He was moved there by request from the AB coach though was he not ?

Yep. And good to see the coaches working together.

[Duluth]

Good defence

Hames is terrible

[Damo]

That is a dodgy call there. He said "release" player pulled his hands out and disrupted the ball. Should be a PK to Crusaders.

[KiwiMurph]

Deserved Reds win.

Highly entertaining game.

[Duluth]

The Reds finally win a close one

[Horatio]

@Damo I guess its balanced out by the fact they got awarded a try without grounding the ball?

Going in to bat for the Saders: ref missed a couple of "marginal" calls at the end.

And Crusaders got awarded a try they shouldn't have.

AR saw it down. TV did not show it not down.

AR was wrong and TMO was gutless. Reds got dudded.

@booboo Lol

Yeah the TMO decision was far worse.

I just thought that was a pretty clear decision that ref bottled because of the time on the clock. Any other time in the game he very likely gives that PK.

The best 10 the Crusaders have had this year. Not an AB level performance but they should stick with him

He was very good in the first half, gained lots and lots of ground with his PK kicks for touch, distributed well. Second half was mediocre, the charge down was very bad, but other than that he was OK.

Crusaders lost it with their powder puff forwards, getting the ball stripped in general play and in contact.

[Damo]

Crusaders will do well to make it from here.

It doesn't get any easier for them. Highlanders next week and they are on a roll at the moment.

You could see mcnicholl lost control. You could say the same about the try that the crusaders were awarded when it shouldn’t have been. Can’t pick and choose when it suits

[Canes4life]

@Damo Blues and then Brumbies after that. Lose to the Landers and it could be curtains for the Crusaders.

[Landers92]

Jeez social media full of one eyed fans crying. Complaining about a couple calls but ignoring their try that got awarded when it shouldn’t have been😂😂 Crusaders fans are something else when the shoe is finally on the other foot.
