Crusaders v Blues

[Bovidae]

Use Suafoa or Sotutu at the front. Quick, short throw and get the ball out.

Blues still don’t have a lineout.

I worry about Leon. Surely you sub Akira on as an extra lineout option

The Darry injury makes it hard to make an early loose forward sub.

So you sit on your hands whilst your lineout gets destroyed?

Make a brave decision.

Reds subbed their whole front row after 37 mins last night.

Front rowers can come back on

An injury from 4-8 would result in Eklund playing as a loosie if you use up that sub. It’s a huge risk

You could have brought Ioane on at lock, that's the only logical way to do that.

what have they done to Caleb Clarkes hands!!!

and feet.

[Gunner]

Blues, with the rocks and diamonds start to the 2nd half

[Victor Meldrew]

Why does Barrett bother kicking? Wouldn't it be easier to just give the ball away?

[antipodean]

With no possession, Beauden decides to kick, too deep for chasers and too short to gain time.

Predictably the Crusaders score.

[Jailbreak7]

Lovely try! But Paps is gone YC

[KiwiMurph]

Sotutu has been highly underwhelming.

Mo'unga ran straight through him

[Canes4life]

It will end up being red card and should be a suspension. 2-3 weeks if they are consistent.

[hydro11]

Terrific try and fair yellow - looked like a knock on from the Crusaders, I assume they checked it.

[Jailbreak7]

Our 10s all need to work on their place kicking.

Obvious in real time.

[KiwiMurph]

So once again Razor destroys Leon

[Gunner]

When will BB be dropped for his undying love of shit kicks?

[Chris B.]

Really nice by Ennor and Havili. Good try.

[Tim]

Was there a knock on in the lead up? Another shite exit from Barrett.

I don’t think they did. The replay of the tackle showed a clear knock on by the next guy. Bizarre officiating

[antipodean]

What is Meg Ryan blabbering about in commentary? Leon shouldn't be pulling his hair out, this is systemic. He's the coach. He's at fault.

they have had zero ball to be fair to Sotutu.... but Choat seems to be a lot more prevalent
