Highlanders v Crusaders

[chimoaus]

Do you not have to be on your feet anymore at a ruck?

[gt12]

Whitelock with another.

[Gunner]

Plenty of action, but gee some of the handling/finishing is poor.

[gt12]

Saders try, some cracking play there. Landers should have scored, but smith’s drop was costly

[gt12]

Uh oh. Something going on.

[Tim]

"I'll do it my own", followed by a double boomfa.

Peak Marshall.

[gt12]

Looks like it should be ok to me.

[Gunner]

That’s a knock on.

Marshall is an idiot, just because the highlanders finger nail touches the ball doesn’t excuse Bateman dropping it.

Or not. It’ll be a knock on.

[gt12]

Squire off. Great.

[Tim]

Ben Smith can fuck off with blocking the conversion.

[gt12]

Great game this. 14-10 and it’s got plenty of high quality rugby - the finishing hasn’t been as good, sadly, so a few chances have gone begging.

That is a worrying action.

[chimoaus]

What a hectic first half, very enjoyable to watch. You really wonder how these players survive playing at this pace and intensity for so long.

[gt12]

I made an effort to watch Luke Whitelock, and he’s been really good - not just making tackles, but making big ones. Heaps of workload, like a non-suitcase suitcase.

[gt12]

Tell you what, they just showed that first Saders try, and I reckon Sops is taken out, which creates the space. Thoughts?

I’ll have another look after the game.

Be happy for him to pull that off when wearing Black in a few months

[Tim]

@virgil I won't be if Owen Farrell does it against us.

I reckon that's dodgy.

Taufua is a mile in front of the play, so Sops never has a chance to get across.
