That was an absoluter ripper of a game, either side would have been fair winners. Full credit to the Saders, it's been a long hard run for them, the bye will give them a chance to freshen up.

Stu is to the Crusaders what Kaplan is to the Waratahs...
Good game to watch. Both teams throwing themselves in. Saders midfield didn't seem to fire up as we played 10 man rugby for alot of the game.
He isn't.

Either way the Crusaders were on the back foot. They played well, but....they lost. That's rugby.
Definitely not a good game from Stu though.

Just edited! Too quick for me. Seriously though, he was pretty appalling

Reds certainly scraped through that one. They were lucky. Radike Samo was amazing my MOM.
As for Dickinson, the last penalty was 50/50 but watch the last scrum penalty he gave to the Crusaders, he said the reds had popped up however look closely and you see the first person to stand up is Crusaders number 16. Tit for tat.

I think they just won a legitimate turnover, so I wouldn't call that on the back foot, but anyways, they could have won the game themselves, but Stu certainly made it a lot harder.

Stu said. No don't touch it.
But richey came in the side before the counter ruck had finished anyway.
Go the force!!!!
No, he penalised him for picking up the ball saying there was a ruck over the top of it...which there wasn't, as everyone else was on the ground. It looked like the "back" of the ruck was right there, with everyone effectively out of it, so it seemed reasonable that a player pick it up to pass it. Anyway, a great game, and shouldn't be marred by an endless debate over 1 decision.

I don't get worked up about ref calls and the game is over, well done Reds and Quade for knocking over the kick, but to say the Crusaders was on the back foot seems bizarre given Ben Franks had driven a Reds player off the ball and then I think it was Read had assisted and the ball was lying there on what seemed the Crusaders side as a result of the ruck work by Franks. Reds did not have numbers
From what I've seen so far elsewhere, there will be a lot of discussion about a fair bit of the rest of the game. Stuey is not popular in Kiwiland.

Yeah, it was a great game, but it was marred because the decision was crucial and game deciding and ultimately wrong. I reckon Crusaders would have won with any other referee today. Pointless arguing, though. Both teams were pretty flakey at times
