Brumbies v Crusaders

[Stargazer]

With Funnell out for the season, I wonder whether the Crusaders now regret letting Nathan Vella go to the Canes? He was no. 4 behind Makalio, wasn't he? Who's the next in line?

[ARHS]

@stargazer

Brendan Asomua-Goodman? But, what about Kurt Eklund, not required by the Blues?

[Chris B.]

@stargazer Same thought occurred to me. Possibly somewhat unfortunate timing for Vella.

Wonder what Ti'i Paulo is up to?

(Five minutes of Facebook sleuthing tells me he's still keen to play rugby and is RDO for Renwick Rugby Club).

What a pedestrian backline that is. Small wonder the Brumbies attack is penalty -> lineout -> maul

[Machpants]

Saders very happy to maul too, they're the only NZ side who are almost good at it

[No Quarter]

What a ball from Tamanivalu to put master Bateman in. Outrageous.

[No Quarter]

Forearm to the face for Dagg. Fuck sakes he's only just got back on the field, poor bloke.

[No Quarter]

How excessive does "excessive force" have to be? I'm not sure he could have hit him much harder than that.

[Machpants]

So you have to punch some one in the face for a red? FFS

[Gunner]

Blimmin heck which Blue came on and dropped those 5 points?

[Machpants]

Crotty, and now he's having his traditional injury

[Gunner]

Whoa, he with the most reliable body in professional sport, Ryan Crotty is hurt.

[Gunner]

WTF, now a second knock on with a certain try in the offing.

[No Quarter]

Mataele great finish, made it look easy. He's having a great season.

[No Quarter]

Haha that was awesome, Mataele beats three people with one step to score.

[Canerbry]

14-5 at quarter time is better after all that ball, if we could stop dropping it cold with the line begging that would be great. Bateman being a bit of a hungus. Crotty looks fine.

[Machpants]

I really hope the blues are watching this, is gotta give them some ideas

[Canerbry]

Bumboys go 10+phases for 5 meters, kick for points to go 21-8 like the pussies they are. I've hated the Bumboys since the Ben Blair final.

[Machpants]

Good to see people like Havili making the ABs selectors jobs easier by being utterly crap
