Ahh just figured out what happened, Hardie went off as Cochrane the hooker had to come on for yellow card Ross Ford at the first scrum after he got the card, glad Hardie isn’t injured
Wow, that was hard to watch and to bear…
Congratulations Crusaders, a consumate performance…. you are going to be difficult to stop on the way to the 2017 title!
That was a piss poor contest. I want my money back please.
34th minute, Glasgow penalty and a yellow card to Edinburgh scrumhalf Hildago-Clyne, very poor discipline from him mouthing off at the ref!
38 Point loss….
Some heads need to roll at Loftus!!
OK folks…. there is one late night game left in Round 11 of Super Rugby 2017.

@ grootblousmile:
Richie, you lie. You’re giving the opposition too much credit. Bulls weren’t tough. They we freegin useless. Defence like as seive.
Great try Jonny Gray!
cheers guys. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Halftime – Glasgow 11/9 Edinburgh, poor conversion attempt by Russell
Just seen Ben Youngs has pulled out of the Lions tour, tough times wish him and especially his brother Tom and his dearest strength.
Seems way less important but congratulations Edinburgh on beating Glasgow
Final score: Glasgow Warriors 18/29 Edinburgh but Glasgow did enough in the first leg to win the 1872 Cup but only just, two points was the difference in the end with the aggregate something like 43/41 in Glasgow favour
The Bulls, with Tian Schoeman at the helm, lacked any direction or structure with ball-in-hand as they threw passes in hope and kicked aimlessly.
I did not watch the game but this report on News24 tells me enough. We are so poor i have no words.
On defence, if they weren’t slipping tackles, they were scrambling to stop Crusaders counter attacks after giving up possession countless times through an inability to look after the ball.
Again, it was not the commitment of the players that could be questioned but rather their seeming lack of a clear plan.
Few of these Bulls players looked to be on the same page, with players running their own lines and with confusion reigning on attack.
In the end, the Bulls had missed well over 30 tackles – a statistic that summed up one of the darkest days in Loftus history.
With this dark thought i will go to bed and dream of times long gone… LOL
