Crusaders v Highlanders

[antipodean]

Talent disparity suggests only one team in this fixture is going to be able to make a statement amending for the previous week's efforts.

[KiwiMurph]

Unsurprisingly a very small crowd.

Hopefully with Rebels the later game it fills in a bit.

Jeez SBW calling Horan ‘Timmy’. I think he cringed a little when that came out of Sonny’s mouth.

Get Super round away from Melbourne. That crowd is pathetic.

It's 6pm on a Friday with 2 NZ teams.

Same as last year - it's marketing genius to put all the games in a rugby stronghold. Oh, wait...

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph yeah I cant imagine there'd be a big crowd for the Reds v Force game if it was at EP...

[KiwiMurph]

Goodhue looks worryingly slow last week and now this

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph yeah, looks like a forward out there

Even worse now. Dropped like a sniper got him after he threw that poor pass.

[antipodean]

Gilbert has a dependable boot on him doesn't he?

[ACT Crusader]

Goodhue is cooked.

Missed an overlap and then looked to tweak his groin

Was a good try, but we have been terrible. At ground level we have lacked speed to the tackle (other than Blackadder and Reece)

Very impressive.

[Kiwiwomble]

Typical cantab next to me….crusader about 30m offside…I mentioned what the hell!…”well actually the rules say you can’t advanced…he went sideways”

[antipodean]

There's a long serving All Black prop having a torrid time of it out there.

[Tim]

Highlanders dominating the scrum. Moody folded there.

[KiwiMurph]

Some of the handling is atrocious

[ACT Crusader]

Perfect conditions and we are holding the ball like a piece of wet soap. Rubbish.

That last scrum penalty against the Saders was wrong. Landers should’ve been pinged for not engaging

[Tim]

Nisbett called Whitelock Ennor, lol.

Moody isn’t helping matters. Engaging on an angle then walking around to 90 degrees never looks great to a ref.

[KiwiMurph]

Reece is great at those little kicks. Underrated skill.
