    Fair play to the Crusaders.

    Far far far too good.

    Deserving halftime lead.

      @Bones Havili has been all over RTS to be fair.

      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....

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

          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

                          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.

                                    Can these Crusaders play like this for the ABs please - transfer this to black!

                                          Yeah, he's coached Christie to be a donkey and Eklund to succumb to the yips on the big stage.
