Jeez that feed was so crooked, like 60 degrees off straight

Second one better, only 45 off

[Tim]

Good defense not to conceed points.

[Duluth]

Wow the ref actually checked he offside line!

[antipodean]

Most accurate call by the ref all night; "entire backline offside"

[Kirwan]

Surely that was worth a look upstairs. Was bloody close

[Machpants]

Awful pass from Ruru, cost that try

[number9]

@Tim And with that comment you are full of shit.

[Tim]

Should've taken the three.

Ain’t going to win in threes

So Ioane goes over with Bridge wrapped around his head but Briant doesn't even give it a look.

Other than that run, the ability of the Crusaders to just stop the blues runners dead is scary. Has there been any tackle breaks?

[Tim]

@number9 You don't think the Crusaders AB first choice props made a big difference in the middle 20 minutes?

Yep, too high.

[Tim]

@Bones Only through the fringes. Nothing out wide.

[number9]

@Tim Mate I am at the game and the Blues scrum has held up. The forwards have taken it to the Crusaders. Mafileo has been a little lazy apart from that they are competing.

[number9]

This ref is pissing me off, missed the head high on Ioane.

[African Monkey]

Good effort from the Blues, the Crusaders doing the little things better though which usually leads to our downfall. Nonu looks great so far.

[Tim]

@African-Monkey Not a team you can give a soft try to!

[African Monkey]

@Bones It's what makes them so much better than everyone else (along with a lot of other things).

Yeah, that Collins fluff was pathetic. So is him carting the ball up from kicks. Just pass to Either Ioane back with you, either could actually create something

[hydro11]

Saders just too good up front. Blues have the effort but aren't going to win without the bounce of the ball being in their favour.
