Crusaders vs Chiefs

[gt12]

Chiefs scrum five out. Good passage of play.

Cane has such class, he’s like Richie v2.

[Tim]

Chiefs scrum getting killed in this half.

[gt12]

Fuck. What a shit scrum by us and fantastic one by the Saders. Missing Bird there.

Why have we got two loosies on the bench???

[Nepia]

Uh oh - is Ngatai injured?

[Tim]

Whole front row changing.

[Tim]

Bridge really looks a level below the rest of the Crusaders.

[Tim]

@nepia Maybe he's using the Blues' trainer?

[antipodean]

@nepia Can hardly be surprised?

[Tim]

Oh boy, Sean Wainui is on.

[gt12]

Look at the fucking NPC team we’ve got out there now.

That ones on me. I shouldn’t have brought it up.

[gt12]

Cane, what a fucking tackle.

[Tim]

Solid defence. Crusaders look a bit out of ideas.

Goodhue looks like their best.

It's early days, but he and ALB have looked sharper than Crotty.

[gt12]

Cane and Boshier doing heaps out there. Brodie throwing himself about too. We’ll run out of gas.

Having said that, the Saders just brought on King, so there’s a class problem in both teams.

[Tim]

Weber is the second best halfback so far this weekend.

[gt12]

Fuck Fa’auli (sp.?) is useless. What’s his run meters? Put ALB at 12 and find a 13...

TNW time

Shoulder charge v swinging arm? The only thing that saved him was the refs call on tackled player ducking

Higgers tackled him high and kept a neck roll to pull him to the ground. That's equal to the swinging arm.

I wouldn't have given Higgenbotham a red either - just a yellow and a lengthy ban.

Isn't head contact insta-red? Reckon higgers would have gone without the head roll, that was just him putting the icing on the cake

[Tim]

Nice work from 12 and 13. Good try.

[gt12]

Good try, whitelock had plenty to do.

[Steven Harris]

Chiefs hanging in there,but I suspect the saders still have enough to close this game out
