Blues v Crusaders

[Gunner]

Fuck even Mark Telea has the dropsies.

Score as it stands very much flatters the Crusaders, Blues should have won by a lot more.

I actually disagree. The first half the Blues edged. In the second half, the Blues dominated but left a lot of points out there. Most of that was due to mistakes or poor decisions from key players (like Tuipulotu and Telea who otherwise had very good games).

If moody is anywhere near abs, I'll be calling cantablack bullshit

No chance. Bower, EdG, Williams, Newell, Lomax, Ofa.

Totally. But razor is still sucking mounga cock, I'm worried

@Gunner

He always has the dropsies. He plays like he's bathed in baby oil before every game. Slipping through 10 tackles, and then dropping the ball 3 or 4 times.

Go the Chiefs next week

I hope the ref isn’t BOK so the Crusaders will get punished for their tactics

You could almost say the errors kept the scores closer than they should be. Or that it flattered the crusaders?

Perofeta came across well enough but I don't think he likes the speaking side of rugby

What you’ve described is the score flattering the Crusaders…

So yea, like I said

Blues completely dominant, but failed to convert a lot of opportunities

I only saw 2nd half but 30-0 would have been more accurate score line to reflect it.

[Duluth]

A few Crusaders with some poor tackle stats

Grace missed 8, Hannah missed 7

Contrary to what TJ and Marshall said the misses were spread out across the game. Crusaders missed 44 tackles, but they actually missed 23 in the first half

Same time not straight scrum feeds became legal

Actually they are legal now. Are you serious about the throw ins?

Who is this Forbes character? Goes ok

BOP fullback, has been in Scotland for a few years and just came home last year

He runs great lines. Not sure on his kicking from hand also he struggled on defence in an earlier game. Plenty of potential, I think he’s an upgrade on JRK

[Kirwan]

Well that was easy. Easily could have scored four or five more, which is enjoyable with a 20 point win in very wet conditions.

Great wet weather tactics from us, completely dominated them. Picked a good game to go to.

No I was taking the piss, didn't realise legal

[Kirwan]

Great return from injury

I think a player the Crusaders really miss is Sione Havili. They don't have a defensive hitter in their loose forwards, and without one you can't stop opposition momentum easily.
