Last bit of play was comedy gold just needed the Benny Hill sound track

Well, it was at least better than the KFC Catch the Colonel bit they just showed live ...

Fark me, that was embarrassing.

Canes4life

lol did anyone see the halftime entertainment. Poor bugger had to be Usain Bolt to beat the colonel.

Bovidae

We can criticise the Aussie refs but Williams is a terrible ref.

I'm sure Blackadder was in front of Barrett in the lineout before Williams try. That's obstruction.

Canes4life

Rivez going off is a secret ploy to get Richie Mo back next week now that he’s finished his Japan season.

antipodean

@Bovidae IMO he's the worst SR ref in NZ. I still recall him denying the Ioane brothers try which at the time I thought was the result of an aneurysm.

@ACT-Crusader

I’ll double down … in a knockout game?

2 scores ahead to 3 is a big diff.

But @KiwiMurph does make a very good point ….

Not the greatest conditions for kicking either. D that one was way out wide.

Fk sake Sky Sport get Taylor Johnson off your commentary team. What a stupid thing to say to the Reds coach. Embarrassing.

Second stupid thing she’s said tonight.

@Canes4life 💯 about as unprofessional as it gets ..well done to the Reds assistant coach for correcting her

That’s the worst I’ve seen for a while. Terrible.

What did she say?

Basically, “final 40 minutes of the season, what did you say to the players”

@Bones last 40 minutes of the season for your team 🤦🏻

She said "potentially".

I thought I'd missed some other gaff, but that was just him being precious.

ACT Crusader

I didn't hear the potentially, but even then, it’s a terrible question to ask.

KiwiMurph

She's right. It is the final 40. Reds have been shit

Huh, I thought it was a pretty typical question. She's definitely not the first to pose it.

booboo

Meant to have a whinge at the time. Just before the break when Reds chased through the kick, Ryan went off his feet on Jordan., should have been penalty to Sith.

Canes4life

Crusaders score here, it’s all over you’d think.

booboo

If she said "potentially " it's a fair question

ACT Crusader

Blyth is a huge unit.

Did she say potentially though? If so, fair enough, I just heard different at the time. If she didn’t then poor form IMO.

booboo

Saders leave the door open

ACT Crusader

Some poor decision making in the last 5-6 minutes.

@Mattasaurus said in QF Crusaders v Reds:

red scrum smoked

Their set pieces have been under pressure all game.

An inability to secure possession in these conditions is effectively waving a white flag.

That attacking phase looked devoid of ideas or structure. Just hoping to bash through against some good defence.

Love the # of technical scrum pens aussie teams manufacture when their scrum is getting pumped.

Canes4life

Dumb rugby by the Reds. You’ve surely got to keep the ball in hand when you’re in the oppositions half.

NTA

Williams doesn't seem to be able to make a snap decision. Always delayed

KiwiMurph

Disappointing Mounanu isn't featured in the 23 at the business end. Looks a future AB.

NTA

Hasn't the shine come off Paisami? Completely anonymous

Landers92

Shit the Crusaders run one hell off a defensive system. Their organization and how clinical they are is quality.

antipodean

That's fantastic by Hotham

ACT Crusader

That’s a TJP try to a tee

Bones

Perenara to a tee.

Canes4life

Lovely Hotham. That’s the game.
