    Check out the first Waratahs try. How lazy was Grace? Worst defender in the competition.

    @Tim Absolute lazy fluffybunny. I don't want to see him anywhere near a Black Jersey until he fixes this massive flaw in his game.

      Cullen Grace to Blues fans is what Akira Ioane was to Crusaders fans circa 2019 haha.

      Was that pass from Reece on the inside when he was going out in the lead up to the Lio Willie try not forward?

      Good game that, the Tahs have been in some great contests this year. We'll played both sides.

        I'm still shaking my head in disbelief as to what Reihana did. He didn't even have to kick it, they were a point ahead.

        Good point, although he did kick it once the clock was red on the screen.

          I can’t see Grace adding much to the All Blacks based on what I have seen from him this year.

            After watching game , I went to nbed thinking I had just watched a couple of bog standard teams play, and the game's saving grace was score alternating. For Crusaders Reece was full energy bunny, but generally apart from maybe Hannah ,I didn't think any really put hand up. Have to agree with @DaGrubster ,I not sure Grace looks test class, good in lineouts, but fairly average apart from that? Backline just seem flat as f*** to me, headless chooks at time. Defence quite optional.
            Tahs deserved win, but were hardly a real good team either!

              What is the actual law on restart after scoring. Had a quick flick through the laws on line but gave up.

                Just further to the above, in the men's 7s last week France tried to forfeit the conversion in order to allow the restart. (But ref ruled try was scored after the hooter.)

                  Having just watched the end of the match Berry seems to be saying to Reihana that the stadium clock is correct, which is not always in sync with the TV clock. I noticed that the TV clock kept ticking over when they were checking Lilo-Willie's try. There was about 30 secs wasted there. I'm not absolving Reihana, just adding to the confusion.

                    @Bovidae it's not like it's pro sports where the clock matters right? Just let it roll baby, don't be bothered with details.

                      @Bovidae my brother inlaw was there at the game, he said Reihana had kicked it after 80th minute so was confused as to why the ref restarted.

                            Plenty of competition in that loose forward space

                              Even at his best he was probably not test standard. Never understood the hype.

                                  @Tim who was red 16 throwing that? He went and got concussed shortly after with a tackle that was probably too low

                                          It must be pretty hard for any of the Crusaders players to shine at the moment as the team is in crisis mode and trying to get their season to a point of some type of respectability.

                                          Not sure if the Tahs deserved it but they took their chance when they got a sniff at the end. Much like the ABs in the Raynal test in Aus.

                                          The clock/last kick is really curious. I don’t think I have ever had to consider thinking about this before.

                                          I know they had a lot of injuries and defections but the Crusaders really shouldn’t be this bad!
