Crusaders v Blues

[Mattasaurus]

<p>Blues kickers not looking flash either.. which is not helping--- exit plans are not being executed and they are pinning themselves in their own 22 ...</p>

[Unco]

<p>What the fuck was that?</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>ugly</p>

[Mattasaurus]

<p>try time again.......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Blues back rowers seem very high to me... i know the pressure is on the front row... but that will not help them</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>Blues back to playing as they have for the past decade....need to 'slow it down' and 'earn the right to go wide' </p>

Blues will be very happy to get to halftime with this scoreline , could be so much worse

[antipodean]

Josh Bekhuis shows absolutely no awareness and throws a hospital pass

[Unco]

<p>Both teams look so clueless with ball in hand.</p>

[antipodean]

That halves pairing for the Blues is shit.

[gt12]

Fullback too.

[Mattasaurus]

<p>Saders have shown a bit of structure and reasonable hands as well as some intelligent options .... particularly with their kicking...</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Blues are clueless... not convinced by either of the Blues halves - were they the same as last week?</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>nope...both different to last week, although TBF Guyton looked decent when he came on last week</p>

<p>If the Blues can fix up their scrum , its game on , Crusaders look nothing special with the ball , but their pack is doing the business nicely, </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is a pivotal  moment for me , to see what Tana is about , he has to be seen to make some tactical moves  , before its too late , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If it doesnt come off it doesnt come off , but they cant meander along with the same crap surely </p>

[hydro11]

<p>Crusaders have nothing with ball in hand and their set piece dominance has been waning. I reckon the Blues can run them down if they can score a couple through individual brilliance.</p>

[nzzp]

<p>Saders should be up by more.</p>
<p>
Blues could still burgle this if they score early.  Their bench looks good and they ahve the wind.  And if it is a robbery, I'll chortle all the way...</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>what a dumb arse!</p>

[Tim]

Can't win playing in your own half.

[Mattasaurus]

<p>have the Blues practiced exiting their own territory at all?</p>

Without trying to state the obvious ,<br><br>The next try is enormous
