Justice. There were two forward passes.

McKay pulls off a George Gregan tackle

Couple of those offloads were a bit flat, tho

This is getting highly frustrating -- the way the Clan are killing us at the breakdown

We have the weakest backrow in the Crusaders history. The fact that we are still a chance of winning a title with a backrow of Christie, Sander and Douglas is quite surreal.

Clan are also killing all game momentum by sitting down at every stoppage. Frustrating

Maniototo Man · Post by **Maniototo Man** » Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:49 am

Thwaites is a tall unit for a prop. I thought he was one of the reserve locks for a moment.

Kiwias · Post by **Kiwias** » Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:49 am

Saved a YC by the Clan's try

Auckman · Post by **Auckman** » Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:49 am

yellow card as well I believe.

GO ON THE HIGHLANDERS!

Nice...

JPNZ · Post by **JPNZ** » Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:50 am

Good try and well worked. Maybe now we will see the crusaders attack some ball and pass to the backline

trapper · Post by **trapper** » Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:50 am

Fark!

Hunt and Frizzell are really showing our backrow up

Squeaky bum time Saders fans

Cheese?

Taken the chance.

Life ban would not he too harsh

sonic_attack · Post by **sonic_attack** » Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:51 am

All really good tries in this game so far.

Maniototo Man · Post by **Maniototo Man** » Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:52 am

Nice to see Collins get one.

Ali's Choice · Post by **Ali's Choice** » Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:52 am

Far too much dropped ball from the Crusaders. That try was off the back of Taylor dropping a ball you'd expect him to catch every single time.

Depends if the Canes score a bonus point win or not

Nice pass

RuggaBugga · Post by **RuggaBugga** » Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:54 am

So they escaped the card cause the highlanders scored anyway?

Maniototo Man · Post by **Maniototo Man** » Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:56 am

Highlanders now have two small locks with Coltman throwing to them.

Yep. that is a bunch of small mistakes at just the wrong time.

Auckman · Post by **Auckman** » Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:57 am

SHOULD'VE HOOFED THAT TO SNECKY'S SHITHOUSE
