Crusaders v Rebels - Super Rugby Round 11 - 28 April 2013

[Rassie]

Trademark Crusaders capitalizing on the oppositions mistakes.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Taylor kicks the 3 points from what was effectively a PK reversal.

Saders lead 27 - 26 after a very Tah like play from the Rebels.

10 minutes to go.

Hang in there you bloody Mexicans.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

AngrySeahorse, that was an understatement,

I was being nice

Yes! Another good scrum Saders!

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Come on Saders get the whip out!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Oh dear. The team from the weaker conference looks like winning.

This will be 30 - 26 as Taylor slots the PK. 4 minutes left.

Try time required by the Mexicans.

 

[hawktrain]

Rebels lucky not to lose a man to the bin there, about 3 cynical offences.

 

[Kaz]

Real passion from the Rebels. Hope they carry it the full 80.

Huge.

Bugger.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Oh dear. The team from the weaker conference looks like winning.

That is certainly the reality at the mo.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Knock-on by Rebels, phew!

Nice tackle Guildford.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Oh dear - Higgers has blotted his copy book with a dropped ball in contact which was probably the Rebs last roll of the dice.

Still he has been a huge contributor in this near victory.

 

[jermano]

Regardless of result, hugely entertaining game

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The comparative weakness of the bench for the Rebels seems to have been the major reason for this Tah like defeat.

 

[Highlander35]

Trademark rebels. Play really really well, then fuck it up in the last 20-30mins.

 

[Kaz]

Woodward kick stuff up.
Turning point.
Real shame.
Well played Rebels.

 

[James Buchanan]

Frustrating game to lose. All credit to the Crusaders, stronger up front and more disciplined. Good signs from the Rebs at least.

 

[FrankLind]

The team from the weaker conference looks like winning.

That's for sure.
So a good upset win for the Saders?

Saders have no chance without Carter and Read.

 

[qwerty51]

If the Rebels had decent props they would've won that

 

[James Buchanan]

Saders have no chance without Carter and Read.

Carter seemed to have a big impact in the game via his leadership. Really calmed down the Crusaders when they were flighty.

 

[hawktrain]

Crusaders winning without playing well when a fired up opposition really threw it on them, sign of a good side IMO.

 

[SaderCheif]

Got out if jail there. Oz conference vastly improved from last year.
