Crusaders v Blues

Toddy

Massive hold up in play because a prop has a sore ankle. I thought we'd moved on from holding up the game if the player wasn't needed.

Jailbreak7

Hah probably needed Roigard instead ofDrummond there.

antipodean

And again ffs.

@antipodean hasnt that been one of the clear differences betwene the officiating by NZ refs vs aus ones (and games)

taniwharugby

@Jailbreak7 would Drummond make the bench in any other NZ super side?

Mattasaurus

and this is a world cup ref ffs

antipodean

Clarke looks like a HIA incoming. Got up dizzy from that.

Tim

Christie did great work on defence.

antipodean

This game will never end at this rate.

Gunner

14 minutes of awesome defence from the Blues.

This game has a finals intensity to it.

Mattasaurus

Christie did great work on defence.

as good defence as i have seen from him, plus a least 1 turnover too

taniwharugby

@antipodean tbf, pace is pretty relentless so far, but I'd not want berry reffing sa or ireland

Mattasaurus

as a landers fan i really wish they would stop showing the full table

Jailbreak7

Commentators curse lol

Bones

This is the best I've seen Tuipulotu play ever. I didn't know he had this kinda game in him.

Tim

Christie's had his beans tonight.

KiwiMurph

This is the best I've seen Tuipulotu play ever. I didn't know he had this kinda game in him.

He can't drop the ball when defending

Bones

Taylor leans over the tackle, clearly not supporting his own weight

Mattasaurus

If Blues can score first after all that defence it would be a hell of a statement

Mattasaurus

@Bones looked fine on the replay
