Really weird that one. Simmo was named as the VC wasn't he?

Bieber misses a relatively easy pointer, so there is no change to the score. Reds leaving more points on the paddock. Cru 22, Red 10. 45 minutes. Yellow card is over for Bird (Cru). Crusadists are back to 15 players.

Oh dear. Nadolo intercepts and sprints away for 50 metre try. Slade adds extra two points to rub salt into the wound. CRU 22, Reds 10. 42 minutes. Troubling sign with The Golden Slipper being subbed off for Fa'agase. Big Kev is now Captain.

Is there a happy face or angry face on RG's whiteboard? We're getting ads at the moment.

!/2 time Stats: Reds 71% territory, 59% possession, 53 breakdowns to 23, 12 lineouts won to 3. They should be leading by a very large margin with figures like that.

Finally, after yet another failed lineout driving maul, Kerevi gets a meat pie. No problems for Bieber for the extras. It's oranges with the score at CruSadists 15 Reds 10. With better execution Reds could be up by 10 or more points, but if my Aunty had balls she'd be my Uncle.

YC to Cru 4 for repeated refringements in Red Zone. Why no scrum option taken by the Reds? They have a big advantage in the fatties. Reds get dudded in the lineout maul drive, and get penalised for CruSadists to relieve pressure. Should have scored, yet again! Too many points are being...

Foxtel in Oz is taking the NZ feed as well. Sumo Stevenson, Ian Smith et al on commentary. Reds will not win the game if they come away from attacking raids without any points, either 3 or a meat pie. Meanwhile Colin Slade adds another 3 points to take the score to 15 Cru 3 Reds. Reds...

Anyone on the thread not watching the game on Foxtel? Points here from the Reds. Take the scrum? Nuh they take the lineout option and shag it up.

Try saver by The Golden Slipper. This match is being played at pace with some passion. Enjoying it. Reds 3 Cru 12 after 24 minutes.

Meat to Slade. Deft little draw and pass from Dan Carter's half break. Slade hit the hole at pace and scooted away to get a meat pie. Easy Conversion missed. Cru 12 Red 3. 18 minutes gone.

10 minutes gone, No change to the score. Reds 3 Cru 7. Bit of too and fro stuff like a couple of young uns at a night club at the start of the night.

Nadolo sets up Ellis for the first Meat Pie. Converted. 3:25 gone. Reds 0 CruSadists 7. Reds finally get their hands on the pill. Turnover to Todd, turnover to Gill, penalty to Reds. Brand JOC (James O'Connor) likes up kick and makes it. Reds 3 CruSadists 7. 5 1/2 minutes gone.

Game on. Cru still yet to score. Qld defence looking good.

Round 8 BBQ Tips Eastern Suburbs v West Harbour. Grain fed Angus burgers, immaculately cooked but overpriced and too healthy, with unsmiling professional serving staff. Bronze Medal for the round. Eastwood v Sydney University. Solid performance on the BBQ but the Pies and Sausage rolls...

Probably more like TKS 1.5th XV v Oakhill 2nd XV.

4/5 games last week with the margins a bit so-so. Tipping a draw was always a risky move. Round 8 Tips Eastern Suburbs v West Harbour. Beasties in close game with 4T BP, Pirates 2 BP. Eastwood v Sydney University. The Corporations lucky run bubble is due to burst. Woodies by 10-15...

^^^^ The battle of the Princesses will be thunderously slow.

Good to see Ned Hanigan getting a run on the side of the scrum. There are some who believe his future is as a loose forward (#6 or #8) rather than a lock. @Hans, As good a players that the replacement wingers (Joey the Whippet Fittock and Flash Tyson Davis) are, there are 5 players in...
