@tim Sotutu was like a man possessed

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.

Not decent international teams ten are going to kick it to him as much as beaudy did

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

Win or lose, Sotutu clear MOTM. He’s been everywhere.
Don't you ignore the DP
Barely seen in the 2nd half.

Until he was!

That is why I love this game! Bloody brilliant1 Loved it as a neutral I was still on edge of my seat.

Unlucky saders, might have been a different result without Barrett brain spasms.
Congrats blues! Can't help but think Beauds should have gone off and Perofeta stayed on...

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

Those talking up Perofeta for the ABs were premature. He showed a lack of big game temperament in this game.
Papali'i - the best player on the field.
I'm going to praise Fraser as well, who didn't get fooled by either team trying to milk penalties.
No idea how the commentary was I didn't listen to it!
-
Blues loosies got through plenty of tackles
Robinson 10 (2 misses)
Papali'i 21 (0 misses)
Sotutu 15 (0 misses)Worth mentioning Ioanes defensive game too: 16 tackles, 2 misses. That's an usually high number of tackles for a centre
@duluth amazing Stats ..special to Luke Romano as well , to play 80 minutes when he got bugger all minutes last year is incredible

Yea, cos Perofeta was playing amazing rugby before he came off... there is some absolute rubbish mentioned on here.

Magnificent result for this team, great game to watch.
Our looses completely dominated theirs. First half BB was excellent, second half kicked a bit too much and not well. But outplayed RM fairly comprehensively.
FC must be the form halfback in the country too.
Dalton was immense for us tonight. Tackles like a demon, carried well, calm.
As for the red card, SB is a grub. He had plenty of time to pull out of that, cowardly and could make an argument that he did that on purpose. Better get more than three weeks.
Imagine that sort of brain dead thuggery in a World Cup. Puke.

Yeah, he wilted a bit under the pressure. Good experience for him to improve from.
I prefer Sullivan at 15, but Perofeta has been good for us at ten.
