Crusaders v Rebels

[Damo]

It is Read's second game back from injury isn't it? I don't worry about a mistake like that.

Just a moment later he pulled off an excellent tackle on a speedy outside back.

[Yeetyaah]

Terrible attempt at a tackle by Meakes. But was there not a penalty there for sealing off in the last ruck?

@shark they will be out in force, can see what Read was trying to do, change hands so he could fend, but to be honest he’s been very good in the first 15 minutes, he then chases a kick and lowers the winger with a superb tackle..it was funny though, and I think everybody could see the funny side of it

He's very much a workmanlike 8 these days though. Those silky touches of old seem to be a thing of the past.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant spots the brainless commentator. Yes that was good but silly rubbish with mo'unga needs to stop floating passes. The rebels are reading them

Sealing off. Lol. That sort of PK is not really Jackson's style unless it is really blatant.

[Jailbreak7]

That was silly by Moody right in fron of the ref

Yes, though I thought the cleanout on him was worth a look by the TMO. Appeared to be a charge to the head. Not saying it wasn't partly deserved, but it did look a bit unnecessary to a guy prone on the ground.

[Machpants]

@Jailbreak7 yeah that's yellow card stuff to me, blatant.

[Steven Harris]

@shark I will take workman like , you just know he will do most of his basics well..and he will commit himself to anything in the air..
And he runs the lineout extremely well..!

[Jailbreak7]

@Damo Yep thought the cleanout was a shoulder near the head

[Steven Harris]

Great footwork from Ennor..!

[shark]

Great kick Richie. He often over cooks those penalty touch finders.

[Machpants]

Great headwork too, yellow by new guidance, not adopted in SR

[Damo]

That is an example when advantage should be over in my book. Rebels might have gone 80m if that pass had stuck. They had a clear advantage.

Instead we go back for a scrum 10 metres back from where the lineout would have been. Especially since it was only a scrum advantage. PK advantage would be different.

And again. Scrum advantage should be over once a team gets clean ball and are free to use it as they wish.

[Steven Harris]

Mo’unga & Ennor show..brilliant..!

[Machpants]

That was awesome

[Damo]

Ennor is amazing at the moment. I don't think he was on my radar at all prior to this season (?)

[Steven Harris]

@Damo after watching Naholo last night, I would put Ennor ahead

He's clearly ahead of Naholo. Naholo is rubbish. Mistake prone, brainfart prone and not decidedly better as a finisher than any of the other options.
