  And that is what happens when you have a Kiwi ref blowing in a game with a Kiwi team playing against an Aussie team.

  Ek se jou die Reds sou al twee penalties gehad het as daar n SA ref was, hy is uiters lienient vir die Saders

  Skew throw by Flynn in the resulting lineout

  Early lineout problems for the Crusaders.

  Reds scrum holding up better than the Stormers scrum but the Saders scrum is very strong.

  Penalty Saders… this one is very kickable…

  @ grootblousmile:

  I have just checked Pappie said Saders by 7 and I have said Saders by 10.

  I am actually really nervous here, the thought of the RT Condensed Milk Can, First Prize slipping from my grasp is a reality…..!!

  Rather unsportingly I was hoping Pappie may have omitted to do his pick!! 😆

  A decent ref would have blown a few more penalties against the Crusaders by now.

  I actually think Bryce Lawrence is doing OK so far

  Stoppage while the turf is relaid. Don’t forget, in February, this whole stadium was a metre under water.

  The turf cutting up badly… apparently it’s only been laid 2 weeks ago… big tufts coming loose.

  It will definately aid the Reds in the scrums against the Saders
