[Bairdy]

Higginbotham try after a terrific group of phases from a lineout in their 22.

 

[Happy]

Unfortunate penalty from Pyle when Rebs hard on attack after another good Vuna run .

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The ANZAC poppies on the ovals this weekend have been a nice touch.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Great hit on Inman by Marshall & Co.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Higgers has a big punt.

 

[Highlander35]

Play Higgers at 12 FFS.

 

[cyclopath]

Higgers is having a big game. Lineout work good, left-foot punting huge!!! And a try.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

There have been some very bright patches of play from the Rebels.

They just need to believe in their own ability a bit more and execute with some more accuracy.

If they can keep this pressure up, the Whitelocks can be beaten.

I spilt my drink reading that. Thanks a lot

Should be another easy 3 points to the Mexicans here.

Keep the scoreboard ticking over and take momentum into the sheds at Oranges.

Edit:
Red team 15 Blue team 11. 39 minutes gone.

And Phipps incurs the Ref's wrath in front of the Rebels posts undoing the previous points.

Taylor will get 3 and they will take oranges at 18 - 11 in favour of the home team.

 

[cyclopath]

That penalty on Phipps was harsh - he had the steal before he fell with the ball. Tough on Rebs to gift 3 there.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Crap call.from the ref gives 3 points to the saders. 18-11 at half time

Interesting final penalty to the Crusaders. Even the NZ commentators seemed to think it was a bit stiff.

Then again, somewhat deserved for that Luke Romano run.

Canterbury Crusaders, are also known as TWATF, "The Whitelocks And Their Friends".

Rebels have been playing better, despite some bad reads in defence early on. Crusaders have not brought our attacking game from the Highlanders game - but we have brought our back line passes directly into touch into this game .

Interesting times ahead. Hoping my guys go up a gear in the 2nd half.

Good run, but it is easy to run when there are no players in front of you!! Bloody big hole left there that shouldn't have been.

Handy reserve on the bench, I think he's called Carter. Or something like that. Bit of a prospect.
