Waratahs v Crusaders

[Mattasaurus]

Saders going too wide too soon off slow ball

[chimoaus]

Is it me or do the Tahs have hard straight runners very close to the ruck, not going too wide early.

[Mattasaurus]

@chimoaus exactly

[Kirwan]

Really good awareness from their 9 to shut that half out.

[chimoaus]

Fucken hats off to the Tahs, bar their scrum that was exactly how to nullify NZ teams.

[Mattasaurus]

Tahs best 40mins this season, probably saders worst

Slow to get to the rucks as well. Getting dominated at the breakdown.

[Kirwan]

No way the crusaders will come out that bad in the second half.

Gordon is having a great season. Captaincy seems to suit him.

The Crusaders lack of urgency on defence is in total contrast to the tahs who are pressing up so quick, sometimes off side but moving together isn't always picked up.

@Kirwan I think Fossies boys are going to learn some hard lessons in July.. Particularly up front

[Duluth]

Hickey & McLeod to launch the comeback

[Canes4life]

Crusaders looking really average without Mo’unga driving the ship.

[Kirwan]

73% possession and 71% territory to the Tahs.

Crusaders just don't look like they can make any inroads with ball in hand. They are on top now in most other facets. Unfortunately, they have made it tough for themselves

Depends who they pick.

It's all because he got rid of that 5 o'clock shadow that made him look middle aged, he's got a spring in his step now.

Blues forwards have been best all season. I would start with them.

[Kirwan]

Stats just got updated, 59% possession and 36% territory. Bloody IT nerds.
