Brumbies v Crusaders

Bones

One thing I do like seeing is Wright arrogantly persisting with the sloppy one hand carrying. Ripe for being ripped apart at international level.

Bones

And that arrogance almost costs a try.

Johnny McNicholl is playing better now than he was last here 8 plus years ago.

Tim

That was some very casual play.

That was some very casual play.

Still on replay are ya?

Tim

Brumbies defence is awful, but Crusaders 9 and 10 worse.

Tim

How to bomb a try!

Bones

This propensity to kick the fucking ball away when hot on attack is hurting the crusaders

African Monkey

Hotham scores.

Brumbies could come to regret not taking advantage in the red zone.

Tim

@African-Monkey Massively. Such a dumb moment for a team that used to be very accurate.

Do hookers practice lineout throwing? Doesn't look like it

Was he held?

Tim

@nzzp looked like he crawled

Frustrating for such a core role. NZ used to have that problem in the early 2000s. Like half backs that can't pass

Huh. Refs said propelled himself forward.

I don't know any more...

African Monkey

@nzzp He had to release or reach out.

KiwiMurph

@nzzp I think it was probably a try but not the smartest play. Asking for trouble. Just be patient and set up another phase.

KiwiMurph

@nzzp He had to release or reach out.

Why does he have to release when he was never held

African Monkey

@KiwiMurph I don't know haha, I'm just assuming O'Keeffe deemed him as held.

@KiwiMurph I don't know haha, I'm just assuming O'Keeffe deemed him as held.

And that was where I started...I wasn't convinced he was held.
