SF Crusaders v Blues
-
TBH the Crusaders deserved to win - they played the ref better and better rugby for ~75% of the game.
Blues ill-discipline and journeymen meant they couldn't apply pressure when it counted.

Thought Zarn played pretty well
He kicks long but did nothing on attack.
Yeah his lack of speed I do think holds him back
If only he had his brother's pace
Yeah his brother is awesome.

5 defenders beaten the most from either side. Good line break early in the second half but the only player available was Christie

@KiwiMurph You could have prime Nuggy out there and he'd be hard pressed making Ta'avao, Choat, Eklund etc. look like finalists.

He does lack pace though. Rather annoying

Nuggy who won Super Rugby with that star studded Landers team

Big pressure game that points to who can be considered for ABs and who misses out.
Havent seen the game.
ABs winners and losers from each team? -
If the Chiefs beat the Brumbies tomorrow are they capable of winning it? I’m just not sure if they have the mental toughness to get across the line.

ABs winners and losers from each team?Has to be said , Sotutu really let himself down tonight when it mattered most .. its big games like this where the selectors take note.
But i didn't see any AB level performance in the packs TBH, the only AB performance for me tonight was Will Jordan

ABs winners and losers from each team?Thought that Havili was bloody good, and Blackadder had a good one. All the usuals stood up. Jordan,Scooter Barrett etc for Crusaders BB, PT etc for Blues. Thought Papali'i went well too.

Jordan had a couple of magic touches that made the difference.
Blues starting tight five would only have Tuipulotu. Papali'i was busy.
