Rebels v Crusaders

[Duluth]

Good long pass from Bridge

[Yeetyaah]

@Duluth only took him 2 years to do something worth noting.

[Bones]

Goodhue has looked excellent for a first game back

[NTA]

About 6 minutes delay. Fuck me this awful

[taniwharugby]

@Bones ah did the production company put up the graphic showing some subs...

[taniwharugby]

Gotta say despite all the missed tackles the Rebels have scrambled well tonight to snuff out some good breaks the Crusaders have made

[KiwiMurph]

Bridge.....

Wilkin has been great value.

However, any attacking spark they've got is about to get killed by the introduction of Powell

Haha.

[taniwharugby]

That's twice they've been pinged for that now, simple lack of awareness of what's going on

[Damo]

I wish NZ teams would put away the attcking kick. Hold onto the ball for some phases and build pressure rather than trying to score in one play.

[taniwharugby]

@Damo bloody hate them.

[antipodean]

That was amazingly poor ruck defence.

[KiwiMurph]

The skill level gap between these teams is enormous.

T Williams ABs? Wouldn't mind it.

[Yeetyaah]

Incredible try

[taniwharugby]

Matera has been huge in the 2nd spell.

Nice finish by Williams

[NTA]

61:22 - Crusaders throw the ball in. Two of their players move inside the 5m before Whitelock drops it down to them. Is that illegal? Lineout isn't over, after all. Only the hooker could be there I thought?

I'd have him over Bower.

Once the ball is thrown you can move.

I looked it up and there's no restrictions on moving into that space once ball is thrown. Cf. the 15m line, which is disallowed.
