Heartbreaking loss for the Reds, because they gave it everything. Looks like they might have turned a corner, form-wise though.

He seems to struggle with normal rugby, he is nowhere near super

Not it isn't, the Reds played all the rugby.

It doesn't really matter who "deserves" it, does it?
Reds made a lot of errors, Crusaders made a lot errors. Harris missed more kicks than Taylor.
Saders attack was very poor. Reds pressure was good.

Seems there are players picked for certain attributes (like speed) and they think they can turn them into rugby players. Look at the 2nd rower for the Rebels - he was a rower (oars), has the fitness but the understanding isn't there.

I want to agree with that but you're wrong on Neville. He's a fantastic rugby player with skills.

Both sides just couldn't hang onto it at the right times unfortunately...

I thought the 2 worst decisions were the call against Digby for not releasing the ball within the required millisecond that you are tackled, this only seemed to be the rules for that particular tackle. And the second one was Ritchie stopping Gill from following the ball off a scrum by interfering with him. Surely if a Referee has ever watched a game with Ritchie in it he would be aware that this is something to look for.
Finally a Reds bonus point!!! Something to smile about.
Higgers, A Faiinga and Lucas were huge. 3 points each and an honorable mention for Genia for mine, he is looking dangerous again. but a 5 point score for Gill can you sign a player for a 12 year deal?

That was definitely not a penalty...

I am afraid I am going to have to disagree with you on this part.
(17-7 penalties - yeah totally balanced!!!)

We each have byes that will cancel each other out, if the Reds beat the Brumbies in their matchup then we are only one game behind them (and a bonus point). I think the Reds are now only in Australia and the Brumbies have to go to Wellington. I wonder if us getting Quade back and the Brumbies losing Lealiifano will be worth a win? It might come down to the last week

If we're gazing into next weeks crystal ball, I'd say the Chiefs will be a very different proposition - they actually have an attacking game. Saders have very little in that regard this season despite a few glimpses of better tries off set piece.

Vinnie Munro was worse than Bryce. I thought he missed some really obvious stuff. The Saders lineout in the secon half where they threw to two and was nowhere near straight. It was right in front of his blody eyes. The scrum before half time was his mistake also. Bryce was on the other side and needed his assistant watching the blind. Vinnie completely missed another obvious infringment. Refs have a tough job and they will make mistakes given all they have to observe. Assistants have nowhere that workload but they constantly stuff it up. It is time they are held to account. These decisions had no bearing on the final score but that is not the point. They are proffesionals doing their bloody jobs like amatures.

Might go out on a limb here and say the signatures of Hanson and Higgers are more important than QC (Quade Cooper). The backline has looked considerably better with A Fainga'a and on the back of his games so far think the Wobs could do way, way worse. He and Higgers are definitely still on the improve as players.
Gill is very, very good. What happens if he gets a call up for the Wobs, does he still go to the U20 WC? He and Pocock could work really well in tandem on national duties.
