Hurricanes v Blues

Ugghh, Blackwell.

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

Dumb play by Kirifi to start

[Stargazer]

I expect some impact from big Karl and Ofa.

Blackwell's playing like crap but Fifita is off so he will stay on the full match

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

[KiwiMurph]

This is an awful game of rugby.

[Stargazer]

Canes will be hoping IWL and/or Le'aupepe are close to full fitness.

[Dice]

Flanders to lock?

[Tim]

@steven-harris Yeah, you always have confidence in the Crusaders to get it together.

[Winger]

So now they have one lineout jumper in Blackwell. Dumb coaches

[Stargazer]

@dice Prinsep also a possibility.

[Yeetyaah]

Wait, Prinsep as reserve lock?

[Stargazer]

Too easy. Great kick from Black.

[Yeetyaah]

Barrett with a hand injury?

[Tim]

That was like night and day.

[NTA]

Great try. Fast hands and good awareness - missed tackle on Ioane didn't help but the Blues probed well

[antipodean]

Good run by Akira. Nice decision by Black. Canes lucky to not suffer another YC for infringing in the red zone under pressure.

[Nevorian]

nice work Ioane, A.

[Stargazer]

Kirifi not doing himself a favour to get back his starting spot.

[antipodean]

Good decision on the YC to Kirifi.

[antipodean]

If I were the Blues I'd take the three points.
