[Tim]

Havili (?) very lucky to stay on the field after that challenge on Duffie in the air.

Hahaha nope. Ok now i understand why you think TJ is so biased when i can't see why...It's not TJ.

Parsons is not so flash at the offload eh.

Tuipolotu a beast so far

[Tim]

@Bones Watch it again. He went into contact turned to the side (unsighted) and with his shoulder. Very lucky that Duffie didn't get knocked over. Would have been yellow.

[Bones]

That was a bit shit. Bridge scrambling along the ground for the ball should have been penalised, ends in a penalty against the blues.

But anyway, can someone point out to me what Johnson is saying that's so biased against the blues? I'm genuinely curious as i can never seem to figure it out.

The Blues just need a simple game plan. Keep the ball in hand as much as possible. They look dangerous when they have the ball.

[Tim]

Tuipulotu. Great to have you back buddy.

[Nepia]

Nice try by Moala - man it's weird how he looks average sized (height) when he's running near Ioane.

[Tim]

Simplest ideas are always the best.

Crusaders getting done in mid-field and out wide.

[Tim]

Tupou's best game by a mile.

[taniwharugby]

MIssed the start, did Goodhue pick up an injury before k/o?

[taniwharugby]

Blues well off-side there.

[taniwharugby]

oh dear....gotta be guted about ending the half like that.

[kiwiinmelb]

Good game so far ,

I didn't have great hopes of that after last week ,

Credit to tana , blues have fronted

[Chris B.]

@taniwharugby Yeah - tight calf or hamstring. He's a big loss - forming a good combo with Crotty.

Crusaders are very short on experience and combinations from 7-15.

[taniwharugby]

@Chris-B. and the Blues look to be targetting there too.

[Stargazer]

No wonder it's not going well for the Saders, with only Crotty being the first choice player still standing in the backline, and a few forwards missing in action, too. Butter fingers, too.
