[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 583628, member: 20605"] Not last night he wasn't. Ellis completely outplayed, outclassed and out-passioned Genia all over the park. Even accepting that the Crusaders forwards had the Red pack back-pedalling for most of the match, it was still a poor performance by Genia, who has always previously looked good even behind a Wallaby pack going backwards. Well Nick, you must be surprised, because that was a comprehensive botty-smacking any way you slice it. The Crusaders just stifled everything the Reds tried last night, and basically slammed the door on them in every key phase of the the game. Running Metres 614 - 432 Clean Breaks: 15 - 4 Defenders beaten: 24 - 14 Offloads: 22 - 4 Ruck winning %: 97.4 - 92.5 Turnovers: 16 - 10 Tackle % Completion rate: 92 - 82 ...and all this on the back of only 38% time in possession and less than 40% time in the Reds territory. Finally, what else does Ryan Crotty have to do to get a Black jersey. The guy has been the form midfielder of the NZ teams this season, he deserves selection in the 30 for the Rugby Championship, and the EOYT [/QUOTE]
