QF Crusaders vs Reds

@Damo no, stupid rule (has to be said every game)

[Machpants]

13-8 as Barrett finally takes the 3 after turning down 6 points. 7 to go first half

Yeah I know that is the popular opinion but I have come around to it. Beats endless pick and drives from 1m out ad nauseum.

Hate those kicks both just outside and in the 22

I agree.. A real low percentage play

[Yeetyaah]

Up the Reds

[Mattasaurus]

Pickerall is so bad he makes me agree with Marshall 😭

[antipodean]

Good captaincy IMO; finals football taking the points on offer. Scoreboard pressure is a real phenomenon.

[Machpants]

Don't think that was a try, but great pass by Taylor

[Machpants]

16-8 half time

Blues won't be quaking in their boots

[taniwharugby]

Kick was a poor option

[Toddy]

Why did Havili kick the ball away.

Like Leicester, doesn't want to play for ABs

Only player really impressing me is Blackadder. Hall is getting better as the game goes on. Haven't seen Whitelock outside of some rucks.

[Mattasaurus]

Not sure what the reds can do to to fix the scrum issues.. Apart from just holding on to the pill for the next 40mins.

Felt the saders should have taken the 3s..

Mcdermotts busy behind a pack going backwards.

My highlight was blackadders bump off

[Winger]

If the reds scrum wasn't so crap they might have a chance. As it is

[Bovidae]

There is a reason none of this Reds tight five are internationals. They aren't that good.

Thorn needs to bring McReight on so they at least compete at the breakdown.

Sam has had some good runs, over the gain line. I think he's the best I've seen him in a while tbh
