Final: Blues vs Crusaders
-
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.

What happened to Sotutu?
Grace cleaned out with a shoulder charge to the head.

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.

Shoulder to head clean out on him. Where was the foul play review?

I wondered that. Has anyone gone back on replay to check?

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.

My one issue.
Can these Crusaders play like this for the ABs please - transfer this to black!

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 ..

Same as last week.

Thought was a dodgy clean out by Matera on Christie too, Christie holding.his head....but no replays.
Coverage has.been average this year

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…

@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....
Not in a real code tho

RTS has been OK with some pretty good defence. He's made 1-2 dumb mistakes like the rest of the Blues. Think the mid-fields are pretty evenly matched, just the Saders look better in a dominant team. RTS will learn a lot from this game.
