Crusaders v Reds

[Jailbreak7]

I like Dallas Macloed but he is pulling that midfield all to hell.
Ennor-Goodhue was much better aligned.
Can't imagine Razor will be happy at oranges.

[KiwiMurph]

I know he is just a youngster but wasnt Mcleod pretty underwhelming for Canterbury and NZ U20s?

[Machpants]

He had been underwhelming, but he's not get only one

[Bones]

Haha hilarious. Saders have been so shit they're highlighting McLeod's amazing play at halftime. Oh dear.

Regardless of how the Crusaders are playing ,it’s actually really refreshing to see for the 3rd week in a row an Australian team come across the ditch and play with so much intent, that first try that was scored by the Reds was an example of a team doing the basics expertly , and I think what’s being lost on a few people , this is a very young Reds team ..the fullback and number 8 have been outstanding...and the number 7 and skipper is schooling Christie at the breakdown ..good entertaining game, this exactly what Super Rugby needs, competitive games...only issue for the Reds, they can’t afford to leave opportunities on the park..

[Jailbreak7]

At least Mo'unga has pulled off a couple of big tackles, but for the most part the D has been shit.
Letting them waltz right through the middle, and falling off tackles is something the Saders need to fix urgently for that second half. And get some go forward by punching onto the ball FFS.

Yeah and he wasn't even very good. Poor decision making and one lucky break.

[Machpants]

Ten missed tackles, fark. ESPN stats not up so can't see who

[Machpants]

That was a lot better from saders, and bridge. But there was still some crappy passing in there

[Bones]

Mo'unga lucky to not get a yellow card.

[Machpants]

Defensive alignment, scramble so poor. 17-15, probably not going to get the conversion based on previous....

[Steven Harris]

Gee this is turning out to be a good watch..more of the same please

I disagree. It's more crap giving the other side points, rather than great play

[gt12]

Christ, I once wondered whether Bridge would be better at 15. Unlikely on this effort - how did this bloke push out Ioane at the WC?

[hydro11]

So many players are too scared to dive on the ball these days.

[Machpants]

@gt12 he was significantly better last year, but yeah playing himself out of a black jersey here

Yeah especially when Ioane was in such amazing form...

@Machpants I am just enjoying this very young Reds to really having a crack..I still think the Saders will win, but this is what this comp needs , competitive games

[Machpants]

Drummond has made a difference
