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....

[Machpants]

Reiko and his casual ball planting almost came to bite him there, I hope he gets that spanked out of him for the ABs

[Donsteppa]

Crusaders looked so far ahead for 60 minutes that there was daylight between them everywhere but on the scoreboard. Wastefulness will give Razor a lot to think about...

[Tim]

Ioane hold the ball

[Steven Harris]

The only time I notice Akira in the whole game he throws a pass to a guy in the first row of the stand..!

I dont think the AB coaches rate him. I mean, they only gave him a 5 year contract.

Still, beats the hell out of CHris Ashton. TRIGGER WARNING

[Machpants]

Man I'll laugh if the crusaders choke this, an appalling attacking effort by them.

Canes most winningest team

[Canes4life]

@Steven-Harris I've noticed Sotutu more in this game.

Jeez then coach killing stupidity like that

[kev]

@Donsteppa Crusaders have stuck to kicking game. Wasteful.

[nzzp]

Well, we lost but I"m not gutted. Given how the first 20 went, I'm happy with pushing a bit towards the end. Good effort; I'll support a side that keeps trying, even if we have a long list of 'work ons'.
