      @Canes4life not sure how he could not see the knee there.

      Some great rugby, some dicey calls and some dumb decisions by players that shouold know better

            Other than O'Keefe, they're as bad as the dross from across the ditch. New Zealand as a rule in the last decade promote the most incompetent clowns as referees.

              Exactly. How does this prove Razor is some super coach?

              Someone was labelling the Crusaders a bunch of journeymen earlier. So probably not too bad.

                Kiwi refs are gonna bite the ABs in the arse again this year.

                Crusaders only refereed half the game and given oodles of leeway when they are.

                It's evident when they then struggle under other refs and come international time when they're miles off the pace and ill disciplined.

                  Crusaders are nothing without Whitelock.

                    Leon needs to go. Christie and Beauden can follow him before the door slams shut.

                        Heem better that RTS who still misses too many tackles. Not sure why they didn’t start with Robinson.

                          On the face of this question, I'd be inclined to reflect on his record in knock out rugby and conclude it's not the best he can do. 🙂

                            Great game. Best I’ve seen in ages. Nice to feel a little hope and disappointment in a Super game, just like the old days.

                              Crusaders will be happy 6 front line players out
                              Especially after last week,fuck the Blues had 100 chances to win that and couldn’t.
                              BB was playing for the Crusaders I reckon.
                              Yeah every one blames the ref but he penalised the shit out of the Crusaders,every time we win the ref is to blame maybe get better is the answer.
                              Apparanty the Crusaders win nothing on their own.
                              Get in there the Crusaders.

                                That's fine, as long as we recognise the drop in quality of SR.

                                  Great game ..Crusaders without Jordon ,Goodhue,Havilli,Grace and Newall get the job done ..and then they bring on 3 new guys
                                  Sam Whitelock was colossal..!
                                  Ethan Blackadder a work horse
                                  Hoskins Soututu adding consistency in performance

                                  Scott Barrett a real concern with discipline
                                  Beauden Barrett doing my head

                                  Good teams will take their chances and ride their luck with the officiating
                                  Best game in a very long time

                                    Tucker and Suafoa both had good games around the field. The injuries at lock are helping to build depth there. The lineout overall wasn't too bad either (Blues lineout 81% Crusaders 62%)

                                        I guess you don’t need to be a world beating super coach to get the AB gig, just ask [insert several names]…

                                        Good close game, but man we were sloppy as in that second half. Plenty to work on in terms of improving our continuity of play.

                                        Dallas McLeod definitely worth keeping at 2nd 5.
