@Jaguares4real great game by the Jags

Jaguares were the better team but when you bomb 2 tries + don't kick a penalty 40m out 15m from touch you deserve to lose
Crusaders were functional and did enough to win & were clinical when they got a chance
Diaz Bonilla chose a bad time to have his worst game of the season - 2nd half was utter filth
WTF Moroni was doing for Crusaders try + his actions for the bombed try were negligent
I'm pissed off a game the Jaguares could have won, they let slip with bad decision making and execution
If you weren’t trolling during the week leading up to tonight, you surely are now.

My wife said they were better looking , maybe that’s what he means

Fuck I'll be the first to admit that I hate the Crusaders and their successes and I'll say shit like ah fuck them they're shit and boring. But to be the best you have to beat the best. And right now, the Crusaders under razor are just too good. If he isn't the next AB's coach, I'll be disappointed.

easy picking

Not trolling Marshall made a similar point in terms of the stats
But sadly the game is not played on paper
Crusaders outside of some pressure in 50th minute did not threaten to score a try
Crusaders deserved to win as they were more efficient but Jaguares were IMO the better team
But that counts for little

Congrats Crusaders. Way too clinical.
Mounga goal kicking very impressive.
Conditions hampered Jags in their offloading game I thought.
Young Jags 10 went to pieces a tad.
That game pretty much went entirely as expected. No plot twists.
Glad Matera got man of match. He was the best player on the field - absolute gun.

they do when they leave at least 15 points on the table and gift a try through a winger having a brain fart

Well said
In the 2nd half Mo'unga stepped up & Diaz Bonilla had a stinker
Matera was best player on the pitch with honourable mention for Todd

Coulda, shoulda, woulda.
Didn’t.
Distant second on the scoreboard.
Couldn’t even score one try.
Not even one.
Not. Even. One.
Better team?
In an opposites universe...

Stats don’t win matches. Defence does. Marshall doing his best unbiased commentary.
Other than that period in the first half where the Jags were attacking red hot and playing extremely flat, I thought the tactics of the Jags changed for the worst.
The Jags 1st 5 started standing extremely deep. The forwards weren’t as quick to their spots in attack. All that possession and not scoring does take its toll.

As delusional as your pre game posts. You said it, the game isn’t played on paper. Cherry picking stats to suggest a team, that was beaten with plenty of time to go, was the better team is pathetic.
The Crusaders didn’t need to push for tries in the second half. They were happy chalking points up in 3’s.

The final was last week. Jaguares never had a chance. Well done on the 10th Crusaders. Hopefully a new winner next year. 🤙

Not a great game in terms of pure excitement given it was sealed with 7 minutes to go, but a very clinical performance from some ABs which is great to see leading into TRC and the WC.
Read is not the player he was ranging wide but he gets through a ton of work and rarely makes mistakes, which are great attributes for our 8 to have in tight test matches.
Mo'unga looks very calm in the big games now, has really found his feet at the top level and adds a huge amount to the AB squad. He's a world class 10 now.
I'm definitely ready for some international footy now, bring on the ABs!

Indeed
Diaz Bonilla got worse as the match wore on & that killed the Jaguares game plan- they totally rely on #10 to be flat and provide options for ball runners
Kicking from 9 is a better strategy

Fair play to the Jaguares ... tough travel across for the game, and I suspect there may not have been another team in the comp that would have beaten them tonight. If they hold on to most players for next year, they will be very tough to beat. Certainly a long way from where they started.
But you can't score 3 points in a final an expect to win anything. One bombed try, and two close chances don't count for much, when I think the Saders let themselves down a couple of times too. If everybody had taken 80% of their chances, the score would have been something like 30-18.
But they didn't, and hence scoreboard pressure meant the Saders never really had to take risks, whilst the Jaguares did. And that ... is final's rugby.
They'll be better for it next year.
