@KiwiMurph Good. Faina'anuku is a far better prospect anyway.

[sparky]

Highlanders to cause an upset?

[KiwiMurph]

Oh good... Wheeler again....

[Dice]

It's quite sad that only the minnow teams are playing this week..

[Kiwiwomble]

@sparky I think we’re missing a real superstar in the back line, a smith , naholo or fekitoa

[KiwiMurph]

No Blackadder for the game.

WTF was that pass

[taniwharugby]

@Anonymous WTF was that Crusaders move that isolated thier own player

[junior]

Harsh penalty on DLB there

[Bones]

Interesting. Did that offside penalty come from a crusaders player accidentally kicking it into a player in front and then clearing out? Seemed pretty suspect.

@taniwharugby @Anonymous Drummond is not as quick as Hall with his pass and reaction. Puts us under more pressure.

Pretty good defensive pressure from the Landers.

I think it was Landers 7 standing offside at the ruck and then making a tackle. Was very marginal I thought.

Yeah that's what I mean - that ruck was caused by a crusaders offside player.

[ACT Crusader]

@Bones I think he was already offside before the “off the boot call”

Lienert-Brown is pretty sus in the scrum.

[Kiwiwomble]

I just don’t get why penalties are given when one scrum just demolished another, that just penalising someone for not being strong enough, they can’t change that

His back looks tweaked. He should be subbed.

[taniwharugby]

@Kiwiwomble yeah I've never been a fan of when teams play for a card and PT due to a inferior scrum

[KiwiMurph]

Crusaders finally have a left winger with some actual punch.
