Brumbies v Crusaders

canefan

Brumbies were in perfect drop goal position, but chose to go wide when they only needed 3

ACT Crusader

Scooter with the try saver.

ACT Crusader

Fresh prop for 6 seconds.

ACT Crusader

And a scrum too!!!!

Canes4life

Well played Saders. What a shit hole Canberra is.

Canes likely to play there next week. Noooooo

ACT Crusader

Sheesh, we escaped with the win.

Tim

LOL, so much booing from that crowd.

Crusaders showed guts going and getting the go ahead try. The Brumbies choke, passing up a golden DG chance to try and run it in when they were only down by 2

There aren't many times I'm thrilled with a Crusaders win - this is one of those times.

Eat a bag of dicks Stan commentary and Brumbies supporters.

Having watched many a game at that stadium and cheered for any team other than the Brumbies (except the Bulls), it is always with great delight to hear the post game whingy boos.

His Bobness

The Brumbies supporters are the worst in Australia. Both rabid and clueless - the worst possible combination

Haha absolutely.

Well played the Crusaders, kept their nerve and got the away win!

Felt at the time that the Brumbies made the wrong call to go for the 3 with four minutes left as they had all the momentum at that stage. Let the Crusaders off the hook imo and gave them field position with the kickoff. Don't think the Crusaders would have come back had the Brumbies scored a try then.

@akan004 i think they got spooked from the previous lineout drive that went nowhere

Hotham having a bit of a shocker.

Struggled with kicking from the base. His hesitation followed by turnover turned the tide the wrong way in 2nd half. Not to mention charge down at start. But generally like his physical style.

So who are the brumbies and saders most likely to play next week?

antipodean

Stan commentary still complaining about referee decisions. Classless fluffybunnies.

He got us out of a few of difficult rucks especially with the Brumbies going hard at the ball. Of the all the teams this season, the Brumbies create the messiest ball for their opposition.

These commentators are shit. The ball rolled backwards from Reece’s hand. Here they are after the game whinging. An embarrassment.

And even if it hadn’t rolled backwards the Brumbies player on the ground grabbed Reece whilst he was clearing it. So the penalty was right call anyway.

Whilst I can’t hear what they are saying, I don’t actually mind a bit of post game whinging from the Aussie comms. Means they are hurting, means they are starting to care again. Means the Lions are just around the corner.

Watched it again cause they keep showing it - it goes backward. These guys haven’t won anything for years.

There's something about that stadium that just sucks the life out of ... well everything.

God it's just boring and lacking any atmosphere.

Hate watching matches from Canberra.

And this is why they aren't getting any Lions games.

Get a proper stadium.

I won't even make the effort to go out there. A cold, windy hole in the ground miles from everything and anything. No bars, no restaurants around it.

The exact opposite of Suncorp Stadium.

Have heard a lot of Aussies referring to Canberra as the armpit of Australia.

You complain about refereeing decisions all the time :grimacing_face:

Agree totally. The dinosaurs who always say take the 3 never think about the context of what happens next.

Also not setting up for a drop goal to win it was a mistake

Sure, we all whinge about refs — it’s part of being a fan of the game. But when paid commentators bang on like sore losers, it stops being banter and starts undermining the game. There’s a difference between entertaining a passionate audience and throwing a public tantrum in the commentary box. One’s fan passion at worst, the other’s just bad broadcasting IMO which degrades the product.
