Borderline???

There's an offside player for the Reds there. But if it has no effect I wouldn't expect it to be called. "Borderline", in the sense "did it impact on the game". And from the video it's about as inconclusive as the grounding so 5m attacking scrum seems fair enough.

No one is running good lines for the reds.

Calls going against the Reds now, second tackler steals the ball not releasing first off.

When you are getting dominated, you don't expect the calls.

Genia has been defending at fullback all night. Thats Quade's spot isn't it?

Ummmm the footy is on FoxSports 2 mate. Not sure what you're watching.

This is appalling. I would hate to be a reds fan. Even my force side would of done better

 

[Ash]

Ref calls a knock on against Robinson after a Dagg chip and chase.

Dagg off, A. N. Other Whitelock on.

Cooper kicks and cops plenty of attention going through. Crusaders go wide, back to a penalty for not getting out of the 10 from Cooper's kick.

 

[Dam0]

Should be a penalty to reds. Heinz just jumped on shiperly while on the ground

Nah. Unless you deem Heinz action to be foul play then you go back for the first offence, which was a white knock on. (Law 8.5)

 

[Shiggins]

Wtf. The crusaders fans should be booing the crusaders for taking this kick. Boooopooooo pansies.

Unlike many in this thread I'm only up to my 3rd beer while watching this game. It appears when I get to #13, and watch the decision again, I will see the light!

 

[ACT Crusader]

As Marto pointed out at halftime, and I agree with him, the Reds have really struggled to score tries this year. Their attack has been very disjointed. The forwards and backs aren't linking well like previous seasons. And tonight is no different.

 

[Ash]

Taylor kicks the penalty.

Crusaders 38 - 9.

 

[SaderCheif]

This could be our year. I can feel it in my loins.

For supposedly one of the most creative teams in super rugby this is completely shocking. Boring stuff and it really seems that the attacking brilliance that brought them so much success in 2011 has lost out to bullshit "deansesque" conservatism.

Congrats to the crusaders for playing textbook, champagne rugby. Ewen has alot of work to do.

My complaint was that it was blatant not borderline!
I'm more interested in the fact that Simmons was piss farting around obstructing: if you're in front of the ball you're out of the game. Simmons spends a lot of the time out of the game, IMHO.

Richey in the side!!! It begins

 

[cyclopath]

I don't agree with the quade booing, I frankly now find it embarrassing.

But I imagine some of you put down your mccaw is a cheat stubby holder before you type your complaints, so all is fair in love and war if you ask me.

I picked reds to win this in superbru. It's not looking good. Crusaders back row has been dominant?

"McCaw is offside". Not cheating. All in the etymology.
