Rebels v Crusaders

[hydro11]

If ref says on field try, why even go upstairs for a held up? How do you overrule it?

Crusaders lead 15-0 and are tearing the Rebels up. Should win by 60.

[hydro11]

Do people reckon fullback is Havili's best position?

He has All Black written all over him.

[Stockcar86]

You'd think that these Rebel players would be playing hard for contracts, instead of treating this like a non-contact training session

Havili tearing it up at fullback against the Rebels who look utterly unorganised in defence.

Watching live, he and Mo'unga look a lot quicker than on the tele.

Agreed. Also watching live, the Rebels are as shit as they are on tv.

[antipodean]

@Stockcar86 If they have a defensive coach, he'd want to have secured employment elsewhere very soon.

[pukunui]

This is getting ugly.
Havili, Seta, Seta's nephew and Mounga killing it.

[hydro11]

Quality try there for the Rebels.

Every single fan is being metal detected upon entry to the game.

Obviously no steel detected in the spines of the Rebels

[Stargazer]

LOL Aussie commentator saying that the Rebels had the same deficit against the Highlanders a few years back and still won the game, so maybe ....

Yeah, nah, keep dreamin'

[Chris B.]

@Wally Yeah - Strange has been impressive - first Super start and he's done everything right. Waded nicely through that final maul and got his hands around the ball.

Slightly rumpty start by Israel, but he's got better as he's got into the game. Similarly, Bryn Hall.

Looking good - Crusaders almost a bit too enthusiastic, rather than clinical, at times.

The Rebels defence has been a bit optional.

[Stargazer]

That grin on Dagg's face says it all! Happy boy, back on the field!

[Stargazer]

Bedwell-Curtis is the typical example of a work horse. He just goes on and on and on ...

[Godder]

Another night, another round of Australian teams getting pumped by Kiwi teams... Good to see the Rebels making a strong case for continued inclusion.

[Chris B.]

Quite a lot of sloppy stuff in that game - lots of line breaks that should have been finished, but weren't. Lots of overplayed hands really.

On the other hand, five points banked and lots of players with a week off after a pretty tough run.

Pete Samu probably gone till after the June internationals I'd think. That shot on crutches didn't look good.

[KiwiMurph]

Speaking of injuries Sean McMahon got a dislocated elbow for the Rebels.

For the Crusaders Mounga, Whitelock. and Havili were most impressive live.

That Rebels/Japanese 8 Mafi is a gun.

That McMahon dislocation was ugly. His arm was just hanging there....

I thought Jed Brown was a pretty good replacement. He's not the biggest guy, but he was industrious, hit hard and links well with the backs.

[booboo]

I think that boy Strange is going to be a very good player.

Am just into the second half on my recording but every time I see Strange I think it's Barrett, S.

[booboo]

The other bloke who impressed me was Funnell.

Surely he's got to be in the conversation.

[mariner4life]

Fun game to watch even though it wasn't a contest.

Dagg was atrocious.

I like that Mafi for the wallabies, cheika should look at him hard. Korobeti as well
