Round 11 | Crusaders v Reds | Highlights 2024

[@user-dk9hg7bz2l]

Apparently you don't need to ground the ball to score a try

[@godisbollocks]

Not if there is a lack of conclusive disproof of grounding and the onfield decision was try.

[@fAkAKiNa39]

no try being called a try , proven by video it's not a try ...yet awarded as a try because the ref made a wrong call ...emperor continue to walk around naked

[@godisbollocks]

@@fAkAKiNa39 Could you see a clear gap between the bottom of the ball and the ground? Because the people who examined the video couldn't.

[@fAkAKiNa39]

@@godisbollocks did you see the ball touch the ground ...being grounded is what you look for ...the rest is a rabbit hole

[@godisbollocks]

@fAkAKiNa39 That's not the rule. The rule is if the onfield referee awards a try then the video must show *conclusive disproof* of the ball being grounded in order to overturn the original decision. The replay was inconclusive either way, so the onfield decision stands. The same rule applies in cricket with LBW decisions. If the umpire says it's out and the batsman challenges, then the hawkeye shows that it's pretty much 50/50 hitting or missing the stumps, the original decision stands.

Goes to show the difference a world class #10 makes. Its been a few decades since we didn't have one of those in Canterbury, and its making for a tough old season. We were lucky with an on field try decision that clearly wasn't grounded so the score line was flattering. Well done to the Reds, deserved the win. Tough pill to swallow for our boys. Think its time to look forward to next season as this one is all but over for us. Penney, you've got some work to do and not just with the playing squad but clearly the coaching and leadership set up isn't firing like it use to. Some self-refection in the off season warranted.

[@Samizouza]

Indeed, seems the flyhalves trend is dwindling now in Christchurch here

[@pastorofmuppets8834]

Thanks, these are great highlights. I thought the saders were back in form, so it was a shame to see them lose again, but as an Aussie very relieved to see the reds win after last week

[@ManaBlack208]

A shame?,us kiwis that aren't crufaders fans love it we're sick of them loving the demise,I'm happy for the reds,up da Chiefs 😊

[@ManaBlack208]

The Dynasty is crumbling day by day and im loving every single bit of it 😊 yeeeeeehaaaaaaa😂

[@nzbomber685]

One season can't win them all eventually everyone has to rebuild. Every championship we won was earned noone gave it to us. This year we haven't earned that right, simple as that we try again next year ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@J.Brown10]

Where else can you go when you're always at the top.

[@petertalbot7261]

It was a very entertaining and high quality game by the way. Great spectacle which fans not surprisingly like.

[@nzbomber685]

Have no words for this season just disappointment but for ever a crusader ❤❤❤

[@SoCalDreaming87]

As you should be. Champion team. They will be back.

[@stealthpakfa]

Rob Penney has turned the once mighty Crusaders into a laughing stock.

[@Jamluji]

what options does he have seriously

[@stealthpakfa]

@@Jamluji having no coach would be better than having Rob Penney.

[@billbobby461]

i guess the Reds are gonna party tonight like it's 1999 😬

[@ropatemomo4149]

Where was the grounding???

[@abs1784]

Dam wish we played a game with all our player's. We'll done crusaders win or lose still supporting 💯🍻

[@SoCalDreaming87]

💯 Love the loyalty.

[@petertalbot7261]

Oh don't go too hard on them. They are not having a champagne season. like the weather teams go through their droughts. This years is theirs. They have a fantastic record of success. Presently incomparable over the life of the Super Rugby Competition. The crowd at Christchurch was very supportive certainly from what it looked like in numbers. Can I say I was very very happy the Reds won at that venue and against that team. Yes I was. 1999 was quite some time ago.

[@SoCalDreaming87]

100% Pedigree will keep this team going.

[@ashinch0r]

Good game, but sorry, I disagree about the decided knockon by Barrett. He had control when it first hit the ground.

[@DDSistemeGraficeDDSistemeGrafi]

Goodnight Crusaders!

[@GaleRuis]

Queenlandaaaah!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@seanyshepfit]

Whose genius idea was it to sign Halfpenny? Owen Franks has more pace than him 😂

[@supershooter20]

Barrett the captain was injured out of the game. Then the discipline disappeared. Willie started thinking he was Ardie Savea and taking quick penalty.

[@waynebeggs1106]

how come the crusaders allways get favour just asking

[@siraajdavids6758]

Disappointing season so far and I don't think it's going to get any better anytime soon. Don't think this coaching team is is the right fit for a franchise such as the crusaders .. to many inconsistencies injuries hasn't helped either selections in some crucial areas is questionable to say the least . For one mitch drummond is slower than a snail David haviili just isn't up to it let alone doesn't have that match sharpness .. its time to let the kids play and start a new era , rather build and lose with the kids than stick to those guys who's past their sell by .

[@rico3200]

Fix number 10 would make a huge difference

[@dominicbritt]

Why can't they sort their defence? Score a try then give one away...terrible... no ability to build pressure on the opposition.

[@JJ-li3lk]

How can clear and obvious decisions be so difficult to make? Officiating still in scrables

[@bg365]

TMO, slow motion replays and everything else technology has to offer and the officials still can’t get it right. Are they too scared to take responsibility for a decision?

[@alosiobogileka9734]

Let them come and play the Drua here in Lautoka..

[@decay-154]

pity about the David Havilli charge down , he was too slow

[@thomas-bz7or]

As a crusaders fan, I don't want to see him in the all blacks. As for the crusaders, he's good for the bench or not in the 23.

[@supershooter20]

The Reds No .10 should have need red carded for high tackle on Havili at the 55 minutes in the game.

[@mosessalusalu5424]

What's wrong now? Veicai. Vaaark

[@bigboy0625]

Just shocking really they need to start paying us to watch them !! Not looking forward to the Blues game in a few weeks !! White wash !!

[@JJ-li3lk]

What happened to supporting your team through good and hard times? It's just a phase like any other team has.

[@eronivatuloka1096]

Crusaders try didn't touch the grass yet was allowed, Drua try touched the ground no separation of hand and ball and downward pressure very obvious , bunker ruling no try. WOW JUST WOW.

[@MmeliKamuriwo]

GET ROB PEENEY OUT IMMEDIATLEY WE TIRED OF THESE POOR RESULTS

[@juvetb1]

It’s really tough to watch. Cmon boys, finish strong but can Penney please take responsibility and leave. It is a shambolic season.

[@waynebeggs1106]

two games today very kak tmo mates
