Urgh - SkySports UK playing All Black highlights. Somebody talk to me.

Stu is really harsh on the Crusaders.

Home team bias for sure.

He missed a couple of forward passes from the Reds I thought, and I thought one of the breakdown penalties against the Crusaders was a bit harsh, but overall pretty good I think. Crusaders lightly the better for mine at the moment, but there is very little in it. Cooper's kicking, Saia's throwing are the 2 major problems so far.
Bring on the second half.

Stu is really harsh on the Crusaders.

Home team bias for sure.

McCaw should have been carded already.

 

[Sandpit Fan]

Robinson is playing like a man possessed, great game, but geez I wish we could hold onto the ball!

 

[Victorian Reds Fan]

Cooper's misses may cost us the game. No surprises the Crusader's try came off a turn over (great work by Carter).

 

[Aussie D]

Cracker of a half of rugby, hope it continues in the second. Love the attitude of both teams a pity more teams don't follow suit.

 

[cyclopath]

Apparently so does Digby who managed to run him down. Who ever said that guy was slow? Does this mean Diggers is faster then AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) who was run down by Fruen?

Yeah, Digby did OK there. That said, I said Fruean was quick for a big guy - he's not an out-and-out speedster. Neither is AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). Digby has been dangerous, good to see. Tapauai looks a bit slowish, but positioned himself beautifully for that try. "Flat" pass as it was (according to Timmy Horan who had to say it about 6 times!!).

In what way Qwerty? Samo very unlucky in the 5th minute or so. Stu is one of the few refs who actually notices what Richie does.

Forward passes, knock ons by the Reds. Crusaders more aggressive at the breakdown. No those Richie pings

 

[Tordah]

are you kidding me, Stu refs the biggest shit, how is that a Reds put in

 

[cyclopath]

Brilliant from Genia. Certainly a globally comparable player!

 

[Scarfman]

Reds are making their weak scrum create holes when it collapses.

 

[Scarfman]

Ah fuck - Beau gone.

 

[Scarfman]

I've never seen a player more pissed off to not be still out there in the modern era. He was barking mad. He was frothing.

 

[Scarfman]

McCaw not happy. Dicko will never ref again.

 

[aussie1st]

Tapauai causing all sorts of problems. Nice stop by Morahan.

 

[Scarfman]

56:00 and both sides are out on their feet

 

[Tordah]

That ruck where Ioane was tackled, how was that not a Saders pen? Reds all over from the side and sealing

 

[aussie1st]

Never die of boredom with Cooper.

 

[Scarfman]

Cooper is a genius like we haven't had in rugby since Campo.

MLF - Major League Fuck-up

Stupid sky plus box quit on me about 15 mins into the game ( i recorded it) and only turned on at about 58 mins.

Can anyone enlighten me about the tries, individual performances, particularly Morahan, Tapuai, Lucas and Quade.
