What a try by the Crusaders!

Crusaders dominated. My report will be up later, I'm sure you'll all be delighted to hear!
Can anyone explain what the change of kits for a couple of weeks was all about, where they had different sponsors - was that all for charity or something?

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

It was just one week, for Plunket (an NZ baby-assistance company, basically). The jerseys looked like bibs.

What game by zac Guildford. He had a massive Hand in three of the tries. Pure class

 

[Larksea]

I think a number of Crusaders were very good but they were all overshadowed by Kieran Read.

How good was he? Man if you ever wonder how much super rugby matters to the players this is the perfect example - Read has nothing left to prove at this level, He has a world cup and he's an automatic selection for the All Blacks yet he gives everything for the crusaders. Seemed like every minute of the game he was steaming onto the ball at great speed putting his body on the line or making a massive tackle.

Just Awesome.

such a nice dude off he field but if your marking him this is what you see, good luck stopping him.

 

[Gena_ZA]

Agreed, one my favourite rugby players

Yeah read has been amazing the last three weeks or so. Even better than last year imo.

Its kinda dumb for Reid the Aussies and SA in for the internationals Wycliff and Pierre are not even close to comparing to him. Id like to see him against some guys that are actually competitive against him but those two are just hopeless ATM and spies in particular has never been upto his potential.
