Dumb rugby from Crusaders (not often you say that).

Take the 3.

Maybe not confident to get the 3?

Very little room for error when you try to attack like that after the hooter. Any stoppage in play (other than penalty) = halftime

@Bones said in QF1: Crusaders v Highlanders:

Really liking Smith bringing the running threat into his game. Combined with that pass, it's deadly.

Augers well for the All Blacks because in this form he'll be creating space Beaudy can exploit.

[No Quarter]

Sets up an interesting second half. Think both sides will be reasonably pleased. Saders will feel they can pull away in the second 40, and the Landers will be happy to still be in the game.

[Machpants]

@KiwiMurph yeah I agree, I was surprised when they didn't go for the 3. Just trying to figure a reason

[Tim]

Coltman's been so good over the ball this year.

[NTA]

@Tim haven't seen much of his lineout throwing - he's a bit wonky tonight

[KiwiMurph]

Squire had plenty of time to use his arms there.

[Machpants]

Second one from coltman he was not on his feet

[No Quarter]

Ioane missing touch and now this YC are a couple of critical errors early in the half. Could be very costly.

[NTA]

@KiwiMurph could have fucking cut him in two with a big hit and wrap as well

[Machpants]

Right call, stupid idiot

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Really dumb when Crusaders were on their 22. No arms and Douglas bounced off fine anyway. Idiot who will do that in a test match.

[No Quarter]

Ruthless from the Crusaders.

[KiwiMurph]

I wonder how tough guy Squire feels on the sideline now?

[gt12]

What the fuck was that?

Lol that made me fucking laugh

[taniwharugby]

a sprint-maul

[Tim]

Destroyed. Pathetic maul defence.

[KiwiMurph]

Naholo is having real problems under the high ball.

Naholo just isn't very good. Shadow of his former self.
