Difficult to make rankings accurate with teams only playing once p/year.

Perhaps they change it evey year so the NZ Super teams play a different non NZ Super team.

What I am suggesting is what happens in the 1st XV Top 4. The Blues, Chiefs, Hurricanes and South Island play a different team in sequence over a 3-year period. You could do the same amongst the 8 teams.

Instead of pre tournament rankings deciding the semifinal position, They could have just used the scoring system 4 tries bonus point, when they are tied then point differential?

So changes at 4, 7 & 9 for the Blues

[Bovidae]

A change at fullbsck, snd a third hooker (Ravudi) on to the bench.

Takataka and McIntosh have been such a great scrummaging duo for years now.

Seven of our best players came off the bench and we scored 40 points in the second half.

Easy win in the end in crappy conditions. All the players that stood out in the first game, stood out in this one as well.

[Duluth]

Blues get the first try of the SF v Crusaders. A couple of good long passes

[Duluth]

Not much sting in the defence, just like the first game. Crusaders get over with a couple of simple pick and goes

[Duluth]

Blues TH scores after a long build up

14-5 after 15mins

Defence not great from either side

[Duluth]

More soft defence. Crusaders in again. Their hooker has been prominent

[Steven Harris]

Eli Oudenryn is some player ,Manawatu’ s loss is Tasmans gain

[Duluth]

Nice try by the Crusader right on HT. Good offload by the fullback

24-22 Crusaders at HT

[Duluth]

A few penalties and errors mean a glut of possession for the Crusaders. Out to a 9 point lead now

[Duluth]

Great long range try by the Blues. Good support play by the sub TH

2 points in it

[Duluth]

A couple of times the ref has forgotten about telling people in front of a short box kick to retreat. There was a crack down 2 years ago and it’s been forgotten in SR too

[Duluth]

Blues discipline has been poor
