Crusaders v Chiefs (SF)

@KiwiMurph said in Crusaders v Chiefs (SF):
Crusaders defence is sensational.
ya got that.
Chiefs have done enough to tear apart and demoralise most teams in world rugby. A bit of bad luck with the ref, and they're still behind - remarkable game of rugby so far. Will be interesting to see if the tackles catch up with the saders late in the game
-
Fantastic defence from the Crusaders. I think the Chiefs will definitely win if they get those opportunities in the second half. The game has been high quality. Crusaders have probably kicked too much and the Chiefs look more dangerous with ball in hand.
Cruden has been very good, too.
-
didn't it go backwards. Ill have to watch again
-
@Winger didnt think it went anywhere, just a little fumble
-
Chiefs looking good, but a couple of patches they did look a little fatigued, despite having the ball, may have been wrong given they have looked good otherwise.
Crusaders need to get the ball

another forward pass missed there, but Crusaders get a penalty.
Love the Chiefs' ambition, but boy do they throw a lot of 40:60 passes!
TKB getting distance on his passes, but half the time Crudes has to reach over his head to collect, and tempo slowed. -
@taniwharugby
watched it again. It clearly went backwards. also watched the Chiefs try again. chiefs fans could be feeling rightly pissed off -
-
For me TNW had skin contact with ball all the way to ground, so try. And I didn't think fumble at end of half went forward. So 6-10 seems tough on Chiefs.
Great scrambling by Saders.
Second will be a case of tackle fatigue versus travel fatigue. A try early in second might be enough to swing it...

Only balance to that is that Lowe should have gone to the bin.

shame we didnt see this from Cruden a few weeks back
-
I have zero emotional attachment to this game, but that ruling infuriates me.
We are consistently led to believe that not rolling away is a penalty, regardless if it is intentional, or the defending player has 17 guys lying on top of him at the tackle...
Just don't get it when on the odd occasion a ref rules a scrum because it was 'unplayable'....
