Crusaders v Sunwolves

[Stargazer]

Did anyone see what happened in about the 37th minute near the touchline (close to the SW try line)? Radio commentators said it was something for the citing commissioner. Tackle on Bateman? Mataele?

[Chris B.]

@stargazer No idea sorry.

[Tim]

@chris-b Stuff live commentary claims "knee for Funnell and ankle for Sanders".

[ShadowTrooper]

Fuck Drommond's kicking in general play is all shades of shit

[Chris B.]

@shadowtrooper He's covered himself in shit in the first few minutes of the second half.

passing not too great either, haha. Crusaders absolute shite

[Donsteppa]

Razor needs to get some of the big names on the bench on...

[Donsteppa]

Ah, no Crockett on the bench.

[ShadowTrooper]

How is that penalty justified?

[Machpants]

Shades of the blues last year... And yesterday. Razor will be raging

[Donsteppa]

Did the Crusaders hit the beers at halftime?

[ShadowTrooper]

Crotty does something sensible - goes forward

[Donsteppa]

Excellent, normal service has resumed.

[Machpants]

Normal service resumes but I reckon they just thought the game was theirs after those two quick tries, expected the wolves to roll over. Disassociation of expectations -

Took them fifty minutes to get over it

[Bones]

Stratton is a bloody big looking unit.

[Machpants]

Rucks are a free for all - new rules have been forgotten. These boys will have a shock under Pro 14 refs, just like England did

[ShadowTrooper]

Like what I see from Stratton

[ACT Crusader]

Argh, my 9-16 margin stuffed in the final seconds.

Scrappy game but good to get a win against a pretty tough forward pack.

[ShadowTrooper]

Thought Romano shored things up when he came on, carried well and got stuck into the collisions

[Duluth]

he probably got an offer (I imagine a decent one) and thought hey I get to live in Japan and get to start every week. Why sit around holding tackle bags?

Little didn’t even get offered a squad position in NZ, then he went to Japan. It was a big surprise given his NPC form that year
