Scrum to the Spartans. Great work by the Spartans. That's gone with the feed and Rob Cribb picks it up at the base of the scrum. That win gains them 2 metres.

Rob Cribb is tackled by Os Du Toit for the Crabs and a ruck forms. The ruck is contested and he's run himself into a world of pain and trouble here. He's run away from his support and that's an easy turnover for Herr Burger.

Hell, no.

 

I didn't even notice that, I think I'm just used to seeing us guising as the Hurricanes.

 

Fixed.

Chris Raftery with the ball on the run here. He looks to run, but it doesn't look like there's anywhere to go. The move ends as he passes low and his target's knocked it forward. Scrum down!

Line Out to Crabs. The calls come from the lines. Volt Man throws and that's right down the middle. Who can time their leap best?
Easy take there for the Crabs. It's taken long by Bruce Force and he weighs up his options.
