Crusaders v Western Force

@Old-Samurai-Jack said in Crusaders v Western Force:

Western Force have always been a bit of a bogey team for the Crusaders esp. in Perth, haven't they?

Yes. Crusaders have 3 wins, 2 losses and a draw in Perth

Last game there was 2016 and the Crusaders only won 20-19

Results: Crusaders in Perth

Should be Crusaders by plenty this time though

Tab is offering an 18.5 point head start. That sounds about right (assuming no red cards or refs having a shocker)

@Duluth typically the Crusaders hit Perth as the final stop on the way home from the Republic, which would play its part in thier performances.

@Duluth And that was a try right on the bell to win it too.

Covid?

[Stargazer]

@Crazy-Horse That would be my guess.

[Grooter]

@Stargazer man if Will Tucker wasn't in the states he would've been playing some rugby for the crusaders on this tour of Aussie

I feel like I dropped acid.

Respect, yes, but damn this goes on a bit

[Tim]

@Duluth Man this shit they do in Australia before games is just taking the piss.

[KiwiMurph]

Do these players read the laws?

[Duluth]

Good kick, saw LF out of position

[Crazy Horse]

The Saders are half asleep again. Terrible start.

[Crazy Horse]

That is why I.have doubts about LF. Slow on the turn there.
