    @toddy would’ve been boring if we had won. Saders doing their part to help NZ and Super rugby 😀

      Some dodgy refereeing but a great game. Blus jept theor composure n the last 5 minutes.

      Papilii was awesome as was Ofa, Jordan & Mounga.

        Blues loose forwards were huge. Tu'ungufasi huge.

        Jordan is class.

          Dalton made so many big plays inside the 22. One of the best individual performances of the season.

            Ioane pace to cover on defense is absolutely incredible. I count four times he shouldn’t have made ground. That tackle was brilliant.

            Yeah, he's awesome in cover, it's just a pity his pace isn't used so well in attack by the ABs.

                  We possibly have the best loose forward depth we have seen in some time. I just wish our locking depth was the same.

                    Hope Hodgman is OK.

                    He's been massive this year.

                      Rieko didn't make any breaks, but he had a lot of tough carries in traffic that got us going.

                        Hoskins was great. He didn't drift out of the game like he's prone to do. Also made the effort to make sure each his plays counted. Hit hard on D, was a pest at the ruck and did it for 80.

                          What a great game and from a Blues point of view grateful for the win ,but on the other hand I have got to say what a champion team the Crusaders are ..no other team would have come back like that after looking down and out

                            Surely Jordan has to be the All Black fullback? He needs to get his hands on the ball more in Test rugby.

                                  I don't see how that's relevant to my point.

                                    Think that win will be great for this team's collective psyche going forward. Lot of pressure to beat the Crusaders.

                                    Now Barrett, don't kick it back to Jordan so much!

                                          Unlucky saders, might have been a different result without Barrett brain spasms.

                                          Bones, you and I are at one on that. Perofeta would have been much more measured.
