Blues v Crusaders

@Gunner said in Blues v Crusaders:
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).

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

What you’ve described is the score flattering the Crusaders…
So yea, like I said

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

What is up with the hooker standing in play to throw to the line out. When was that legal

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

Agreed
Thought he was the difference in the backs

Oh hi @African-Monkey
@Bones HI how's it going?
Yeah, just watching now, and yes, I'll concede, the Crusaders are in full rebuild. A lot of kids in the pack mixed with a lot of past it old men. Watching Joe Moody getting dominated by Marcel Renata of all people was quite sad to watch in a way as he was once a great player, but now it's barely a shadow of himself.
Dare I say the Blues should be a bit disappointed not getting a BP? we left a fair few points out there. Obviously conditions didn't help, but I did feel like we should have had about 2 more tries with better option taking.
Still, any win against the Crusaders is a good win no matter the situation so we'll take it.
