@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 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.

They have been down 7 to start the game

Then down 7 at halftime

Then down 12 early second half

They need tries

Blackadder knock on

Fuck he is average

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

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

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.

Sliding doors is a decent movie.

It's not tactical incompetence it's average attack and poor execution

Nice first scrum for Tupaea

Psychic energy with the Blues

All of a sudden the referee isn't biased as the calls start to go against the Crusaders...

The Blues aren’t tactically incompetent?
