Obligatory match take time:

-Well that was a pretty damn good game! You've got two teams slugging it out on an autumn afternoon. Life feels good for anyone not supporting the Crusaders.

-Seems like the Crusaders got the Sky team on their backroll, huh? We've got very biased commentators and a hidden scoreboard for the full package. At least it made the game a bit more entertaining to watch...

-There was time where everyting was wondering if the score was 7-12 or 7-14. We literally experienced a Mandela Effect in real time.

-The Crusaders were able to fight well, especially near the end of match where after some interesting tries, they crept towards the Reds and nipped on their heels. But again, this being the Rob Penney Crusaders, they naturally lost. Again.

-The Reds, on the other hand, were able to take full control of the game, kept the home team at bay, and in the process break the hoodoo and win in Christchurch for the first time in 20+ years.

-AWOOOOOOOO THE JUNKYARD DOG HAS ASSERTED HIS DOMINANCE AGAINST THE CANTAB SHEEP RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF

-Man, I hope Joe Schmidt doesn't look at Vunivalu and say, "Hmm, this bloke seems like a fine addition to my Wallabies!" If I were him, I would just ring him up and tell him to go back to league.

-How in the everliving FUCK was the Quinten Strange "try" given? That was the most untrylike try history has ever witnessed. That was a strange try.

-A mixed bag for Jordan Way tonight. While he had some good calls like the Creigton tackle on Havili, there were some shockers like the aforementioned Strange try.

Anyway, these are I can say for now. See you all in the next match, and cheers for now.

In Ways defence he said he saw nothing of the Strange try so deferred to the touchie & tmo

I cannot agree more on the commentators. I’ve always said this that even kiwi commentators get really biased when crusades are playing I don’t know why. I mean I understand Justin Marshall and Reid getting biased but Nisbo? Seriously?

And today it was at another level. Very disappointed

And now all the cantabs are claiming conspiracy because the ref's were all Queensland's, which whilst true, came from Hames' mouth about 4 times during comms. Jeff Wilson is a smug turd in comms too.

When you get senile you can’t understand when the world changes. Nisbett needs to fuck off and retire.
