Brumbies v Crusaders

[Bones]

Both teams duelling for shittest set piece when it should be their bread and butter.

@nzzp Yup.

At least they're calling not straights! Refs have ignored them at times

[nzzp]

Good hands on the buildup there

[Bones]

One thing I do like seeing is Wright arrogantly persisting with the sloppy one hand carrying. Ripe for being ripped apart at international level.

[Bones]

And that arrogance almost costs a try.

[African Monkey]

Johnny McNicholl is playing better now than he was last here 8 plus years ago.

[Tim]

That was some very casual play.

Still on replay are ya?

[Tim]

Brumbies defence is awful, but Crusaders 9 and 10 worse.

[Tim]

How to bomb a try!

[Bones]

This propensity to kick the fucking ball away when hot on attack is hurting the crusaders

[African Monkey]

Hotham scores.

Brumbies could come to regret not taking advantage in the red zone.

[Tim]

@African-Monkey Massively. Such a dumb moment for a team that used to be very accurate.

Do hookers practice lineout throwing? Doesn't look like it

Was he held?

[Tim]

@nzzp looked like he crawled

Frustrating for such a core role. NZ used to have that problem in the early 2000s. Like half backs that can't pass

Huh. Refs said propelled himself forward.

I don't know any more...

[African Monkey]

@nzzp He had to release or reach out.

[KiwiMurph]

@nzzp I think it was probably a try but not the smartest play. Asking for trouble. Just be patient and set up another phase.
