I thought Nelson was a tourism location. Aren't people meant to turn up on long weekends?

It's only a long weekend for Nelson, for the rest of NZ it's just the weekend before Waitangi Day (Feb 6).

Crusaders unbeaten for 31 games on home soil. No hard task for the Tahs

Really enjoying how the tahs are trying to play. High tempo with skill. Great to see

Crusaders get a warning for too many offsides

Tah's looking ok. Beale mistake and the Crusaders are over. Sigh. Were actually looking good till then.

[molman]

That was a different call than to the last game. Think that was a little harsh.
