Crusaders v Brumbies

Landers92

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

Torian

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

Landers92

Bit of a dog shot from Blackadder imo

KiwiMurph

Excellent Brumbs

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

Landers92

Missing that conversion… that could be crucial

KiwiMurph

Good rugby there

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

Torian

Cale is a superstar

KiwiMurph

Brumbies should win now

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

@KiwiMurph bit early for mine still 20 to go

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

KiwiMurph

Crusaders had to work very hard for those points.

Torian

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

Torian

I'm starting to think my Canes, Blues, Ireland, Scotland & Crusaders Multi is all but over

KiwiMurph

Brumbies look the best team in the comp early doors

Brumbies deserved winners

@Mattasaurus was thinking the same thing but when you pick up the try

yup at 30 years, Super rugby is a poor shadow of what it once was..... SA leaving really was the final death blow for me

KiwiMurph

For all of Blackadder's endeavour hs is very ineffectual at the breakdown

Holy heck what a result for the Brumbies

he simply hasn't lived up to the hype in my opinion - especially after been repeatedly broken for extended periods

W32

Wow I don’t remember the crusaders being this bad

Torian

Toole in open space it's a beautiful sight

Toole just cooks them at the end..... raw pace wins

You clearly didnt watch 2 years ago

Cale and Valentini have been brilliant on the carry today
Valentini with several dominant carries when his team required it
Muirhead has been outstanding
This is a statement….
