Crusaders v Rebels

[Godder]

43-7 at halftime... Thought the blackcaps were playing for a minute there...

If Saders give them a real record breaking hiding it will not be helpful. Hopefully the coach of the Rebels fires them up at half time. And hopefully the Saders empty the bench early doors in the 2nd half.

This is pathetic. How many rubbish teams can super rugby sustain? And they want to expand further. <br><br>
We need to find a billionaire to fund a NZ only super rugby comp. <br>
Better than watching this rubbish.

<p>And call it the NPC</p>

Andy Ellis is even feeling generous, he fucked around for an age at that ruck to give the d a chance to re-align, yet they still leak points.

[ACT Crusader]

Rubbish D.

[antipodean]

<p>Nice chip and regather at pace and the Rebels get another try. Bad attempt at a tackle by Crotty.  64 - 12 with half an hour remaining.</p>

[Gunner]

Fuck Crotty, what the hell kinda tackle was that, has Seta been teaching you?

[Gunner]

Crusaders getting a bit cute now, trying to throw too many offloads that just aren't on.

Call it the 'Only Super 5'

[Tordah]

<p>great line by Todd, but again some horrid defence</p>

[Glath]

<p>Bloody hell these scrums are getting in the way of the 100.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>rubbish defence again by the Crusaders</p>

[antipodean]

<p>The Crusaders have looked pretty average at times during this game.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>yeah, but that's the challenge they had, and they didn't quite make it, disappointing display in the 2nd half, they should realistically have won by 80</p>

<p>That comes down to pride. The players who go missing when you're up are the same spineless individuals when it gets hard.</p>

Would have been nice to see them keep their standards up, but they clearly clocked out mentally at about the 60 minute mark.

[Gunner]

This is one example of the new BP system working well. <br><br>
Under the old system the Rabble would have taken a point from this, despite getting spanked by 60 points.<br><br>
No way in hell anyone copping that much of a hiding deserves anything!

[Stargazer]

<p>And the Crusaders have broken a record, although not the one of the biggest winning margin.</p>
<p>The Crusaders are the first team to win 200 Super Rugby games!</p>
