we’re closing out round nine of super
rubby Pacific with a rare Twilight game
in Perth where the west and force are at
home via the Crusaders from hbf Park
where conditions are perfect for a match
that sees both sides desperate for a win
to keep their Seasons
alive

Reese in and away and now off loing for
Al mua Al mua

11 patent off the scrum same thing the

the black and red jerseys there
G third start with the Weston Force
since coming in from the UK Crossfield
kick comes to nothing they were playing
the penalty Vantage though and

Donaldson into the line goes Kel now for
to to
try and know exactly what they’re going
to do in the in those three phases they

special from the Western

towards the 22
White Cross there for
Harris we’ve got another penalty
Advantage here for the Western force it
was Maller offside that time on they
come the force and now it gets lost
looking to punish the Crusaders for
their poor discipline which has gifted
him with his shot and he
does exactly that 11 or more
against the
Crusaders it’s Horton at the
back he’ll take his time and we got the
penalty Advantage as well will they need
it Horton’s in there and Horton goes
over important right on halftime that
was patience they set it up well didn’t
get pay momentum early but they
maintained structure they stayed low
they stayed in the fight to make it a
13-point lead at the break it’s on its
way and it’ll
turn a little too much off the T and at
the break it is the home side the
Western Force leading the Crusaders 16

side back into the contest is this the
first step in that direction
yes from Bell down the flank oh the
hands perfectly waited from Jamie Hanner
again God he’s been good Jamie Hanah and
then George Bell goes over for a really
important try to stay connected to this
score line in the moment the
Crusaders Nick white trying to milk the
penalty and does a great job of doing so
so Bill hurls it right here

line great forward pack effort to really
twist the knife on the Crusaders the
Western Force rumbling towards the line

taken by Sam Carter and then finished by
Carlo Tano to make it a
22o win

good for the first time in over a decade
the Western
Force have rolled the Crusaders and
through nine rounds of Super Rugby

Like all Champion Franchises,
The Crusaders will bounce back. 2025 onwards
The standard of provincial rugby in the Southern hemisphere isn't as high as the standard in the European cup currently in my opinion.
That penalty try was bullshit . It was a force player that went down in the middle of the maul that caused it to collapse. Not that it would have made a difference to the outcome of the game clearly the better side won deservedly. But the maul needs to be addressed by world rugby . The whole concept of rugby is tackling and putting the opposition on the ground except when it comes to the maul
At least the Highlanders have always been a bit shit, we are used to this shame….
those 2 guys should ask cheslin for pointers
go the force well done boys
The question to be asked is not why Penny was appointed coach but by whom. These people need to be fired immediately.
😂… the Crudaders are without TWENTY THREE of their previous year’s squad, including world class ABs like Sam Whitelock, Cody Taylor, Scott Barrett, Richie Mounga, Will Jordan, Leister Faiinganuku, Jack Goodhue…. and people are still pointing to the change of coach!!! 🤦♂️
Well let's face it, this Force team has stepped up and brought in great players like Nick White and Kurtley Beale. The rest of the players are feeding off them. Not the same Force that used to be a punching bag.
For the Crusaders, a lot of guys in that squad don't deserve that kind of season attached to them. Specifically stand out men like Sevu Reece.
Crusader for life man.. we will bounce back..!!..well done Force yall made history today!
A name change might save them further embarrassment. 😂
RIP Crusaders
Saders were appalling. Team in rebuild after exodus and dream run most fancy. Force just did enough to win but celebrated as if they won the final…ref was an abomination and blight on the game! Should give himself an uppercut! Blatant forward passes and tackles with shoulders unpunished.. with a sadistic fetish for the whistle all game! He must sleep with a whistle up his whatever for peace of his horny mind! Imbecile!
Yeah at first I thought you know the team is rebuilding but at this point they have good players but the game plan and play style just isn’t it we score first then don’t do anything like what
Rob penney will be out .Clearly , he is not the man for the job
Crusader's have always been a representation of the national team but this is nowhere near that standard right now.
Seriously time to get a new coach,Rob is totally out of his depth-embarrassing!
Best team won, gaycuders are hopeless, get a new team.
The crusaders gave away a lot of penalty point huh. Wow.
Bye bye the once mighty crusaders
Well done Force, well deserved win 🩵
Bottom of the ladder for the next decade 😂😂
absolutely deplorable performance from the start of the season. Rookies haven't made an effort to step up. They jsut look lost. No play maker, no mid fields, no kicker
Hohepa looks like a guy who plays his first 2 years with Canes, having a shit start to his career.
Then eventually shifting down to the Highlanders where he becomes a star
razer…jou breakdance moves ga Nzl nie wee sien oubaas….jul kak is geboek
Congratulations to the Force!
Man… This season hurts 😢
Sevu Reece has fought for this team despite the bad season.
The Crusaders are lucky they aren't going to be relegated down a tier next season
"Conditions are Perthect"
The only time I'm cheering for the aussies haha, when they face the crusaders.
how the mighty have fallen, the crusaders getting a drubbing from the Force?
That second "try" by Crusaders looked like a knock-on over the line. Did the refs not even check it?
Now that the crusaders have fallen apart it really has opened up our eyes to the full extent of sevu Reese and his skill level. He’s single handedly carried the team this year every single week, he’s got to be the most in from winger in the world. His defence is just incredible, he covers 3-4 players on his own
OH MY ! the SADERS get a new name ..THE SAD TEARS 😱😭..the FORCE WHERE AGAINST YOU ! QUOTE YODA ..!
The coaching staff need to be sacked immediately how embarassing
Congratulations Western Force. Well done!!!
Farce-ical… as usual.
Good To See The Spineless Crusader Haters Are spitting There Bullshit As Predicted.
28 Long Years At The Pointy End Of The Toughest Most Demanding Rugby Competition Ever Played, Can You Say The Same About Your
Favourite Or Home Franchise?
Any One?
Don’t Even Try Bad Mouthing The World Famous, Legendary Saders Franchise.
Do Yourselves A Huge Favour And Show The Respect Earned And Deserved.
Born And Bred One Eyed Cantabrians Will Always Be In Awe Of The Greatest And Most Winningest Rugby Club In The History Of The Game,
You Should Too.
Great to see Kurtley back.
Always thought the only reason Reece scores tries cause it’s the crusaders and they make him look good cause they can create space for him but since the crusaders have hit a bit of a slump it’s still Reece that’s putting in all the hard work. I was so wrong about him. Keep up the good work Reece!
losing crusaders means an islamic uprising. it sounds crazy but see what happens
seeing the saders getting pumped by almost every team has been awesome lol the rest of the compeition have been getting flogged by them for at least 2 decades weve had enough lmfao time for them to get flogged
2:18 hahahaha nice ducks shorts
Damn, the Crusaders this year…..wow
