    A little concerning that Hall has completely outplayed Christie..

    Concerning that the selectors couldn't see it through the season.

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

      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.

                Well played crusaders

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

                @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!

                      13 to the Crusaders at the break. A coaching master class from Razor so far.

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

                          Sorry, NZR had the chance to appoint Razor as their AB coach. They chose Clown Foster instead.

                            I think I heard BOK asking the TMO and was told no foul play.

                              Saders just just too good so far.

                              Blues shell-shocked... Lacking leadership up front, sotutu only one fronting so far. (choat had a couple of good hits in 1st 5mins.. But haven’t noticed him much since)

                              Blues need to come out fizzing and get a 7 pointer early to make a game of it at the moment..

                                  Under Fozzie, the ABs won’t reach their full potential unfortunately

                                    Gee don't you just hate to love the Sith. Fark this is brutal.

                                    TJ going on about the Sith attack, but the pressure on D is killing the Blues.

                                    Have much admiration.

                                    Poohs, really want the Blues to win.

                                    Eklund's throwing? WTF?

                                    Also, why the gaps in the crowd that's completely sold out?

                                      Massive difference is the accuracy in the pass from the Crusaders..winning the air battle which suggests their kicking game is accurate and the Blues kicking game is woeful ..

                                        I think Matera could invoke the ginga rule, plus his removal could improve things for the Blues.

                                          Only 40 minutes kids, plenty of time for the Blues to get back in the game, a card or two…
