          Nice one saders! Probably the best game of the season for them.

          Not to take it away, but the blues were pretty dire. Big players all sat down and no leadership. If everyone had played like Lam and Telea they probably would've cruised it.

                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.

                You need to actually have a work rate to critique! Everything he does is slow mo

                  Congrats Crusaders. Awesome performance.

                  Blues choked big time and didn't fire a shot in the first half. Never got up for it. 9 and 10 didn't use the forwards or width well. Shithouse.

                      Holy shit I never expected that hiding. Thought the Crusaders might sneak it with their finals experience but not this. Beaten all across the park - except at number 8. Hoskins was awesome.

                        Crusaders just too good, strangled the blues across the park, started with whitelock owning the lineout.

                            Both of the young Saders props should have been selected in the ABs.

                                  The storyline of the final is the lineout. So much extra possession to the Crusaders from that set piece

                                      That is how you play finals, and test, rugby. Very impressive, and deserved winners.

                                      Blues really choked in the big spotlight

                                          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

                                          What is your problem. Stop blaming someone for the bounce of the ball. Being an Auckland supporter and seeing the Blues come up short year after year seems to make you bad losers.
