Crusaders v Blues

Blues are a hard watch.

To be fair this is a carbon copy of almost every time they play in Chch at this ground

@KiwiInLondon 💯..beggars belief
The crazy thing is if there was only 3 points in this I would bet dollars to doughnuts they would be taking the shot

How is that crazy? Down 3 vs down 12 is totally different

Blues not accumulating points when on offer and drifting out of touch

Blues have effectively dug their own grave though. Just needed to stay in touch in these conditions... they have not looked like scoring a try all night. Crusaders will always give enough penalties to stay in the game. Now they are forced to chase the game.

Finally they work out getting one of your better ball carriers up against a thinly defended area

KiwiMurph

but they should have taken the 3.....

Sotutu outplays the entire crusaders loose trio

Blues have accumulated 7 and are now well in touch.

Everyone does that from a free kick. Duh

Bit of ruck watching from Newell there as well at running into the posts. The big fella is gassed. Good work Hoskins

I will say, Sotutu has been good tonight.

They have been down 7 to start the game

Then down 7 at halftime

Then down 12 early second half

They need tries

KiwiMurph

Blackadder knock on

Fuck he is average

Bones

What's with the commentary volume dipping significantly at every restart?

And they could be in front if they took all their opportunities. 2 tries for all that possession and territory is woeful. They blues are tactically incompetent

The Blues might win this, but I think the percentage option earlier when they were down by 7 was to take the three. Chasing the game away from home against the team currently top doesn't generally work.
