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.

Which player cleaned him out?

[Gunner]

To use an old Cliché, first points after the break will go along way to determining this game.

Crusaders score, lock the gate, throw away the key.
Blues score, it could just give them the kick start they need.

6 lost lineouts

6/12

That’s too much possession to concede

Whitelocked.

Paps is back

What time (on the clock)?

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

[Machpants]

So Sotutu off for HIA after illegal cleanout, at least paps on

[taniwharugby]

If Blues can fix the lineout and get some ball, and be physical with it thatbwill go a long way

[Toddy]

@Nepia It's 39 minutes in. I don't think there was much in it.

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.

Romano will add a bit of grunt and chaos at the ruck. Saders have been able to really drive the Blues forwards off the ball and provide a platform.

They are rattled.

[Gunner]

Sloppy, still wasting ball.

[Tim]

Much better start.

[kiwiinmelb]

Without trying to state the obvious, first try is massive , all over if crusaders get it , game on if blues can manage it

[Mackerzzzz]

That was very poor

[Machpants]

How the fuck want that a knock on

He is great at scrum time

Christie goes the wrong way again, Perofeta under pressure throws bad pass to Dalton.
