Crusaders v Rebels

[pukunui]

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.

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.

<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>

Ruthless stuff from the Crusaders, but fucking awful defence from the Rebels.
