People, this is a great final
@ Loosehead:
OK, seeing as it is Saturday and it is now lunchtime, a beer is in order!! 🙂
Should have been a Reds try for Simmons
Everyone still happy with the ref?
122@ Loosehead:
Of course you can have a dop. The Captain said it’s fine!
Is Lawrence missing a good game!
C’mon Reds. Stop p1ssing around!
Crunch time now… only 20 min left in the match
@ Loosehead:
Not being able to see anything I am in blisssful ignorance!!
Tight flippin’ game.
What odds extra time and a shootout?
Massive Saders scrum… turnover
Saders scrum dominating again? What have they done thus far?
Reds scrum monstered by the Crusaders.
Saders frontrow have to be the ugliest sporting combination bar the Williams sisters!
Mind you, the Williams sisters have bigger quads and thighs than the Franks brothers.
@ Scrumdown:
Oh Captain, my captain!
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY REDS!
Try Reds!
Try Will Genia…. brilliant solo effort
What a try it was too!
Cooper misses.
Reds 18 / 13
@ Loosehead:

Crusaders turn another scrum to get a turnover
To hell with my SUPERBRU…..COME ON REDS!
Penalty Reds… too far out
