      Teams surely must analyse Refs just as much as they analyse opposition these days and factor this into game plans at least to some degree. McCaw was exceptional because he knew the rule book and could probably have recited it

      This wasn’t about interpretations. Both sides behaved the same

        @KiwiMurph Leicester blew RTS away for speed tonight. Will RTS even be in the World Cup side?

          Is Barrett even the fourth best starting first five in NZ? I think I’d pick Hunt ahead of him. Definitely Dmac, Mo’unga, and Cameron.

          Until Leon makes the big call. the Blues are going nowhere.

            He shouldn't be. His defence is nowhere near up to it.

              Given the influence of cards on the game, I find it completely incomprehensible how easily the ref pulled a card on the blues and resisted it on the Saders.

                There were plenty of fucking incomprehensible calls both ways, and now the game is over.

                    Absolute shocker from the ref costs the Blues.

                    Crusaders laying around every ruck and/or hands over the ball, WTF.

                    That last call on the held up sums up the ref's performance, knee clearly on the ground but clueless ref gives it to the Saders. That's not earned, that's given.

                    Big fan of Beauden but that was arse from him all game, has gone backwards but then Mounga not much better.

                      Stunning game, lots of great play from both sides, but the Crusaders have amazing ticker and cool heads when it matters most so they edged it.

                            Like Christie not taping the quick penalty correctly but the ref played on and Clarke scored, which should've been disallowed or Heem taking Burke out in the air from a kick bringing him down to the ground even though Burke had the ball, no YC and no penalty.
                            Take your Eye patch of it went both ways,Just keep blaming the Ref for losing as it is all his fault as your boys were god like perfect.
                            I think it is your nerve that got hit you lost and spat the dummy at the Ref.

                            Quite happy we beat you don't care about last week its all about the 4 points tonight.

                            Was it the Refs when you lost to the brumbies was it of course it was.

                              oh goody, eyepatch battles between Crusaders and Blues fans.
                              TSF is back to normal...
                              I'd just like to say it was good to see newer and younger players with some good performances.

                                Given the influence of cards on the game, I find it completely incomprehensible how easily the ref pulled a card on the blues and resisted it on the Saders.

                                        Well, I predicted the Crusaders forwards vs the Blues flash Harrys. It was kind of similar, the Crusader's efficiency vs the Blue's ability to strike from anywhere. Both teams had their moments both at efficiency and striking from deep. Could have gone either way.
                                        For the Crusaders, Whitelock, S. Barrett, and Blackadder seem to be the backbone of the team and also the difference tonight. Moody was moody and back. LF very good.
                                        For the Blues, I get the feeling if they had a dominant and mobile tight five, they would be pretty much unstoppable. Rampant loosies and some of the best strikers in the game. Long may they struggle in that department.

                                          Could happily spend a few hours dissecting the minutiae of that one, but ultimately it’s the same old story: Saders find a way, Blues don’t.
