The more I watch Tate, the higher I consider the chances of Lions success if he's starting.
A good runner of the ball but that's basically it. There's a reason why he's never locked down the 9 jersey for Australia... There must be better options for the bench still.
Havili follows it up with an adroit kick into touch forcing the Reds to a defensive lineout five metres out.
Subsequent lineout the Reds fuck it up and Crusaders score

Where's the crowd?
At home
5 degrees and a southerly
Having been there I can confirm the stadium is an absolute shithole.

I'm told Cantabs are stoic, hardy people and don't care about such things

Yep, a shithole alright but not exactly their fault.
With the roofed stadium opening up next year, the Crusaders will lose their biggest advantage of freezing their opposition to death.

They also claim to watch rugby with both eyes......
The Reds are going to lose this not because they're cold, and getting bashed physically, but because they are taking the dumbest options possible

And they keep dropping it cold.

Red’s undoing some good work with handling errors
It's double trouble when their scrum is getting absolutely destroyed too

And it's because after the initial break, the Crusaders are recovering defensively and they're having a glance.
Nonggor is such a shit scrummager. No idea why he keeps getting selected

The new stadium does have a fog machine installed though….
Our midfield looking pretty good so far.
Fraser McReight is a damn good player. Just watching how active he is on both sides of the ball.

Paul?
Nah nah the big big fella.

From kicking the fuck out of the Reds scrum too hard

Haha I had a chuckle at that. Good job.

Awful pass Tate
Strange tactic from that lineout in that part of the field too.

Would love a McReight cam

Good communication though.

Now we can take him off 
lol classic commentary ‘seems to have recovered from that knee injury’ as Tamaiti proceeds to limp and grimace his was back to halfway.
