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
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.

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.

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

@Horatio said in Crusaders v Reds:
@Damo I guess its balanced out by the fact they got awarded a try without grounding the ball?
AR saw it down. TV did not show it not down.

AR was wrong and TMO was gutless. Reds got dudded.

Yeah the TMO decision was far worse.
I just thought that was a pretty clear decision that ref bottled because of the time on the clock. Any other time in the game he very likely gives that PK.

Was Havili good at 10?
Mixed
Mostly fine but got charged down badly for a Reds try
The best 10 the Crusaders have had this year. Not an AB level performance but they should stick with him
