Well done Tahs, huge win for them.
Tough loss for the Crusaders. Still working on their combinations especially from 9-13 which will take a bit of time doing, but never write them off, we all know about their ability to find a way. They'll still get to the playoffs let's be honest and then the real business starts from there.

@Bones Yeah that was a mistake. Drummond isn't anything special, but he at least brings a bit of calmness out there. Hotham ain't ready to start yet.

Some big mistakes from Havili in this game.
Yeah a series of stupid blunders from big and little players, mostly unforced, which the tinny fucking Waratahs gratefully gobbled up deep.
Pretty shit scoreline.

Felt like the coach was naming a "B" side and taking this game a bit lightly.

Cruasders have won a lot of games exactly this way

Yep, looked a bit like the ole Clan out there. Some good players but not in the positions that count. Young halves found wanting, midfield malfunctions, some dire self-harm decisions...When Drummond comes on and looks sharp...cripes! Long season ahead. Feel the north-south-island will need to be humble this year.

Might have been better to start Drummond alongside the new kid at 10 and havili.

Well that was ugly,very un Crusader like.
Kemara is very poor he should not be in a Crusaders jersey.
Havilli and Bell were shit as well.
Apart From Barrett Reece and Hannah off the bench the rest should have to swim home in shark infested waters.
Pretty disgusted by that performance. -
RA taking over the Tahs is paying immediate dividends. Other Unions should take notice.

Let's wait until they crash against the Clan before we go stroking Phil's ego, eh?

I can see there still being four certainties in the forwards (Williams, Taylor, Barrett, Blackadder), but people calling for the likes of Strange to be selected should be in for a reality check.
Newell and probably only Reece from the backs (at this point of time)

Pretty disgusted by that performance.That was not flash by Crusaders, perhaps some credit to the Tahs should be given I thought. I know for some Crusaders' fans noone else deserves to be good enough to beat them. I genuinely thought the Tahs went well.
And though I agree that Kemara struggled in first game to say should not be in Crusaders' jersey a bit over top. He was kind of thrown in deep end, and I thougt didn't get the support from Havili I hoped, and Hotham looked pretty clunky. I also agree Bell struggled (as he did last week I thought) and seems to me to be one who is struggling with step up' But anyway, I still think the Crusaders will go alright, don't see them topping table , but will still be there or thereabouts, and perhaps good news is Auusie teams just maybe more competitive this year.
