Crusaders v Blues
-
Choat and Grace the pick of the loosies for me, Christie had a huge game on D
Tuipolotu had one of his best games in a whileSaders pack - lineout in particular was very good and with out big Sam...
Pleased to see a glimpse of BBs running game.. may it grow and continue
-
Outstanding defensive effort from the Crusaders , and when you consider who they are missing makes it even more impressive
-
I've said this before about the Blues; but they show no discernible plan to create doubt in the defender's mind.
All the skill and too predictable t be able to show it.
-
Blues lose the IQ test once again. Dogged on defence, predictable on attack. And kicking away what little possession they had. Don’t get any sense of strategic thinking on their part or variation thereof. Just as well it’s Razor as the senior coach and Leon as the assistant.

Not so sure on that call
-
Christ on a bike the NZR looks amateur when a representative makes a rambling, disjointed speech like that.

The trouble with BB’s running game is it starts at 70mins. That is no good to his team.

It didn’t affect the result but the TMO should be stood down for missing that huge knock on

Was it three phases of play after the knock on? Isn't there a rule that the TMO can only go back two phases?

Whole team seems to use kick as first attack option until after the 60 min mark, makes you wonder who Blues attack coach is, if it's Rangi is this going to be ABs going forward?

@Duluth said in Crusaders v Blues:
@Toddy that’s an old rule. Plus they were reviewing that exact moment for the card
Might be old - but is it still the relevant rule? (I've got no idea...). Or is it more the case the TMO should've picked it up earlier - before the try was scored?

I thought Grace was good for a most of first half, took great lineout ball etc, but didn't really notice him a lot in second
-
Fainga'anuku had a strong game.

Yeah - thought he and Havili were both very prominent in the second half. Leicester finished the game especially strongly.

3 phases went a few years ago I believe. They look at what the ref asks them to. The play the tmo reviewed, and the angle he saw, showed a clear knock on
But yes the on field officials were at fault too. It was a huge knock on

Obviously pumped after Razors comments the other day…
