@stargazer Jeez, like that's a new plan! I'm sure the Saders will have prepared for that accordingly.

Anyone else watching this? Saders missed some early points, and right now it’s pretty messy.

Dreadful miss at an attempted PG by Hunt.
Still 0-0 in the 11th minute

Has Perry ever been in scrum?

Perry getting owned out there.

Has Bryn Hall ever made a tackle?

Mitch Hunt fucks up twice.

Lions in. That looked pretty easy.

Don’t see any blue jerseys.

Mitch Hunt fucks up twice.

Make that three times.

Saders in but might be forward. Looked ok from the hands.

@shadowtrooper I think you mean Brian.

Why on earth did Hunt pass that? He was basically over the line.

Why the fuck is every single try checked by the TMO?

How do referees/ TMOs not understand physics?

Typical South African stich up job. How can their referees be so unashamedly biased

FFS Hunt.

Saders aren’t helping themselves

They look like they are trying to score on every phase, pushing some bad passes

That was a mile forward, how is he trying to plead his case with that one?

@gt12 Yeah agree there, lot of spilled passes. Goodhue looks like he is running in sand

Is that 3 against Perry, btw? If so, he must be close to worrying about yellow.

I didn’t dream him getting called up to the ABs, did I?

At least 'Alllalalalatua' is trying to take them on up the middle

How many steps does Hunt need before kicking? It’s like Riverdance out there.

Is the rugby ball unfamiliar to them? Have they substituted it for the Kookabura ball perhaps?

Should have taken the three. Get some points on the board!

@akan004 Yup.

Who the fuck said Perry could scrum?

Bit of a free for all at the ruck. Marx kind of game.

WTF was that Goodhue?

Execution letting us down sadly. Just feel we're going to be blown away in the last twenty. I hope I'm wrong

When you're a prop and can't seem to survive on your feet longer than the "e" in "set", you might want to take a look at your technique.

Crotty clearly not better than Laumape, must be injured right?

Still thoroughly perplexed as to why Hunt passed the ball when he was one stride from falling over the try line with no defender in front of him.

I feel the crusaders would be performing a LOT better with a different 1, 9, 10.

Geez, Perry and Hunt. So bad.

Hunt has possibly cost the Saders 17 points .. those 2 unnecessary forward passes could have been tries. Missed penalty kick.
Perry can't scrum.

Crotty, Taufua, Havili and Sam Whitelock playing very well though.

They need to up their game. Difficult at altitude, but they are better than this.

Gotta love Stransky. Aside from the times the Crusaders would have scored but made mistakes, they haven't created opportunities. Riiiight...

Crotty is injured, and in other news, the earth is round.

Fucking hell Hunt.

@gt12 can't buy a trick!

Finally. Needed that desperately.

Nice work skip

@akan004 you get the feeling with that territory and possession the crusaders may have a decent chance of dominating this second half.

Hunt!

My god they worked hard for that.

Of course it’s being checked.

@bones As long as they don't suffer from the effects of the altitude like in the final last year, they should be ok.

Goodhue scores!

Justice there. Terrible forward pass missed
