Weather is good for some footy.

Crowd not so much.

[ACT Crusader]

@KiwiMurph I’m here at the stadium and Gordon Ramsey just walked by me.

[Chris]

Codie Taylor out gone home for Family reasons.

[Bones]

Mounga one of the top three players in world rugby

[Duluth]

Ioane Moananu is the reserve hooker, McAlister starts

[ACT Crusader]

Easy metres up the middle and then out wide. Good kick by Macca

[KiwiMurph]

Williams isn't going to enjoy that on replay.

[Duluth]

Tamaiti should’ve done better on defence there. He missed the hit

[KiwiMurph]

What a tackle!

He didn’t even get in position to make that tackle.

[ACT Crusader]

Great run by Ekuasi. His whole family are sitting behind me. Party time

[Winger]

14-7 Rebels. 2 good tries after Crusaders score

[ACT Crusader]

Excellent read by Burke to make the chip into space.

Good hit back try.

[ACT Crusader]

Good quick ball for the Rebels.

[KiwiMurph]

This is like watching a Fozzie AB team.

[Winger]

3 tries to 2 after 26 minutes

21-12 Rebels. Rebels playing well

[Duluth]

Gardiner should’ve got a YC for that

I haven’t seen a replay but I thought the ball came out of the ruck loosely and he just dived on the ball to recover it

@ACT-Crusader

Always in an offside position. Blatant killing of the play
