        @Canes4life they'll learn a fuckload from it. And look for a better halfback

          Why wasn't Whitelock penalised for diving on the ball?

          I'm guessing because the ruck was over when Ofa picked it up and then placed it on the ground for anyone else?

          Very strange play by Ofa. Just picked it up stood there and then put it between his legs.

                Blues decision making has been terrible. Nock went missing several times. Awful play.

                Nock is terrible. Always has been

                The problem is the lineout though

                10 lineouts lost

                9/19 vs 11/11. An extra possession every 8mins. That’s the match

                      Blues have been poor. Disappointing. I didn't expect them to win but hoped for a close contest

                          That's the most disappointing part of the match. Looking like the Cantablacks for test 1 v Ireland and I'm not sure I'd blame the coaches if that's what they do..

                            @Steven-Harris why the fuck wasn't nock at the back of the ruck? He is terrible.

                              Congratulations Crusaders, well deserved win. Clearly the better team in the final.

                              All Black team selected a week early.

                                I don't think they will, they think he's the one.

                                A functioning lineout is probably more important. Is Pari Pari Parkinson still signed to the Highlanders?

                                  Both Ioane’s and B Barrett have been awfully quiet tonight.

                                  Akira thinks his jersey has an 11 or 14 on it.

                                  I’ve been drinking every time he hits a ruck. Haven’t had to get a beer out of the fridge yet

                                  Careful. You can’t critique Akira’s work rate around here.

                                          KT must be the worst ABs selection in along time.
