    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.

      @Canes4life you could say the same thing if you took Whitelock out of the All Blacks

        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.

              Does anyone think Razor is brilliant coach if the best he can do is this result?

              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%)

                            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.

                                  4 points mate,6 ABs out that will do.
                                  McLeod had his best game in a Crusaders jersey.

                                        I blame Beauden for that loss, too many times in that game the Blues had the Crusaders back pedaling and he kicks it away.

                                        Some really brainless stuff from Beauden. RUN IT SON!

                                          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

                                          Agree Steve. Great game. Lots of guys playing well.

                                          Scott was around the ruck when Crusaders were penalised but generally it wasn’t him infringing. His work rate is so big he is bound to get a few. One of my favourite players because he always turns up.
