I watched the second half of that game. It wasn't a clinical performance, you know. The Crusaders couldn't defend. They were suffering from their first team's disease. I was egging them on to at least score one try so they wouldn't walk away nilled as it must be really dispiriting for a side that young to be so heavily defeated. But until that club teaches its players to defend, that is exactly what will happen. Saints had a training session, nothing more.
Shakes head in disbelief
but you are correct. That's over 140 points crusaders U18's have had scored against them in the last two weeks.
I don't know what good that does to any of the sides to be honest, but I don't know how it can be rectified. It's something we (as fans of the game who I know) have spoken about many many times.
Perhaps it understandable with Crusaders as they are a "new" developing team, but I was at the U15's and U16's Wigan games over the weekend v Cas and it embarrassing. Cas is an area that generally produces very good young players but they were awful and you fear for "the game" when the standard of players being produced from such strong areas is so poor.
