Crusaders v Brumbies

Basic skills again ... expect better from Jordan

Straight between CLW and Newell. Too easy for Muirhead there.

Would love to see Pritchard in space

Crusaders with some lovely play at times but they really lack pace on the wings

@KiwiMurph Bell is their best winger

Nice Brumbies try

Both fullbacks causing havoc

Slipper up the middle... nice lines but some very average tackling

Some more weak defending by Newell. Fell off very easily

Muirhead a real spark for the Brumbies need to use Toole as well

Brainless play by Jordan

I am shocked and dismayed .. Saders actually getting warned for infringements in their 22.... but how on earth do they get away with 6 of them before they get a warning?

The grub sees yellow.

deserved YC

This Charlie cale guy is gonna push Harry Wilson very soon I reckon

@Grooter Wilson has got that extra bulk but Cale is such an athlete

Brumbies showing they will be there or there about at the pointy end of the season

Kemara a little suspect defensively

This is year three of Rob Penney, and for me this is the problem with the way the Crusaders play. It is admirable, but it is way too loose to be effective long-term. It leaves too much up to variance, when really all they need to do is play high possession rugby, using their strength which is their forward pack.

Brumbies need to hold the ball if they a view of winning this game

Brumbies first penalty of the game is a yellow card… classic

Excellent reffing.... felt there was a few other quick taps that could've been called this weekend

I think Bell is a fun watch around the field but he sometimes struggles at his main job lol

Crusaders are gifting this game to the Brumbies

Bit of a dog shot from Blackadder imo

Excellent Brumbs

Game on

that's what happens when you find grass on those kicks.... well taken opportunity by the Brumbies

Missing that conversion… that could be crucial

Good rugby there

Finally we see an NZ team put it through the hands..... nice try

Cale is a superstar

Brumbies should win now

Wilson and Cale .... good options for the wobblies

@KiwiMurph bit early for mine still 20 to go

I said should win. Didnt say they would.

While I like the speed of play improvements ... i don't think the lax rulings around the break down and the constant ref coaching of players helps super rugby players at all when they step up to international duties .. I do appreciate the ref coaching can help the flow of the game.... but a simple "hands away now" and then a whistle if hands are not moved should be the extent of it

Crusaders had to work very hard for those points.

Good try from Leicester but Jesus Kemara you needed to get that over son

Crusaders Keystone Cops with some flashes of brilliance. Frustrating.

Brumbies should take the 3
edit forgot about the wind
