Rebels v Crusaders

Bovidae

They may also name Fifita as a lock/loose forward to accommodate another loosie in the squad.

Gunner

The only thing worse than the Chiefs performance tonight - listening to these bloody Aussie comms.
Game hasn’t even started and they’re already annoying me.

Mute button is your friend

Can Drummond kick?

Gunner

The Rebels are doing all they can to slow the Crusaders ball, still getting away with a fair bit despite being pinged a couple of times already.

Good try

Gunner

Goodhue saves the day after Seta was made to look like an old cart horse by the Rebels 6.

Gunner

Another good try.
Crusaders are looking lethal when they get on the front foot with half a sniff

Wally

S Barrett penalized for collapsing the maul. I do have to question his rugby intelligence.

Steven Harris

Superb defence from the saders..even their 7 man scrum was solid

Wally

Drummond is fucking useless.

@wally

Can’t kick, can’t catch, ready for an AB jumper!

Donsteppa

Havili now in the bin. Is the weekend for dumb arse rugby from NZ teams...

gt12

Excellent work on the Drummond bashing, pays off with him putting on a try.

Edit: almost putting one on.

antipodean

"Definitely knocked on" What drugs is the TMO and commentator on?

Chris B.

@antipodean Ball must get knocked on in about 70 percent of tackles.

Wally

@gt12

Actually almost every time I say so and so is fucking useless they do something amazing about a minute later.

Steven Harris

@donsteppa Havilli has been average which begs the question,why is Manase Matele not starting...?,Push Bridge back to fullback..
Funniest comment of the evening has to come from Brendon Cannon,after the rebels scrum gets marched back 15metres,the rebels were a little unlucky it was such quick heel...I have fallen off my chair pissing myself with laughter..!

Stargazer

I still don't get why Barrett's try was disallowed. How could he knock on; the ball went backwards?

Chris B.

@wally Let me write you a script then!

Crusaders looking quite fired up and dominant when they manage to keep 15 on the park. Rebels mainly just making ground when things have broken down and the ball's gone loose in midfield - that's happened too many times though.

That last scrum hopefully showed some promise of things to come.

All very annoying because I was enjoying the first 20 minutes.

Particularly stupid by Matt Todd - tied a bow around the yellow.

Machpants

And Havili that was utterly stupid
