Crusaders botch certain try; the game is being played at huge speed but errors creeping in.
Reds hit back with simple TRY!! Genia from scrum passes to Ben Tapuai who saunters over the line. Kick to come (in front).

20 minutes in; Crusaders getting the roll of the ball but not showing much organisation in attack.
Cracking match; going from end to end. Cooper’s footwork is something else.

Sonny Bill Williams will be one to watch here, what a team the Crusaders have assembled with him, McCaw and Carter all on the park.

Not far from kick-off. Any last minute thoughts on who will walk away with the win, Roarers?

Danny_Mac – we run selected wires content where we think it’s relevant. We do this because the opinion in these cases becomes your comments – just like this article.
We’ve done this since launch; mainly because we want to ensure coverage of the key stories and we don’t have a budget to pay someone to write this much content.
Value your comments though.
Cheers, Zac

CizzyRascal – we are 100% interested in Roarer’s feedback.

Arrogant Kaplan should not be refereeing the Tahs
Hi zhenry – I’m pretty immersed in the area of selling advertising and I have to pull you up here when you say: “98% of what you read is what the advertisers want”.
This just isn’t correct.
Advertisers want to reach large, engaged, and relevant audiences. This is what we provide on The Roar (almost 200,000 people monthly). Advertisers focus on reaching relevant audiences, not influencing editorial.
Finally, we call out David’s CD set on his articles as it’s a great listen and he’s one of our columnists.
Arrogant Kaplan should not be refereeing the Tahs
Cooper misses his second kickable shot; this is proving costly. Carter has missed one.
