Crusaders v Reds 3/06/22 - QF1

[The Phoenix]

Gunna be a cold one tonight: Temps will barely make double figures at any point & be back down around 8- or 9C by kickoff. Also a sneaky breeze that looks like it could be blowing end-to-end to add some wind-chill. Shouldn't be any rain but expect some dew. Also lots of Synergy & copious amounts of Boomfa...

Perfect Toowoomba weather for Stewart, Faessler and Hoopert. Bring it on.

Christchurch would out-Toowoomba Toowoomba any time.

*Edit* would dearly love to be wrong, but I think the crusaders will smash us early on and then sub their players off to protect them and we will score some points to make it interesting before their subs score a further 10 before the end of the match to seal the deal.

Think CruSadists will play it tight & narrow until they're in the 30m zone then look to get it wide to Reece or Jordan, or not quite so wide to Fainga'anuku.

Already anyone hoping that the commentary might not be 100% Kiwi centric would be disappointed.

^ I'd have thought it was Stan's job to do an Aus-friendly pre-match, not skyNZ's?

Nisbo lead commentator again so at least @Dismal Pillock & the other Horsemen don't have to fret about that horrid TJ bloke

Edit: oops, wrong thread...

I've concluded that Zero and KiwiM are simply alternate Dismal accounts. Alternate aspects of his personality if you will. Although, all aspects of his personality are the same.

 

[Confucius Say]

I like Justin Marshall. Impartial.

More worried about the officials than the commentators.

It's OK. Dan makes up for the sock puppets.

 

[dru]

That scrum does not bode well.

 

[The Nomad]

Our restarts suck ….

Wait till you see us try an exit.

A potential break is surely advantage from a knock on eh.

Yep.

Better scrum but it still faded.

 

[Derpus]

Those penalties are such a killer.

 

[dru]

That Sader opportunity try came from less than ideal Red set piece. Scrum and line out.

Nar - lay the blame at Wright's feet. Soft penalty against a quality outfit in midfield = 3 or 7 points every time.

If that’s an Aussie team it’s a no try 8 days of the week
