[QUOTE="Sneaki, post: 418024, member: 21570"] Good job Reds, nice to have a new champion. The Crusaders played their best rugby last week I'm afraid. Flynn was abysmal (Elliot for AB's?), Richie looked out of form, Thorn gave away a stupid penalty and his white line fever cost the saders a try. Guildford also had an ordinary game while Carter, Williams and Freuan tried their hardest in the backs. On the positive side for NZ though we saw why Carter is miles ahead of Cooper, Coopers kicking was aimless at times and the greater urgency on defence gave him little room, which he couldn't cope with. Genia also had a shocker bar the try, which was a little unusual but still brilliant. Credit where it's due though the Reds showed that to focus on just Cooper and Genia all the time as their key players is unfair when they have some outstanding players outside them, and in the forwards. Well done Reds, am I worried about the world cup though? Not really, a dry Brisbane field is a whole different story to a soggy Eden Park. I also don't think you can get away with your scrum being torn to pieces on a wet field :p. Enjoy the win anyway Reds fans. I think in future I might just stay neutral for these types of finals, it feels weird being disappointed in a Crusaders win :D. [/QUOTE]
