    Game over.

    Blues won’t make up 13 points in a final against the Crusaders, especially with the awful awful rugby the blues are dishing up.

      It's a great performance so far by DH. It's not as if RTS doesn't have oodles of talent and experience of big, pressure occasions....

        Fair play to the Crusaders.

        Far far far too good.

        Deserving halftime lead.

            Blues forwards not stepping up. A Ioane doing what A Ioane does best. Goes missing.

            @Canes4life Made several tackles in those phases. Not sure what he can do about Eklund's throwing or Christie's kicking.

              Well played crusaders

              13-0 might prove to be a big score with the blues not being able to secure any ball

                A little concerning that Hall has completely outplayed Christie..

                            If he, or in fact any other blues player, was half as effective as Sotutu, the blues would be even at the break

                              Fair play to the Crusaders.

                              Far far far too good.

                              Deserving halftime lead.

                              6-0 would have been a poor reward for the dominance and made things interesting

                                Very poor half by Blues. Need to make some major changes.
                                Won't be surprised if ekland, choat & Christie don't come back

                                  Positive first half - best field position game we’ve played all season.

                                  Did anyone notice the two consecutive collisions between Reece and Sotutu, those two boys have put in a big half.

                                      @kiwiinmelb looks like they got the ABS playbook...no patience or direction, if Dalts is fit, you'd think he is on after the break.
