Crusaders v Rebels

[Machpants]

Reff trying to even it up. Scrum down by rebels, play on. Knock on, picked up from offside, carry on

[Canes4life]

Barrett has been awesome, Strange has been horrible.

Rebels look overawed, 2023 vintage Crusaders might have even been up by 30 by now. 2024 vintage might still get there soon if they can improve their accuracy

[Machpants]

Guy tried to rip 11 head off, nothing called. WTAF!

[Duluth]

Good kick Gordon

[Machpants]

88% territory, only ten points lol

[Damo]

Rebels score here and go to the break only 3 down. They'd then be favourites in the second half.

[African Monkey]

Crusaders should be out of sight by now, but I still back them to get the job done in the 2nd half.

I think they still are favourites, scrum dominance gone, so saders have to learn patience and intelligence during half time, or rebels win

[Tordah]

Crusaders only being up by 10 shows their problem. A shit backline and so many unforced errors. And why did they go to the corner when they could have taken a 5 m scrum just before they changed their front row? Idiots.

Probably worth getting Havili out there quickly. Although he wasn’t in good form earlier in the year

[Canes4life]

What's K Read's gig? Does he just turn up to Crusader matches as a hype man? I haven't noticed him at other games around the country.

[Machpants]

Barrett's hands are very good

[Canes4life]

Saders should win from here. Barrett has been massively influential.

[Duluth]

Lio-Willie is the Crusaders best loose forward

[Canes4life]

Jeez the Rebels are at all sorts.

Yep. They needed to hold on before half time and score first in the second half.

I suspect they will run away with it from here.

[Damo]

He can't dive on that ball like that. Ball is either still in, or more likely just emerging from the ruck.

The Crusaders biggest secret weapon for me is the cold conditions, I'm sure every team in Super Rugby are glad they are building a roofed stadium.
