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.

What did she say?

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

She said "potentially".

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

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

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

red scrum smoked

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

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.

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

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

Good D so far.

Take 3

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.

Saders leave the door open

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

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.

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

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

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

Hasn't the shine come off Paisami? Completely anonymous

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

That's fantastic by Hotham

How good was that

That’s a TJP try to a tee

Perenara to a tee.

Lovely Hotham. That’s the game.

TJ at his best!

Excellent try.

Classic!

Great pressure and team work followed by individual brilliance... lovely to watch

I think you nailed that comparison.

@Landers92 when the opposition is void of ideas that helps also why kick all your ball away
Reds have been a massive disappointment

Who?

Abysmal defending by whichever Reds players had hands on Hotham and didn't bring him to ground for some reason? Hotham should never have been in a position to chase his own kick.

Needed that. Closing(but not locking) the door

I like the look of Reihana. Where do we rate him in the AB pecking order?

Has there ever been a less intimidating All Black trio I injected from the bench than George Bell, Cullen Grace and Dallas McLeod?

Yeah I think it’s a bit of both. Gotta give the Crusaders credit for making the reds look so average

@Darth-Sader not even close and I’m from Northland
