Crusaders v Reds

So general consensus would be Havili experiment has cost the Crusaders tonight?

I think that is a bit harsh. He's been OK. One charge down but otherwise he has been competent.

Just what an All Black team needs to spark them

They WERE back.

Oops. Too soon... maybe

Big finish

If only they'd taken the three earlier this could be a bonus point

A microcosm of why NRL is so much better a product.

LOL. Leagues ‘experts’ on TV can’t even keep themselves out of trouble let alone the players. I’d sit this one out.

To be fair it wasn’t too long ago that Justin Marshall had his spat with the ABs after a few tubes in town.

I’d call it a draw.

That’s right. That was proven to hardly be anything in comparison. I always find it funny when league fans go out of their way to try and say Rugby League is the superior product 🤣

Lol it had to be Sevu

I was not suggesting that he is an All Black 10 (or an All Black anything frankly). Just that you can't blame the position the Crusaders were in on him.

I would put more blame on dodgy lineout throwing.

This one is not over yet.

Smart to target Vunivalu's wing

Reds are about to botch another one

He was moved there by request from the AB coach though was he not ?

I suspect they only want to see if they can get away with him covering 10 on the bench.

Jury is still out on that.

Yep. And good to see the coaches working together.

Duluth

Good defence

Hames is terrible

Damo

That is a dodgy call there. He said "release" player pulled his hands out and disrupted the ball. Should be a PK to Crusaders.

KiwiMurph

Deserved Reds win.

Highly entertaining game.

Duluth

The Reds finally win a close one

Horatio

@Damo I guess its balanced out by the fact they got awarded a try without grounding the ball?

booboo

Going in to bat for the Saders: ref missed a couple of "marginal" calls at the end.

And Crusaders got awarded a try they shouldn't have.

Was Havili good at 10?
