Crusaders vs Stormers Super Rugby Semi 2 2011

[aPauling93]

hey im living in ireland does anyone know how i can access any live southern hemisphere games?

[NZRugbyMusicKiwi]

@aPauling93 it depends if you have sky sports on tv, they sometimes show some games but not too many, check the website and see what is being shown, if you type in super rugby it should tell you, alternatively if you want to see lots of games you have to pay per view online, but that costs a bomb

[copsondonuts]

to an earlier poster who didnt 'get' rugby...maybe this will help- think of the game 'smear the queer'. its the same thing, just with grown men. try sitting thru an entire game...its the goofiest spectacle ive ever seen. the 'hitting' is really just alot of drag-downs as theyre not allowed above the waist stuff, and they do alot of holding/shoving. and dont let these dimwits convince you this game is non-stop action...its not. they stop alot. but it beats soccer...thats for damn sure lol

[Emirates419]

Why is not Sean Maitland in the ALL BLACKS?

[warlord1121]

ok i officially don't understand the point of this game

[MrFudgeDuck]

@warlord1121 Its the semi final of the Super 15. Or do you mean it was pretty crap?

[warlord1121]

@MrFudgeDuck no I don't understand the point of rugby, not to say it's a bad game, I just don't understand it

@zest4lyfe

I've seen loads of games. I seriously think Union has more flow and tempo to it - but thats my opinion.

[heaty007]

@RacingTurtl3 Union is better because you have more strategic options forcing better coaching and play from teams.

[RacingTurtl3]

@KiaOraification

100% mate.

I cannot actually believe how easily SBW has adapted to Super Rugby - he's better than we all thought he was going to be.

Pity he's a Kiwi :)

[Malloyism]

Reds were too good in the end.Congrats Reds for a Super Final win tonight. Ewen and team congrats.

[RacingTurtl3]

@chewblued

Disagree. I never see offloads in League, thats why its such a stop/start game. No flow at all.

When all is said and done, De Villiers is an idiot and is not even sure if he's coaching a union or a league side. Seems he wants a contract extension now - he wont stop until he's ruined SA rugby - for the good of the game SANZAR should ban him.

[bruiserblu]

@RacingTurtl3 wtf.. you never seen offloads in League?

O M Fn G

[sitislicker]

the reds blues semi final was terrible, just a bad display off place kicking and in play kicking, then opportunist tries

[chewblued]

That SBW play which created the Freuan try took out 6 players from the Stormers..2 on SBW and Freuan ran through 4 at pace

union players are SO neive on the offload..league players are way ahead in terms of being on the ball and in tune ..many union players are still playing that 'gentlemen' played..very neive

[ssrabits]

@chewblued what are you on about??off loads have been in union since it went professional. Its nothing new, The offload have been part of the AB game for decades and only recently other countries are realizing its impact on the continuity of attacking teams.

[chewblued]

@ssrabits

Tell that to De Villiers dude. Pray explain why the union world refer to the offload as a 'Sonny Bill' as though they#ve never seen a player do such a thing? The offload in union is stil frowned upon. In league its part of the sport..always has been and as ever union are way behind

[KiaOraification]

@chewblued Im sorry chewblued but that has got to be one of the most generalised, retarded comments I've seen in a long time. Players offload not codes. People should debate about the players and not the codes. SBW is a great athlete and so is Carter, cooper, benji, slater etc.

[kaicolobread]

Go REDS! I'm a blues fan hate crusaders

[loveurheart2]

Go the Red n Blacks

[loveurheart2]

I've been blocked by blog name NZRUGBY 4 giving a critical view point on Ma'a Nonu departure from the hurricanes franchise & why SWB should be ABs second five & why the Blues should be looking 4 a new coach instead of picking up strays off the road Mark Hamet did NZRUGBY a massive favour they should take his lead by dumping that piece of shit. Where There's is smoke I'll always be there 2 keep 2 stoked. They post it on utube & don't want any negative responses. That fucked up NZRUGBY!!!

[asterix50bc]

Go you Red and Blacks!

[Dakeeg101]

Crusaders are Super Rugby.... seriously, if they win this week then they're truly a class above every other outfit.... hell, they could probably beat the Springboks on a good day

[KlonoaPS1]

Love the SA commentators

[chewblued]

@KlonoaPS1

I agree, they are very good. Similar to the NRL commentators

[369ddf]

@sammyjay whatever we beat u already at home and we'll do it again... WE ARE RED! WE ARE RED! WE ARE RED! hahaha

Koster is physically limited. I wanted to have this players on the field.

[Mackanamara13]

the first try of the game was exactly the same as rod davies try in the reds playoff

[dlivino9995820]

Go Crusaders! Time for payback. Cant wait!

[st393736]

wow, talk about an awkward intro considering what the result of the game was. "crusaders feeling trepidation"? LOLOL

[benidub]

love the comment:

thats the kinda rugby that stops kids going to the movies!!!!!!!

[hakametal]

Guys, im living in ireland at the moment.... does anyone know where the final will be streamed live??? Id really appreciate a reply....

[daveburnham]

[murph277v]

@hakametal when and what time is it on irish time?

[nicosituma]

@hakametal :

myp2p.eu > live sports > rugby usually has the weekly schedule....keep monitoring and on day of broadcast try as many links as necessary to get a stable one.

[jmanistheman12345678]

STORMERS!!!!! see u guys at the world cup, a win wont come as easy nz we'll have a better scrum,better captain better lineout better backs and will defs be better on defence. but well done saders better team won on the day

[1234breakdancer]

Gee..that's a quick upload..the game was only this morning,,.!

[jsleilua]

should be a great final. cooper vs carter should be a epic battle

[TheColdOneMinecraft]

gunna one hell of a final :p

[chewblued]

The Maitland try was a gift. The Freuan try was a SBW creation from nothing which in tight games is what SBW can do. He can change the mood and tempo of a tight game in a flash and provide that essential inspiration

Why the fuck SBW is off to the Chiefs is beyond me

[ssrabits]

@chewblued because the NZRU wants to spread the talent

[sneek010]

Haha see the guy at 1:12 flipping the bird, middle right blue cap

[Dayanio]

@sneek010 How the heck did you see that?

[fayyazash1]

Sean maitland deserver the all blacks jersey for the world cup....

[Tihei]

You can't tell me Habana's tap was on or behind the line of the penalty!! that was crazy reffing

[mataqean]

kia ora crus

[mataqean]

მაგარი ფინალი იქნება

[taupstar]

the rematch we all been talking about, others said it wouldnt happen, well it gonna happen now !!!

[sammyjay]

that crusaders defence is soo damn good!!!

smashed them in the scrum!!!

i hope most red supporters dont see this game , coz then they wont know what they are in for .... GO CRUSADERS!

[alexwintered]

@sammyjay have you watched the reds highlights? either way, should be a good final

[sammyjay]

@alexwintered yeah i did i saw a few weak tries and some terrible kicking all around :)

[prideofbtown]

@sammyjay I bet this guy is sad right now haha!

[sammyjay]

@prideofbtown not at all :P crusaders didnt bring thier A-Game and congrats to the reds .. now to the internationals , aussie planning on winning the bledisloe for the first time since 2002? ouch

[prideofbtown]

@sammyjay Haha true you got me there, I can't remember the last time I saw us having any chance of a bledisloe win.

[13jamie13brown13]

@sammyjay awkward moment when the reds win...

[sohailsabar4]

Hope Todd starts for the finals, can't believe they start Whitelock ahead of him

[westsideAUKILANI]

@sohailsabar4 Whitelock had a good game.he did nothing wrong.Todd came on at the right time.good call from blackadder.

[WildRarePedoBear]

@sohailsabar4 You obviously don't appreciate the huge mountain of shit work that george whitelock does for the crusaders, his numbers don't lie

[sohailsabar4]

@WildRarePedoBear It's not a matter of appreciation, I think Todd's a better overall player and for a play off or finals game, especially against the Reds, Todd and McCaw working in tandem would be a better option.

[kiltia4]

I hope the Crusaders crush the Reds next week!

[jamtheman3017]

i just realised that both of the crusaders and reds 1st tries in the 2 semis were almost exactly the same

[proteinman3288]

@jamtheman3017 and both those 2 wingers r probably the fastest men in super15 right now. Id pay big money to see maitland and davies in a hundred meter sprint. I suspect maitland would win due to his athletics backround. Davies is freakishly fast though

[jamtheman3017]

@proteinman3288 I think gio aplon would easily be the fastest man in super rugby

[proteinman3288]

@jamtheman3017 Aplon has good acceleration and is elusive but is def not as quick as both those 2 guys. Aplons running style makes him looks quicker than he is. His elusiveness is what allows him to score his tries not his out and out gas like maitland

[jamtheman3017]

@proteinman3288 you could easily be right but from what ive seen in my opinion, aplon looks faster. if you had some legit stats however i would be convinced, maybe we might see a chase down in the world cup (if maitland is selected. if he has been i dont kno im australian)

[ounce2314]

If The Crusaders win the finals someone will make a movie out of their season

[panxo1973]

esto es rugby señores.

[ihavemadaidswhat]

@barsKuu crusaders scrum was amazing, completely demolished the stormers.

[marcopantani]

Koster you DOOS!

[westsideAUKILANI]

This effort from the Crusaders was unbelievable mate.Smashed the Stormers all over the field.

[barsKuu]

Highlights don't show the degree the Crusaders smashed the Stormers in the forwards game. How many scrums and lineouts did the Crusaders win on Stormers feed? Reds will need to up their game to stand a chance in that department! Crusaders defense was rock solid as well apart from the Habana sneak in. Final will be a good game!

[Barnsie14]

both semis, the first try was an intercept by the right winger.

[KlonoaPS1]

i felt sorry for the stormers, especially jean de villiers

[simionen]

cool refreeing from Craig Joubert

[B055C0E]

fucken blues, LETS GO CRUSADERS !

[camandsarah]

Thanks Tony for this weekend's efforts. Much appreciated.

[garyfrank100]

Thanks for the upload Tony. The 1st semi was so much better eh?

[TTRugbyVids]

@garyfrank100 Was indeed. This one sorta fell off in the 2nd half.

[Debowas]

@garyfrank100 lol this is because the reds were red hot and the blues were pretty crap really

[garyfrank100]

@Debowas haha yeah cant really argue that one!

[dmtblack]

scintillating Crusade rugby.... let's hit the top... Go Saders... All the Best.!

[ihavemadaidswhat]

"you can say what you like about offloads, dangerous or not, its the kinda of rugby that stops kids from going to the movies" - direct shot at peter de villiers hahah

[bruiserblu]

@ihavemadaidswhat classic. lol

[ounce2314]

@ihavemadaidswhat I agree that should be the quote of the week haha and De Villiers was there he looked like he was going to cry in the end Lol
