This Crusaders side got very in-experience players. The only experienced players that played (were Fletcher Newell/George Bower/ Joe Moody/Scott Barrett (Captain)/David Havili and Sevu Reece). Remember...This Crusaders pack was playing without.... -Will Jordan -Sam Whitelock (Since he retired from last year) -Temaiti Williams -Owen Franks -Codie Taylor -Richie Mo'unga (since he also retired) But Fair play to Fiji Drua for their 2nd win over the Crusaders in Fiji.
Cut a long story short lost, out of the top 8 in 11th, one of the bottom, behind Moana Pasifika 9th & Fijian Drua 10th, and 3 rounds gone. Early days, but yet to register a win along with the Western Force in 12th, both on 1 point. Hurricanes sitting pretty with13 points, then Chiefs 2nd, Reds 3rd, Rebels 4th all on 10 points. Then the Blues, Highlanders, Brumbies, Warratahs with 9 points, in that order, completes the top 8.
Another salty lame excuses coming from a kiwi fans trying to justify the lost...Remember Drua too has lost few key players who played last year and this year they have few new players as well...😂😂..Take the lost kiwi...don't be salty
Fun Fact: After this game. This is the first time since late 2010 Super 14 the Crusaders lost 3 straight in a season, since 2014 is the last the Crusaders lost 3 games in a row from the games they played, 2013 Semi Final lost and the 2 opening losses on 2014, and this is the first time since 1996 that the Crusaders lost 3 straight from the opener. If there isn't any reason the Drua isn't your favorite or 2nd favorite team unless you are a Crusaders fan after this game. Making 3 different history will. Congrats for the Drua along with the Chiefs and Waratahs to make this happen.
I loved this despite being not high quality play for a lot of the game. Crusaders trying to play barbarians rugby after their structured play failed up front. Crusaders had 16-18 players in the final last year, I'm not sure how many of the officials were playing for them.
Crusader got locked up in the second half. They couldnt do anything 😂. Drua couldve legit score 4 more tries but kept knocking it on near the try line and forward passing the ball near the tryline.
@@yealandsmarlNot only this game. I just watched the blues as well. Terrible stuff. Tell me, have you seen a more error ridden crusaders team in the last seven years?
nz will no longer be the no1 team like they used to rugby has changed and the more nz and aus play this comp with different rules to test rugby the more they will suffer also player are now moving to europe and japan instead of representing their home country clubs

Crusaders always lose a few games early on in the season.
haha thats actually true! they might still will it all

yeah it could have been worse
So... The Rebels beat the Pasifica who beat the Drua who beat the Crusaders.... That means the Rebels are better than the Crusaders... Quick Maths!
checks out mate science!
For the love of G, please Crusaders change your logo pic..... It's been years now.
Logo? Back to the guy holding sword? I thought that looked very cool. Better than the new one
NZ rugby is in a lot of trouble.
If you're saying that because of this game I would have to disagree
