Yet another rubbish second half from the Reds. There's been plenty of them this year.

41-12 second half. That is just brutal. The Crusaders are coming - be very afraid. They look to be getting some sort of roll on.
Will Graham last the season? I guess he will, but jeez, that was nasty.


As long as Kieran Read's concussion is okay, they are going to get better.
 

WTF?

Unfortunate for the Reds, but I think the score line flatters the Crusaders somewhat. Not sure Brum's, Sharks, Chiefs, Tah's etc would give up like that. The Reds were to blame almost as much as the Crusaders were good.

I didn't think the Crusaders were that good, the Blues won by a bigger margin after all...

To this saying the reds gave up nothing could be further from the truth. These guys busted their arses of all game.

Yeah.

But I also reckon Quade is Bunji Marshall now.

Done.

Another shocker with no composure when it counted, same as against the Canes.

Disagree. He'll be back, too much skill to throw out the door.

In saying that, To'omua is my 10 for the French series now.

Quade lacks composure under pressure. We've got To'omua and Lilo now who have re-signed until 2017.

No more room for a . . .

The thing is, so many former Reds Wallabies will see their Wallaby chances go out the door with Graham as coach. Can't see many Reds even making the train on squad at this stage.

So, soon it becomes a question of the board choosing between the coach and the players. Having heard of the relationships between the board and Graham, and how Graham was appointed, I fear what their decision will be.

While it is hard only being able to listen to the game, the commentators just mentioned that the Crusaders still have a game in hand on most of the top six.

I had the misfortune of tuning into grandstand during the second half, right as the Reds were getting hammered. Although it pains me to listen to the Reds get flayed, you can't help but admire the Crusaders. I would assume they are really starting to send shivers down the spines of every other side yet to play them.

Next week will determine the wooden spooners of the Australian conference. In a similar format to the World Cup, Bledisloe, etc, there will be a great big wooden spoon on the sideline. Loser will be paddled with it post game..

Quade had a poor game, resorting to some pretty low percentage options too many times. But I wouldn't single him out.
Once again the defence was just awful at times, coupled with bad kick-chase and trying to outdo the Crusaders in kicking duels (really, does no-one learn??).

The one thing counting against the Saders is Read, McCaw, Franks and Whitelock get no rest in June, probably playing all 3 tests against England. Perhaps they will be a bit tired??

bit dissapointed with the second half-almost seemed the players thought they would sacrifice the game to get rid of graham:D

huh that's the same for every team in the top 6. The Waratahs and Brumbies will probably have just as many players for Australia
