[Jailbreak7]

@Mattasaurus 2 I think.

[Victor Meldrew]

RM's kicking may be shit, but his D is bloody good.

How can AB players be so bad at exits?

Aversion therapy?

As is his covering across the field

[Jailbreak7]

Crusaders tighties vs Blues loosies, love it

[Gunner]

Fuck that’s a tough penalty!

[antipodean]

Is there any element of Beauden's game where skill execution isn't an issue?

[kev]

Blues still don’t have a lineout.

[Mattasaurus]

@antipodean he kicked a penalty....... and that was it

[Tim]

LOL, Tom Christie came out of the ruck and tried to tussle with his own player.

I worry about Leon. Surely you sub Akira on as an extra lineout option

who do you take off? as Choat has been huge in that first 40...

Huge he might be but you aren't going anywhere in this game without a lineout

[Bovidae]

While we're bagging Berry it seems halfbacks are now fair game at the back of rucks.

[KiwiMurph]

Did I see Heem come on?

[taniwharugby]

@Bovidae yeah something seems to have changed there in the last year or so, previously the guy wearing 9 was protected, but anyone else doign what the 9 would, wasnt....

[Mattasaurus]

Bloody entertaining game so far. Not sure Berry has got the scrum calls right.. felt the Blues were hard done by on a couple.

Blues have made a million tackles and it may come to haunt them later in the game.

Saders lineout has been excellent, surprised Blues haven't thrown Paps or Sotutu up.

some pretty poor kicking from both teams (the normal tripe from BB)

Going to be an interesting 2nd half, game wide open

[Jailbreak7]

Williams, Grace, Z Sullivan, Choat all making pretty good cases for selection.

The Darry injury makes it hard to make an early loose forward sub.

So you sit on your hands whilst your lineout gets destroyed?

Make a brave decision.

Reds subbed their whole front row after 37 mins last night.
