Crusaders vs Leeds

[kiwileaguefan]

Crusaders lead 2-0 after 12 mins.

Its hot here in NZ but man watching them playing in the snow is making me look cold.

Great crowd too

Leeds score through donald....6-2 after 21 mins

Basic mistake leads to easy try..

Half time 6-6

 

[kiwileaguefan]

only 8 errors in the match, 6 by the leeds! Great handling in the snow. Crusaders unlucky not to have a try just before halftime when Dyer got pushed into touch.

Leeds looked good when they spread the ball, i expect them to carry on and get some pints out wide.

Crusaders defence hows been outstanding.

 

[kiwileaguefan]

This referee loves Leeds...they are getting away with alot of holding down....6-6 after 63 mins. Crusaders defence has been first class..

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Leeds score 10-6 after 65 mins

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Another try to leeds back to back....very unlucky the Crusaders in that one. 18-6 after 69 mins.

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Im sure this referee has a Leeds jumper on under his referee shirt! Some very poor calls made against the Crusaders!!

another try to Leeds from a referee's mistake..

24-6

 

[Evil Homer]

Leeds scored a fantastic 90 metre try to put them in the lead and Crusaders heads went down

Very positive regardless.

 

[kiwileaguefan]

28-6 now with 3 mins to go

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Crusaders have been pathetic in the last 15 mins of the match...dropped balls soft missed tackles...

 

[Evil Homer]

No way did he get that ball down. 34-6 FT.

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Gee i dont think the RFL want the Crusaders to win...how can they give that a try! The leeds players are laughing because they gave it! 34-6 final score. 28 points in the last 15 mins

Did they get the full house?
Did the Crusaders do enough in the first 60 mins for the fans to come back?

YES it was a full house and they did do alirght for the first 60 since it was their first game together this year

They got the full house, and apparently the fans gave them a standing ovation after the game.

 

[RedVee]

Thats pretty cool then.
Good luck to them.

What a change, a sell out crowd and pushing the champs all the way.
Let's hope the turn out is not a one off maybe it will turn into the dragons support at brutus.
Will get better as year goes on, with martin and flower in side.

 

[Jankuloski]

Witt did a very good job for the Crusaders, it seems they will be a lot more competitive this year! Hope the crowd is decent for their second match as well!

 

[Lambretta]

So is this a thumbs up for the decision to move to Wrexham?

Hope the Crusaders keep improving. Wales and League in general needs a successful team that can draw crowds in "new" areas to league.
