rebels vs crusaders live thread

why is tom taylor kicking goals, his goal kicking perforamnce for the last two games shows is IMO why slade should be taking the goals.

10 minutes gone, rebels lead 6-3.

13mins gone, 6 all after taylor penalty for rebels joining ruck incorrectly.

silly penalty from the crusadrs, stupid little errors which in the past was so uncrsaders like is now the norm, these days.

advantage of having taylor at flyhalf is an established all round tactical kicker can give more qualified options when first receiver is taken out of the equation.

very cynical penalties from the rebels under pressure.

crusaders were stupid to not take the points though, i hate all thius dumb rugby being played by NZ teams at the moment.

im glad i benched pyle, hes having a shocker.

8mins left 12-6 crusaders lead.

crusaders have also made 12 errors to the rebels 6, which is why nthe crusaders are struggling.

brother saSUE please be real its the chiefies being loaded now not the crusties. Pin your hopes on the chiefs but be realsitic. The Stormers showed they can be taken hence doint build up your hopes too much
I sense the abs are in for a torrid time. Got away with murder last year!

nadolos playing and he looks a little like fruean, lolz, :oP

Agree Sasue. How many scoring opportunities did the Chiefs turn down by not taking shots at goal and trying dumb grubber kicks? 

poor brother beeno, his weak pathetic stompies get the crap stomped out of them, so he blames loading.

i will not pick on u tonight brother beeno, cos i know ur sad to have to support the stormers and Boks who play such boring boring rugby, :o(

halftime, crusaders lead 12-9

@moolaa,
it was a lot of points turned down, not smart rugby which is one of my pet peeves from NZ teams. theres backing urslef, but then theres understanding the situation and realising that keeping the scoreboard ticking is just as key as a possible try, but with a much greater chance of success, :o/

tough luck on woodward, am glad i subbed him from my team too, lolz, :oP

wooohoo crusaders try, and keriean read having a beauty, :o)

taylor kicking up to hsi standard, just as i transfered him out of my team, what a prick, lolz.

57mins gone, 22-12 crusadrs lead.

rebels hooker is uselss and cracking under pressure, rebels need to sub him off ASAP.

higginbotham yelling at hsi own teamamte isnt helping matter, rebels are cracking.

crusaders fundamentals are pathetic, IMO the way therye playing at the moment, they wont beat the reds, waratahs, highlanders, sharks, bulls, brumbies or bulls.

shocking display from the saders, they need carter and McCaw back big time.

taylor penalty 7 from 7.

70mins, 25-12 crusaders lead.

i shoat a hori, but i didnt shoot the deputy, lolz.

japan hooker shota horie is  on the field, :o)

scott fugly scores a rebels try.

i wonder if anyone born outside of NZ is going to score a try in this match???                                                                                         

crusaders win 25-19.

crusader fans should be happy that despite their team playing like kak in 2014, they have two wins.

then again, the stormers and rebels arent exactly what u would call good teams, and im sure my awesome brother beeno would agree, :o)

Crusaders did enough but a boring game after the Chiefs annihilated the Stormers.  

 Arrrrggghhh! I forgot to take Folau off the bench !!!!Bugger!

@warhammer,

normally i would take this opportunity to insert a boisterous laugh, but lady karma always kicks my ass when i laugh at my fellow bloggers misfortunes, so instead i will say tough luck buddy,

 Very interesting - so now I know why you have an habitualy sore rump saSUE!

 Wardad: I did not confirm my changes to my team so Rettalik was on the bench and Read was captain instead of Folau. Lost a few points with that oversight, lol

game wasnt as exciting the chiefs, but i still enjoyed watching it from a rugby point of view.

the loss of players like fruean, marsdhall and the absence of guilford and carter is really hurting the crusaders, as the crusaders just dont have the ability to get over the advantage line in the usual efficient crusader way.

players like guilford and fruean also have that x factor, that special something which made the crusader lethal from all corners.
now they only have dagg, and one x factor plahyer is so much easier to contain then 4.

i would be really worried if i was a crusaders fan, cos i cant see them adding to their super rugby record in 2014.

the crusaders should have really tried to recruit nonu last year when they had a chance, but tabai matsons reaction on the possible recuritment nonu siad it best, a very crusaders shit smells like roses reaction.

i would even say that crusaders impressive finals appearance streak is in serious jeopardy this year.
