@No-Quarter said in Final: Blues vs Crusaders:
Blues bench forwards are going to need to make an impact in the 2nd 40 to turn this around.
Still very much game on, if the Blues can get a bit of territory and possession they are absolutely lethal on attack
The long passing game needs to be shelved if the Blues are to persist with the flat attack line. Saders are basically playing a rush defence and in these conditions, that is high risk stuff from them. Mix it up with a short passing game.

It's more than likely that we'll see some shitty cross field kicking if the blues get good possession. Hope I'm wrong

@ACT-Crusader yeah, really flat given they are not getting much quick ball.

Havili on fire but RTS has been one of best of the Blues to be fair.

RTS and Sotutu have been carrying the load. Choat not too bad either.
Saders are playing well as a unit. Richie getting good ball which means the pack are hitting the collisions with some force.

Take the Blues lineout and kicking, then counter with how well Crusaders 9, 10, and 12 are playing.
Barrett must take control. Get Romano and Papalii out there.

Romano has looked slow going back. Not sure he will make a difference if Crusaders continue to play the corners so well.

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

No. This has been well a well established fact for several years. Hence all the hope for the Blues and their players.

And I should say, this is why the Saders winning, and the Blues performance so far, is such a concern for the ABs.

I just went back and checked. Definite shoulder to head clean out on Sotutu.
Should have been no try and a RC from what I could see.
If there’s a citing post game there will be all sorts of shit.@Crucial said in Final: Blues vs Crusaders:

Look at the ruck in front of the posts about two rucks before the try. Sotutu stays down.
