    Crusaders clearly the dominant team, but can't convert it into points because Brumbies' defence is working well. Dagg is looking very good.

    @Stargazer Dagg carrying the backline.

    Lovely offload for their second try.

    Good first half from the Crusaders; just need to take their opportunities more and score more points. Ponies are boring.
    Dagg a class apart.

    Israel Dagg 😍

    Starting where he left off.

    I know he has no height, but given the insipid performances of the likes of Elliott Dixon at AB level, I wonder if the ABs could do worse than have a look at a pocket rocket type 6 like Taufua. It works well for the likes of Stander and Ireland.

    Taufua was one of the best players in that first half. His work rate is incredible!

    Also liked what I saw from Goodhue and Samu.

    Did anyone hear what's wrong with Todd and who has replaced Samu on the bench?

    Watched the 1st half on mute as you know who is the commentator. That YC was harsh - penalty only.

    Franks better watch his tackling technique with the new laws.

    Good game of rugby so far, great D and plenty of attacking. Brumbies 9 looks to have quick service. Looking forward to the second half.

    I thought it was fair enough - it was careless by the Brumbies player. You just can't do what he did (pretend you think you're the only player on the field who might attempt to catch a ball) it's pretty simple.

    It's interesting commentators always say , but his eyes were on the ball ,
    I don't believe that is in the rule book

    I always wonder how a player is supposed to roll away if there's a pile of players on top of him.

    Crusaders have managed to make sure they've got two crap scrumhalves. This one can't pass.

    Some things don't change - Jackson is still rubbish.

    Crusaders not terribly convincing but given how they usually start seasons they'll take the win.

    Thought Taufua, Goodhue and Dagg were the Crusaders best.

    Bridge I thought would go better but he has ability - worth sticking with.

    Taufua, Crotty and Dagg carried that team to a win.

    Different interpretation in the Highlanders-Chiefs game last night. DMac was clearly taken out in the air on one occasion but Fraser said it was a contest for the ball.

    I revise my prediction if the cousin-lovers can only beat an Aussie team by a couple of points at home
