Involved but not really playing like a 7.

He's lost. Started the second half overrunning and/or leaning on rucks.

Busy idiot would be best way to describe him

Was a 50% retention rate carrying at one stage, but I might have missed some towards the end of the first.

Kinda get the feeling Gardiner and CLW are keeping a close eye on him around the breakdown looking to tidy up.

Not sure why the waratahs player is surprised there. That was blatant and stupid

Also just realised he doesn't have his legs strapped for the lineout.

And he smashes over for a try

That's a heck of a try from there.

Marshall “overwhelming success”. Fuck me

Has someone thought about playing the guy at 12 yet?

See, Leicester could still do that as a winger...

He's going quite well.

If Erasmus had picked him there he'd be a genius!

Bring on the mid field lineout!

@antipodean Narawa, Reece, Tavatavanawai often do

Newell takes out two tacklers while Taylor runs behind him... play on?

Who was that Havili knocked out?

Shit that was a good tackle from Newell for a prop

Playing out of his mind

Tahs 12 is at Lancaster park

Was always going to be a few home town calls tonight even with Berry on the whistle

The ABs prop stocks are looking incredibly good

@jimmyb said in Crusaders Vs Waratahs:

Not the one from Ennor?

I thought Jorgensen was away for all money there. Great effort.

@jimmyb said in Crusaders Vs Waratahs:

He's got great aceleration for a prop!

That try was fantastic to watch

Class try!

No the covering tackle he did on Jorgensen. Most props would have been gassed

Max cocked that up.

Skillful from Gardiner. Great work

Really nice!

If McLeod had some genuine pace he'd be a very good winger.

That’s a shocker by Havili. SBW 2017 eat your heart out.

Mitigation will keep that a yellow

Would be interesting at centre

@Chris-B. There’s a few with that issue unfortunately in NZ Rugby

Havili has had a bang average game.

Ioane Moananu doing everything he can to help his former side

Tahs 18 could be in trouble

It looked really bad but nothing…

I really wish our commentators would stop with the cheerleading narratives and actually critique the match in front of them - its like they are not allowed to be critical of any player
