Qualifying Final: 2.Crusaders v 5.Reds 6/06

[Major Tom]

Reds need to roll up their sleeves and get dirty in the ruck. Williams gonna let lots of sneaky shit go tonight.

 

[Derpus]

What part of that is a shocker?

The Reds lineout…

Exactly, typical kiwi tactics in a final and they get away with it, been doing it forever. Barrett causing Tate to knock that ball on is no accident and has a massive impact on the momentum of the game

The Reds lineout…

Not really. Lineout was good; good throw, good take, it was when the though it down and passed that it was raked out of his arms.

Watching on a 10 min delay:

but fuck me how do we not get a pen from tate trying to snipe through a hole with an offside runner retreating in the same space. Fucken dont be there and also give us the pen

 

[Dctarget]

As predicted the Reds without 4 first choice front rowers can’t compete. No hope with every scrum giving free 40m up field.

 

[dru]

Reds making quite a few fumbles.

 

[Derpus]

Not really. Lineout was good; good throw, good take, it was when the though it down and passed that it was raked out of his arms.

Yeah righto.

 

[Ignoto]

Do they not teach coming through the gate at the NZ Ref school?

 

[lpd]

reds a bit slow to react around ruck time to secure ball

 

[Adam84]

25mins and crusaders haven’t given away a penalty apparently

 

[Major Tom]

Few sealing off penalties he’s missing. Thought he was red hot on them

 

[Mug Punter]

This is grim

 

[JRugby2]

How the fuck is that clearly on the ground

 

[Pokinacha]

Do they not teach coming through the gate at the NZ Ref school?

Different law book. Much like the penalty for Tate with rights to the ball but Williams has a different script

 

[Adam84]

Shit penalty results in crusaders try… right

I know mate. It was ridiculous.

 

[duckbill]

Disgraceful refereeing... Nothing wrong with Tate's pilfer

 

[Dctarget]

Fellas you can argue it all you want but you’ve got a scrum on roller skates and you can’t stop knocking the ball on.

 

[Derpus]

Always have to beat the ref in Christchurch. Has always been that way.

 

[Adam84]

Wow.. Blackadder throws ball off ground at ruck… ‘play-on’
