I think TJ literally blew his top off over that try.

If you only had the sound on, you’d guess the Crusaders had scored four tries in the lead up to that one.

Like Wales

[Hooroo]

Who was the starting Crusaders halfback? He’s really shit aye?

Crusaders found their rhythm once he poked off.

Crusaders crusading. Looking smarter than Auckland.

Yea I definitely heard it, hard not to.

Crusaders all class. Clinical when it matters.

NB: George Bridges has been awesome.

So now standing up in the scrum under pressure is not a penalty. That just summed up the game. Like why bother referee

[ACT Crusader]

Good intense game.

I think Rangi needs to bite the bullet and put Barrett at 10 and get his hands on the ball more closer to the action. He would be better at setting up and playing off those big loosies and Patty.

Well done crusaders, Better team won

Blues should enjoy the challenge of getting them at eden park

Telea under the high ball in the 2nd half looked a bit like Sivivatu and Rokocoko in 2009. Saders were able to win easy field position there when the match was in the balance. Ok the back of the charge down and the subsequent kick off was where the match was won IMO. Obvs some of the reffing at the stage could have swung it back to the Blues had it been reffed properly, but you know the refs will give the team on top the benefit of the doubt.

Caleb Ralph also played well on occasion

Nice one crusaders, hard luck blues. Crusaders just looked like they expected to win.

Bit of a choke by the blues I think due to a bit of pressure. Went into their shells. They'll learn from it.

[Bovidae]

A good intense game. Mo'unga showed his class in the 2nd half.

I lasted about 55 mins before I muted TJ. I am sure he shot his load at the end!

I don’t mind the way he’s running things early in matches but BB needs to be running the cutter much earlier in the match. I’d switch him in at the start of the second half as the standard plan

Great game Blues were good for 60 they can only get better
Sotutu,Akira and Patty T were great 3 pronged physical carriers That is hard to contain
