    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.

          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.

              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

                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! 🙂

                    That's s really nice win.

                    Not much downside if we lost, but damn that feels good. Blues continuing to build nicely.

                    Remember, the first crusaders title was a burglary... Ya got to start somewhere. This looked like dominance in a lot of key areas.

                        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.

                                Absolutely, think he is a good player and will learn from it, but definitely the right call to take him off in this game

                                  Hats off to Goodhue as well. Outplayed some All Blacks this year.

                                    I am prepared to say I pretty keen to see Dalton have a run at 6 sometime, in saying that he was brilliant tonight at 7.

                                      Absolutely. I’ve been critical of him in the past.. particularly his lack of physicality. Not this year.

                                      He’s responded really well to being a senior lock

                                        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.

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

                                        No you're right, Barrett closed it out perfectly.

                                          He was at fullback, and may have been overplaying at times. But at that point BB was kicking very poorly, and Perofeta is more calculating.
