Crusaders v Rebels

[Canes4life]

The initial view looked forward from Reece.

I just went back to look at it and it was well forward.

Angus Mabey is the ref. I haven't seen him for a while. I always liked him.

That scrum PK was well justified FWIW.

[Damo]

That is a nice try but surely going through the hands is the safer play??

Playing with advantage, I guess

@MN5

He’s still got that weak glass shoulder that was identified in his all black review when he was one of 65 players that played in Covid year 1 … his 65 - 70 percent tackle rate accuracy in his super career at least it makes Tom Christie get noticed covering up for him.

[Duluth]

80/20 territory split so far. These scrum penalties should make it easy for the Crusaders

[African Monkey]

Rebels might wanna get Tupou out there. This scrum is club rugby standard from the Rebels.

[Machpants]

No try

[Duluth]

Dumb penalty Blackadder

What a waste

[Machpants]

Another waste, calm the fuck down

[African Monkey]

The Crusaders look better giving the ball to Aumua off first phase.

[Machpants]

Reihana can't kick for toffee

[African Monkey]

The Rebels rolling maul with and without the ball hasn't been too bad.

Their scrum on the other hand.....

[Donsteppa]

The Rebels scrum makes it look like it's Golden Oldies rules.

[Machpants]

They might have just dodged penalty try and yellow there

[Canes4life]

These slippery conditions are really evening up the playing field between the minnows and the top four side.

[Yeetyaah]

HOW MANY RESETS AHHHHHHH

[Machpants]

Reff trying to even it up. Scrum down by rebels, play on. Knock on, picked up from offside, carry on

[Canes4life]

Barrett has been awesome, Strange has been horrible.
