<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>

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

Another shit pass from Ellis.
-
<p>Back to the Crusaders of old :(</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Force have no lineout, and a passable scrum, but Crusaders have been so profligate. Especially Ellis.</p> -

<p>But nah, unlike you and some other Cantabs, I'm pretty sure most of us support country over everything else. Still time though.</p> -

<p>Suuure was.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even after the Force try I was pretty sureeither the Saders would improve enough to win or the Force would fall to pieces and let them win. Both kinda ended up happening but fuck, they made getting the ball across the line look near impossible.</p> -
<p>Fuck me how did the Crusaders almost lose to the bloody farce? They are the most boring team in the comp, sick of watching them.</p>
<p>Thought Volavola and McNichol had good moments but why the hell Blackadder has stopped using Macilai when they are crying out for someone with some spark I will never know.</p>
<p>Their game plan seems to be give it Nadolo, lock hit up in midfield, give it to Nadolo, lock hit it up in midfield, repeat. If it doesn't come off they don't have many other options.</p>
<p>Don't know what Ellis was thinking taking a quick tap right infront of the sticks with about 10 min to go. I used to rate him but Im glad he didn't make the RWC in the end.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the plus side thought Read had one of his better game in a while, still not his best though. Taufua was the only standout. MOM for sure.</p>
<p>Didn't think ref was too bad either which was a positive.</p> -
<p>First half - complete control, but didn't collect the points on offer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Second half was absolutely fucking woeful. Wild passes being thrown left, right and centre. No-one committing to rucks. No-one taking the ball forward - maybe Taufua. High kicks with no-one contesting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It crossed my mind that we'd been nobbled by the bookies.</p>
