Crusaders v Kings

[gt12]

Great try by Crusaders. <br><br>
Kings are really weak through the midfield (and great work by Havili and Fonotia there)<br><br>
This will get ugly.<br><br>
19-10 after 23.

[gt12]

Kings are dropping like flies. Looks like the 3rd end-of-game injury here.

[Mattasaurus]

One of the Kings comes back on...soooooo much strapping tape

[gt12]

Nadolo got there..<br><br>
Not 100% sure about that one.<br><br>
29-10 after 32.

[Mattasaurus]

TMOs just keep it interesting. ..again the questions from refs are causing issues

[gt12]

Well, not that everyone wouldn't have expected. Hope fantasy players put Nadolo in your teams :)<br><br>
Fonotia concedes a penalty and kings go for goal? Wtf? <br><br>
No good.

[gt12]

Havili kicks for goal from a million miles out to end the half, and just misses.<br><br>
29-10.

[Billy Tell]

<p>That Kings left wing makes Nadolo look small...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd say he'd have to drop down to about U14s before he'd have a chance of being the biggest player on the pitch.  Looks like he'd tip the scales at about 60kg, and wouldn't be out of place in the Kenyan long distance running team.</p>

Crusaders make this scoring tries lark look hard...

[gt12]

Made that one look easy...<br><br>
Offloads all over the place..<br><br>
36-10 after 45.

[gt12]

Macilai on.<br><br>
Volavola to 10.

[gt12]

Ugh. Getting very ugly now. Like a training run.<br><br>
Great skills, but games like this really help to remind us of the defensive skill of most teams.<br><br>
43-10.

[bbarcs]

Justin Marshall took cabbage maths

[gt12]

Martululle steals one back.<br><br>
43-15.<br><br>
Edit: 43-17.

[bbarcs]

Googled "cabbage maths" and Justin Marshall was 5th result. That proves it.

[Billy Tell]

<p>TJ pissing himself over Marshall's lack of basic maths.  "6-2 is 4 Justin".  "Yes it is.  Yes it is".</p>

[Smudge]

<p>The only thing they count in Mataura is how many times Justin Marshall was chucked out of the Falls Hotel.</p>

[gt12]

Crusaders on a warning and kings 5 out.

[gt12]

Kings fuck it up.<br><br>
Great break out try to Macilai after some good work by Samu.<br><br>
50 up.

[Billy Tell]

<p>Remind me, what is the point of the Kings?  Heartland championship would seem a more appropriate competition.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3 consecutive games leaking a half-century.</p>
