Crusaders vs Sharks

[African Monkey]

@Chester-Draws Pretty much haha. If a NZ side is in danger of losing to an overseas side it must be the refs fault.

[Gunner]

That was an exceptionally awful passage of play by the Crusaders, bad passes, dropsies, shovelling shit and a forward pass to finish it.

Come on Crusaders, sort it out will you!!!

@African-Monkey anyone who thinks Pickerill is competent is blind.

saders looking all kinds of average

[Machpants]

Yeah ref is shit, but sharks are playing good old fashioned smash em rugby, with a touch of modern rush. Saders rattled, and losing composure.

[Dice]

Fantasy team looking a bit sad. I thought I'd get a good haul of points from this game.

[Chester Draws]

And I said to wife that scrum was a Crusader collapse. No doubt the ref will be blind though as the real reason.

[Rebound]

Really this referee team. How the fuck is that the looshead collapsing when the tight head looses his blind under pressure

[Machpants]

Yeah binding on the arm, that was the assistant refs fault tho

[Canes4life]

Dumb rugby there and that will lead to more points.

[African Monkey]

@taniwharugby Never said he was fantastic but people on here are sulking and acting as if the Sharks being in this contest is down to pure luck.

[Stockcar86]

Half time entertainment better than the entirety of the rest of the game

[taniwharugby]

@African-Monkey when a ref is shit we are allowed to say it.

[Canes4life]

@African-Monkey hahah funny aye. They have outplayed the Crusaders tonight. Really missing Whitelock, Crotty, Mo'unga and Franks. Probs four best players tbh.

[Gunner]

Loving the consistency of the ref....

Sharks got the penalty for that same situation earlier, now the roles reversed and Sharks still get the penalty.

Anyone who thinks the ref hasn’t had a negative influence on this game has rocks in their head.

[Machpants]

What the fuck was that penalty for? That was better than the one where the shark had his elbows down

[gt12]

Sharks definitely getting the rub; however they are also playing a bit better. Saders need another plan, but we haven’t seen it yet...

[taniwharugby]

whole front row been changed now...

[Chester Draws]

@taniwharugby and you'll say it regardless if a Kiwi side is losing.

How are we to tell which it is?

[Donsteppa]

This is not according to my tipping plan.

Crusaders habit of waiting to the second half to hit top gear is catching them out for once.

[ACT Crusader]

Even that was a harshish penalty against the Sharks there. I thought both players dived at similar times.
