Reds look vastly more physical - dominating most collisions.

Handling and decision making, not so much.

Was not impressed by Kellow

I’m sure I saw his name mentioned by someone in the All Black thread this week😂

The Reds have been the better team and deserve the win.

Can the Crusaders salvage something at the end ?

McReight has a cloak….

Is Reece now a contact shy bitch? Imagine stopping to pass to a halfback and make him smash into contact.

Goodnight. That will do it. Huge for the reds

@Jnr called mark and got smoked. Hard one when he’s committed I guess. Looked cheap at the time, replay shows it wasn’t as bad as i first thought.

I'm slightly biased as they're my team, but he definitely smoked him.

Werchon a Wallaby for me

Straight through Dom Gardiners hands.

The Reds saved their season.

Crusaders are a shadow of what they have been.
