SupeRugby Final 2011: Queensland Reds V Canterbury Crusaders

[minorbird]

Cooper just misses a kick that could have pushed it out of reach for the Saders...

 

[Aussie D]

Field goal time?

 

[Aussie D]

Bulls 'ladies going to the toilet' rugby is what the Reds need. Stu Dickenson calls Samo for a late tackle the commentators are questioning.

 

[Aussie D]

Penalty Reds 2 min to go, 40 out from their own line.

 

[Aussie D]

Final minute Cru scrum 10 m their side of halfway...

 

[minorbird]

Samo with some poor stuff in the crunch...

 

[Aussie D]

Omfg how did the touchie miss the hand on the ground which picked the ball up and gave it to the Crus right at the end there??? Great win reds, all the decisions went against them. Refs were the biggest disgrace ever.

Congratulations Reds.

To come back from playing on the back foot for the first half and more shows class.

Enjoy the feeling Reds fans.

Like the "deliberate slapdown" in the tackle on 76 mins? Everyone with time on their hands could make a video of every single ruck and find indiscretions here and there, players joining from the side etc. Crusaders were pretty average today and deservedly lost.

 

[Riptide]

Bleating about the ref is becoming a very big yawn. The decision on Simmons try was a disgrace and inexplicable , but move on.
Reds fully deserve the win, and made the most of their limited ball.

A word for McKenzie. He is the best coach in Australia. He has put it all together and deserves more than he will receive anytime soon from O'Neill.
