[gt12]

Nice call for the Blues there.

[KiwiMurph]

Nanai lucky there.

He's been the Blues best player.

That is high tackle.

Really? Hit the shoulder, stayed on teh shoulder.

[Machpants]

It's changed, last year that would be a yellow, this year ok. Weird

[gt12]

IMO, Mo’unga would have scored that if he’d transferred the ball to the left side.

[Cyclops]

I don't understand why that's a line out penalty. Isn't Barret just competing for the ball?

[Donsteppa]

Win three points, give three back...

[nzzp]

Considering how we've played, I'm pleased with our effort and resilience. Last few years would have just shut up shop adn shipped 50 poins.

This also feels like the next 20 minutes are going to get ugly ... i've tempted fate

[Canes4life]

Just dumb by the Blues there.

[KiwiMurph]

Has The Killers music just come out in Christchurch?

[Machpants]

Crusaders 7 penalties, 4 from Barrett

Blues game plan: defend like demons, immediately turn the ball over if in possesion.

I thoguht our scramble defense has been good this year. We are very hard to break down; you saw it last week against the chiefs; players work hard to get back after breaks. Tackling generally good too. It's just our set piece and maul defence that has been horrible.

and burgle the odd try to Rieko!

[Tim]

Nice try. Blues have been a lot better this half.

[Donsteppa]

If Reiko is that careless in the RWC....

[ACT Crusader]

Nice hands from the Blues.

Tough conditions out there.

It's usually Wellington players of the 90s that drops balls cold over the line

[KiwiMurph]

Rieko always puts the ball down like that. It is always a risk. Try though.

And there is a French or Saffa TMO....
