Crusaders v Brumbies

[Donsteppa]

A very lacklustre half from the Crusaders. Given the effort vs the Waratahs two weeks ago, looks like consistency is an issue for Robertson to sort out.

Where's Romano? He was very influential when he came on against the Blues.

[Stargazer]

It's a pity Taylor had to be pulled due to a tight calf. They're missing him.

I wonder when the Crusaders were last kept scoreless at home in the first 40. Some pretty aimless kicking by the Crusaders and their back 3 I don't think are a cohesive unit yet as there has been a lot of space behind the wingers.

Good try there.

I’ve been pretty unimpressed by how inaccurate Read has been.

[98blueandgold]

The inconsistency of calls. Although I hate the crusaders Strange get hit in the head and doesn’t score yet scrum! If the play the law it’s a yellow and penalty try.

[Donsteppa]

A much better second half.

[gt12]

Need 30 odd more points to get my tipping back on track...

[Tim]

High shot?

[Donsteppa]

Brumbies should be down to 13.

[gt12]

Why isn’t this being checked?

[ACT Crusader]

Nice kick.

Am liking Will on the wing.

[Tim]

@gt12 Yep, clear high shot.

[gt12]

@Tim

Feels like they are benefitting from having one in the bin? Or because they scored? Either way, it should be separate.

[Tim]

@gt12 Maybe the ref thought penalty only as he was falling/dipping into the tackle?

Three high tackles in the act of scoring now. One is a scrum to Brumbies. One is a try plus yellow but conversion missed rather than penalty try and the third is just a try and no further sanction.
This sort of shit is killing rugby watching for me.

[Steven Harris]

Do not adjust your set,normal service has resumed..!

[gt12]

@Tim

That would be a good reason, but I thought head shots weren’t mitigated that way?

[gt12]

Shame that was forward.

Read on the edge more would help.

[ACT Crusader]

Havili?????? No need for that
