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

@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

He was very good in the first half, gained lots and lots of ground with his PK kicks for touch, distributed well. Second half was mediocre, the charge down was very bad, but other than that he was OK.
Crusaders lost it with their powder puff forwards, getting the ball stripped in general play and in contact.

@Damo said in Crusaders v Reds:
That is a dodgy call there. He said "release" player pulled his hands out and disrupted the ball. Should be a PK to Crusaders.
You could see mcnicholl lost control. You could say the same about the try that the crusaders were awarded when it shouldn’t have been. Can’t pick and choose when it suits
