[Bones]

<p>Oh and Codie Taylor is looking bloody good, in good shape too.</p>

<p>That step for McNicholl's try was awesome. Volavola having a bit of a meltdown.</p>

[Bones]

<p>Crusaders with some decent defence, but saved by a bit of white line fever there. Force narrow the Crusaders lead, 13-12. Crusaders have lost their shape a bit on attack.</p>

[Canerbry]

<p>Force have been attacking all second half, came away with 3 points. Ref affected by home crowd a few times too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>S Whitelock off now which is bad.</p>

[Bones]

<p>When did Ellis come on? They missed him I reckon, immediate go forward.</p>

[Canerbry]

<p>Aussie comms demonstrably wrong over and over again!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ellis on for Drummond.</p>

[Bones]

<p>McNicholl with his 3rd turnover....</p>

[Canerbry]

<p>Taufua having a blinder.</p>

[antipodean]

Crusaders showing the benefit of their awesome coaching...

[Bones]

<p>McNicholl really does get manhandled more often than not, it's odd, it's not like his size is the issue, does he just have poor balance or no strength?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Franks has taken some pearlers off his toes this match.</p>

Glad we didn't get carried away with rotating players.<br><br>
This is the sort of game we have done exactly that in previous years and paid for it.<br><br><br>
I think this year Toddy has changed a couple of things.<br><br>
Firstly, his rotation policy as I outlined above<br><br>
Secondly, I think he's learnt from Jamie Joseph and the highlanders.. instead of constantly fanning out across the field we are committing more numbers to breakdowns this year in search of turnovers and quick ruck ball.<br><br><br>
Both changes are very positive in my ipinion.</p></blockquote>

[Wally]

That breakdown policy didn't last long.

[Bones]

<p>Volavola obviously had a word to Cairns at halftime.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Crusaders are routinely running out of numbers on attack in this half, what's up with that?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Force take the lead 19-13.</p>

[Unco]

<p>Man that Force try was ugly.</p>

[Canerbry]

<p>I'm sure you're all very happy the Australian team is now in front...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A bit of obstruction in the try there, Volavola can't complain though, too many errors when the Force are allowed to hang out in our backline like that.</p>

[Canerbry]

<p>Jordan Taufua having a blinder.</p>

[bbarcs]

Crusaders too dumb to win this.<br><br>
Save those stupid line-out moves for warm up games fellas. Throwing points away.

<p>I wouldn't usually be, I'm not from Canterbury. But fuck it, now you're here, go Force!</p>

[Canerbry]

<p>Not slick McNicholl...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>WHAT THE FUCK you went 8 phases under advantage at the other end ref.</p>
