So sick of these pathetic yellow cards for legit tackles and then you have a hooligan like that Waratahs chop getting away with murder and no cards. Nothing wrong with that tackle.

Get away with it? They were both banned and their appeals dismissed...

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Bloody annoying.

Crusaders play like balls when I pick them and when I don't they play like this.

Saders is back, they will now win all their last games with bonus points. Carter took the Canes pressure extremely well and Nadolo is a monster runner. I honour the Canes, also one too many 'lethal' injuries for them today.

Yeah! Hope Proctor is okay and Matu'u's knee isn't completely borked.

I very highly doubt it. They had a dismal S15 this year. No way they can salvage it now.

yeah, they got away with it in the game and the opposing team suffered because of it ..... same as today, wrongly pinged for a legit tackle and team down to 14.

Latu got a yellow in the game, though? Skelton should have got one too, I thought, though.

Maybe no, but they have their strategy back in place. Carter was also very technical today and his defensive (turned aggressive) kicking won them the game in the crucial moments. They didn't play with a full team, the yellow card was doubtful, and I'm sure they can churn out bonus points. The Crusaders never stops playing rugby, and their average log position year by year proves this point, good management. What games do they have left, Blues, Force?

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Wtf is going on with Lealiifano's goal kicking recently? He used to be right up there and now he's missing sitters all the time.

Problem is they need the teams above them to lose, rather than just them needing to win.

Just to come back to the Saders game.

Only caught glimpses of the game between work, but McCaw has really been a no-show this year. Every time I looked up he seemed to fall of tackles or get run over by Savea.

I might be completely wrong though. Maybe it was just coincidence that I saw him missing a tackle every time.

That is a situation beyond their own control, they can still play class rugby to win. You don't need to win a tournament to go ‘home’ the winner, always give your best and that is what I'm speaking off.

That did happen once or twice, but he was very good in the rough stuff. Got bumped off in a tackle once and came straight back, caught the guy and ripped the ball free.

Ah... See I missed that stuff.

Damn work!

 

[APoc184]

Brumbies getting under the Bulls' skin.

And over their try line.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Bulls gonna target the scrums now...

 

[APoc184]

Going to be a good last few minutes.

Bulls starting to dominate. Just silly errors.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Some silly decisions at the end by the Bulls. Well managed game by the Brumbies, though.
