It is a game the Crusaders have to win at all cost.
I think this year you can afford losing 6 or 7 games and still make the top 6
If Brumbies takes this they will almost secure 1st place
HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,
Everybody awake with me?
will watch until half past 8
Crusaders running out
GBS while we are alone, the mood must have been great at the Pressie last night? Any news?
George Smith runs out to beat George Gregan’s all time record, forllowed by the Brumbies.
Game ON!
How many kicks so far? They kick poorly too
6 @ superBul:
The mood was excellent… also no injuries to report.
Frans Ludeke, Pierre Spies and Dean Greyling was at the presser.
Frans and Pierre was happy with both defence and attack, with the lineouts and the scrums… and for theat matter the breakdowns too. They felt their planning was spot-on and that it was a great team performance.
Saders Free Kick, from the scrum
Bulls played 60 brilliant minutes last night , that 20 poor minutes was blown up by 3 horror knocks, in fact schoolboy knocks. But what a great night at the end
Intercept Matt Toomua…. tryyyyy
12 @ superBul:
I also liked the Bulls game plan last night, a very balanced mix between everything.
Brumbies 7 / 0 Crusaders
Brumbies earn another penalty… Ben Mowen doing sterling work on the ground.
Lealiifano for goal
Brumbies 10 / 0 Crusaders
Brumbies backline offside… shot at goal by Dan Carter.
Brumbies 10 / 3 Crusaders
Must say, Mark Hammett was very gracious in defeat last night for the Hurricanes at the pressers.
Penalty Sarers, just inside their own half… kick for touch, good touchfinder
Saders doing well and now hard on attack… centimetres out
Over the line, held up… under the sticks
Over again… held up again
Andy Ellis overrrrr… try!
@ grootblousmile:
20
its easier to accept it when there was no doubt. a Close game would have been harder to swallow
This year is quite interesting, the 2 top Aussie sides are playing above their weight, also Waratahs are playing a good game. Must be the Lions tour .
Brumbies 10 / 10 Crusaders
26 @ superBul:
The Rebels and Force seem to have these moments where they are good, then the next week they might be diabolical.
Reds and Brumbies clearly the 2 better sides in that Conference.
What was your SBru pick in this game?
Crusaders seemingly finding their rhytm now… hard on attack in the 22.
Then the Brumbies get a relieving penalty.
