Crusaders v Rebels Friday 13th

[cyclopath]

Colby stamping his claim on the starting 7 position with I think 2 pilfers so far.

He and McMahon making a good double-team act. Fair back row, this Rebels one!

 

[Dctarget]

This game just proves that no one likes half backs.

 

[cyclopath]

Classic sleeping Kiwi from Cru #9, and rightly rested. Although Marshall strangely not in complete agreement.

I thought that Stirzaker had done the stamping so far.

Big chance for the Rebels here. Need to play like maniacs for the first 10 mins in the 2nd and accumulate points and then just hang on.

That was hilarious call by him. I mean Drummond did look a little trapped but made absolutely no attempt at all to roll.

13 - 10. I'll take that.

^^^ Not many tippers outside the state of Mexico would have tipped a score like that at Oranges.

If they play smart in the second stanza, we could be headed for the first upset of the season.

Shrewd purchase was Aussie Mike.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Rebels playing a rather light forward pack, a lot of players good in the loose but no one to really get over the advantage in tight. Which is fine if you want to play with a but more of an expansive game plan, I just don't think they have the skill/partnership in the 9-10 channel to support it

A bit of misapprehension here about the Rebels' scrum. Front row id marginally heavier than The Crus', but the back row marginally lighter. Almost the same weight all up.

 

[James Buchanan]

Can anyone fill me in about why jack d was subbed?

Injured by the looks of things. Like Harris at 10.

Failed concussion test. Take note WRU.

The Crusaders backrow is pretty light too. Luke Whitelock is a small #8 and two 7s.

its metaphorically speaking in reference to the style of the players, especially prevalent at lock and the back row. Higgers is a heavy bloke, but he doesn't make good meters up the guts..

 

[qwerty51]

Well done Rebels just wasted 5 mins of Drummond's binning.

Rebels won't even get to attack against 14.

 

[cyclopath]

Early tackle by 38 nanoseconds. Refs are well calibrated this year.

 

[Inside Shoulder]

If the officials don't start getting defenders behind the ruck/maul this is going to be a season of one out crash ball and blind side running.

 

[qwerty51]

Lineout costing Rebels big time but 5 man backrow has been pretty effective around the park.

 

[No4918]

Cripple fight.

 

[cyclopath]

Well, it was past horizontal, I guess......... But brought down safely. Hmm, fair call, I guess, but hardly dangerous in the intent of the law I think. Here comes the yellow.

 

[No4918]

This is a massively BS yellow.

 

[Highlander35]

Absolutely and utterly disgusting. Rebels need to send a please explain to many authorities.
