QF Crusaders vs Reds

[Winger]

If the reds scrum wasn't so crap they might have a chance. As it is

[Bovidae]

There is a reason none of this Reds tight five are internationals. They aren't that good.

Thorn needs to bring McReight on so they at least compete at the breakdown.

Only player really impressing me is Blackadder. Hall is getting better as the game goes on. Haven't seen Whitelock outside of some rucks.

Sam has had some good runs, over the gain line. I think he's the best I've seen him in a while tbh

Always gives it 110%.

Really Whitelock has had 3 great hit ups watch it again

[antipodean]

These carries by Whitelock might have coincided with me dispelling real time "analysis and wisdom".

[Damo]

Crusaders should be up by more.

Having said that I am not particularly worried for them. The smart money has them running away with it in the final 20.

Probably put the mocker on them - which I am ok with. As a Highlander fan I would prefer to avoid them in the final.

Not sure that's possible

[Machpants]

Fuck the tight forwards are shit with the ball in hand

[Gunner]

Crusaders ball handling is atrocious tonight.

[Machpants]

And their wide defence is easily as bad, midfield over committing again

[antipodean]

That's well done but too easy. Crusader's midfield defence is in quicksand.

Nice work, 16-15

No thanks to Goodhue at 13 in an AB jersey

[Mattasaurus]

Well taken try.

Goodhue left wanting...

Yup

[Frank]

Goodhue is too slow for centre.
Perhaps will be played at 12 by the ABs.

[Machpants]

Captain's knock there by Barrett, then fucked by the following players

[taniwharugby]

Not sure that is on Goodhue, but agree he looks sluggish.

I feel for the bloke with all the injuries. But just looks so slow out there.
