The Ponies hands tonight have been superb. The little pop pass has opened up the defence.

We’ve looked kak since Blackadder went off

Brumbies right back in it.

@canefan At least Poidevin is gone for good.

@Mr-Fish Ahead of Love?

I think there's space for both, especially if just two specialist wingers are selected.

Brumbies backs are just so much better

This ‘Tamarty Williams’ stuff is starting to get on my nerves. They aren’t even making an effort to get some names right

Love and Reihana the pick of the younger 10s this year.

Big mistake by Johnny.

Think Rob Penney will be sweating on some of the timings of these subs. Blackadder off at half means you’ve had two 7’s out there for 40mins in Kellow and Christie. Bell on early for Taylor in an arm wrestle while you have 2 very green props on the bench which means both props will close close to if not over 70mins…

Might all come back to haunt him here

Always put the game away before you roll the subs

Absolutely. Especially against a Brumbies forward pack littered with Wallabies

JOC playing second five with McLeod off?

Neither of whom have had much of an impact. You need big bodies to bully Australian forward packs.

Crusaders forwards can't generate a turnover

Put in 2-3 consecutive big tackles there too.

Brumbies reserve front row aren't exactly world beaters to be fair.

Crusaders can't afford to go into the play-offs shanked, and some of these guys have played some big minutes lately.

Brumbies the best in the comp when the ball hits the deck.

Is Tamaiti Williams the most important player in the Crusaders side? Imagine if he got injured.

Him and Bower right now are irreplaceable

Valetini on the charge is a sight to see.
