Crusaders v Blues

Duluth

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

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

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.

Sotutu has been highly underwhelming.

Mo'unga ran straight through him

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

Blues attack is so one dimensional. Try came off another poor exit from Barrett.

It seemed so obvious both in real time and in the replay that they must have checked it, unless they were too preoccupied by the late hit. Shocking officiating if they didn't.

Lovely right foot by Zarn

Frank

Perhaps put Barrett at 15 and Zarn at 10???

Victor Meldrew

Gee, Telea's a busy player. Low error-rate too.

Replay confirms it was a clear knock on. Terrible for everyone to miss that.

Suspension likely aswell

Blues are not using dummy runners, wrap arounds, any variety really.

Halangahu bringing to coaching what he did playing?

His Bobness

Razor having second thoughts about appointing Leon as an assistant coach?

KiwiMurph

Eklund on..... that will fix the lineout.....

Tim

@His-Bobness Not a lot of creativity with the back moves is there?

Well, he won't be looking after the kicking department...

Can't make it less effective ...

I read Leon the other day say that he was surprised at the poor discipline last week because it's not usually bad.

Was he asleep during the Chiefs and Brumbies games when Blues went down to 13 men?
