found guilty.

Why is there a cross hemisphere issue in this case?

And people ask why we in the Cape don't like the Bulls. Because the vast majority of them are dumb, dirty, meat heads who speak through their noses and listen to Steve Hofmeyer. Just look at their fans in the stands - bull rings through their noses, red faces and hazy, far-away looks in their eyes... clinging onto their brandy and cokes like it's elixir water... while their kids are throwing middle fingers and swearing like a pirate's parrot... while the uncles are jumping over railings to assault refs and players to the sound of Tina Turner's "Simply the Best" blaring over distorting speakers in the background...

They won't apologise Tod. The fact that they would try something this stupid in the first place should tell you they're not the honourable type... even though they try to pretend to be.

Don't worry... Maybe you'll meet them in the play-offs - and maybe you'll have a more objective trio of refs then as well.

Well done mate. you bring a football mentality into the rugby arena. leave your saffer grudge out of the equation and view the incident objectively!
