Have to say that Ryan O'Hara really caught my eye last night. If he plays like that all the time then the Crusaders have got themselves a very good prop indeed.[/b]

Hes our star man! Watch out for Ben Fowler also!

Does anyone know where I can watch highlights of this game on the internet!

So how's all this going down in Wales? Is it completely overshadowed by the start of the 6 Nations, or is it getting some decent coverage?

To be fair its had its place on the news and the Welsh media has given its place in the Western Mail!

No to be fair rugby league is becoming very popular in Wales and if the Crusaders do some magic e.g. beat a big club / win a few games on the trot / do well in the cup then more people will come a and watch!

What they need to do however is try and work around rugby union times e.g. Blues, Ospreys, Scarlets and Dragons playing times! Cause at the moment they will struggle to get crowds if they try and compete with union!
 
I must say the crusaders lads initially where all over the place in the first half but got its **** together in the second and actually got their first try. :bravo: The new strip of l**ds was actually quality way they did the hoops/stripes thing is quite good.The crusaders away strip is actually quite good on many levels although i wasnt convinced at first.I guess its the whole "Hey we are just as welsh as the rugby union are!" type of thing.
 
Crusaders looked really terrible in the first half then actually pretty decent in the second half but were overall lacking up front and looked as if something was missing?

I don't know about club matches, but they've certainly fitted their schedule to avoid all of the Welsh internationals, which is a wise move.
