Traditional mid-match Crabs fight. Burger is Burgey, ftr.

A fight breaks out following a scrum on the Crabs side of the half way line. Morgan and Burger are both at each other's throats. I can't tell who started this, but the other players are having to pull them apart.

The referee shows both players the yellow card and they're still hurling abuse at each other as they walk off the park.

 

[Quaggas]

Where's Burgey playing?

 

[Howe_zat]

Prop. (Ahead of centurymaker, not you)

 

[Quaggas]

Good to have a martial arts expert in the scrum.

 

[Howe_zat]

Struggling now without our two best players. 7-15 to the oppo going into the final 20 minutes.

 

[Quaggas]

Under 10min to score twice. Can do.

 

[Quaggas]

Ian Taylor to call for on field refs to overturn severe tracking errors in TMO.

 

[Quaggas]

Cheers HDS. Where can we rage against the ref?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Here. Rage here. That was a very winnable game for you guys, but the injury to Speirs was critical.

 

[Quaggas]

Anabolic steroids to get us to the next game.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Dunno if anabolic steroids are what you need. Just keeping your best players on the pitch for a full game would be a start.

 

[Quaggas]

Speeds up injury recovery

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Reckon you should stick to deep heat, cortisone and anti-inflammatories. The last one particularly important for Burgey, I reckon.

 

[cpr]

Along with his daily dose of cod liver oil.

My one criticism of your game was that your distribution wasn't great. Happy to take the ball into contact as half back! It did work on occasions though, so can't be overly critical.

Ouch, game was ours for the taking...

Just keeping the opposition forwards honest....didn't I make my speciality "bullet pass"...seems odd my distribution would be poor.

Kept it under wraps after Speirs went off injured as you didn't think your wings would be capable of catching your bullet pass in damp conditions. I don't think you were far wrong with that assumption.

Crabs game 3 is tonight 6.30pm NZT. The Crabs take on the Spartans away at the Hot Gates. Crabs likely to get a pasting as the Spartans are current Champions and easily the best team in the comp. Still, if you're interested or masochistic, then tune in to the appropriate thread:

S4, R3: Spartans vs. Crabs (vBookie) (today - 6.30pm NZT/7.30am BST) - CricSim

Also, happy to add new players if any other members here want to sign up for the Rugby Union Sim, I'm sure the Crabs wouldn't say no.
