Crusaders vs Sharks

[Machpants]

That was totally a stupid penalty, another 3 for sharks

To summarize:
Poor ref
Sloppy as fuck saders
Physical sharks, with great kicks

14-18

Crusaders have had more than enough chances to win this game.

yep, if they could hold on to the ball, and stop being dumb arses they'd be well ahead.despite the ref aye @Chester-Draws

@Machpants NO MO'UNGA

[ACT Crusader]

Shocking call. That guy was off his feet. Knees clearly resting on the back of the tackled player.

[taniwharugby]

wow...

[Machpants]

I'll add trying to run it out of 22, how dumb is that

[hydro11]

Sharks haven't run much but why would you when the Crusaders play like that? Put in their end and make them concede a penalty. None of this turning down the 3. Just take the points and defend well.

[Rebound]

Really WTF. This ref just penalised the Crusaders, yet gave the Sharks the penalty for the exact same thing. And people do not think the ref is a big reason for the Sharks' success in this game

[gt12]

Pretty weak from the Saders. I think that should be a ruck, but nevertheless he wasn’t cleaned....

[Gunner]

Why don’t we all just agree that this game has been equal parts Sharks playing well, the Crusaders and the ref both extremely shit!!!

That’s the most accurate assessment, and also no one can get pissy... or can they?

[taniwharugby]

I think that penalty was about as good as the last Sharks one...both players not supporting themselves.

[ACT Crusader]

And now we get a dodgy penalty awarded to us at the ruck.

This ref’s interpretation of the breakdown is way out of kilter with how it’s been reffed this season.

Anyway, that was a bad cut out pass. Put it through the hands.

Salty supporters get pissy. Seems to be modern rugby.

[MrDenmore]

@taniwharugby This ref brought to you by an Indian bookmaker

[Toddy]

@taniwharugby and that's ignoring Todd stopping the Sharks player being able to play the ball.

[Canes4life]

Lol the ref didn't stop the clock.

[Gunner]

That last pass before the no try sums up the Crusaders night, inaccurate.

Still a chance to salvage a draw here.

[gt12]

Hold on - if 14 is offside how is that not a penalty try?

[nzzp]

If Mo'unga plays tonight, Saders win. I think it really is as simple as that.

rookie FR up for a test
