    There is no way in the world the crusaders would butcher opportunities like we have just seen ..that’s why we may as well give them the trophy now ..and the other 4 can play for the 1st loser Super Rugby Aotearoa..😂

    Even the Stan commentary team are pointing out the decision making in the Blues is lacking. Simply unaware of the difference scoreboard pressure makes. Take your points.

      Ardie again!

      Awesome so far.

      Blues fucked it tho. Bigtime. Should have kept pushing the scrum instead of picking up

      Yeah - that just looked panicked by Sotutu.

      Looked like Channel 1 ball and he snatched it up and shovelled it out - with a dominant scrum, a wing playing flanker and a man short in the backs.

          Crusaders backs were off last night too, and they didn't take control until well into the 2nd half.

            I think these are the main selection questions for the Blues for this match

            1. Who starts between Hodgman & Tu’inukuafe
            2. Which loose forward misses out on the 23, one of Sotutu/Ioane/Robinson?
            3. Who are the two halfbacks (although I suspect Christie is the starter)?
            4. Plummer v Tele'a
            5. Who starts and who is on the bench between Sullivan and Perofeta

            Canes win 6-0 with Blackwell off.

            Canes key players (Ardie Jordie and Aumua) are stepping up big time

            Blues backs are not clicking at present. But Clarke looks dangereous

              Cross to Canberra and Morgan Turunui obviously bulking up to play prop in club rugby.

                @bones what you on about? Aumua wasn’t held, Clarke was.

                He's crawling along the ground. Never got to his feet. Several blues could have jumped on him, but then would have got penalised for diving on a player on the ground. It's simple, go to ground, release the ball.

                If we want players to release the tackled player, then the tackled player can't crawl along the ground.

                    Ummm... what was he doing then? Does he normally run with his hands and knees on the ground?

                      That was some pretty dumb time wasting my Clarke when the Hurricanes were still at 14

                            Caleb Clark would be the most relieved person

                              Ugghh, Blackwell.

                              Kirifi replaces Fifita, so I assume Flanders to 6 and Ardie to 8.

                                          Looping lineout throws like Eklund's are too easy to pick off. They're in the air for too long.
