Crusaders vs Highlanders pre-season
-
Coltman scores another from a good lineout drive.
Crusaders pretty weak in defending that.
@Chris-B hasn't been something we've been hugely successful with even with Dixon at the boot so that's cool to hear

@Kiwiwomble Two tries from lineout drives - the second was very good. Got really good weigh on and powered over.
The Crusaders should really have scored from one as Duluth mentioned above, but they broke away from the main maul and someone got in front of the ball carrier.
Typical early season game, but the Highlanders significantly more cohesive than the Crusaders.
A bit harsh to single out any of the Crusaders for a lashing (they are all deserving of one), but Tony Brown won't be too concerned about axing Josh McKay on his efforts to date.

always a question how much you can read into these games as there are so many of the "first string" guys missing...but its still good to hear, if nothing else some confidence for some of the fringe/new players
pretty much different teams in the second half so could easily swing the other way
sounds like sio stayed out of trouble?
-
reading through the text commentary and they seem to mention a lot of grubbers and chips?
-
"Both sides are struggling with the fatigue of the game as the scrum takes a while to set"
...shouldn't be with pretty much a new tea at half time

He's off - it was Newell scored the try.

damn, talk about a game of two halfs
-
@Chris-B oh, the commentary lists him
-
@Kiwiwomble Definitely off.
He went down like he'd been hit by a sniper.
Crusaders score from a 12 man lineout drive.
Highlanders use their challenge and find a fault - surprise, surprise.
No try.
This is going to be a dubious rule!
that Cameron bloke seems ok....
edit: really, the commentary said they found nothing wrong...
