Game of three halves - Blues/Crusaders/Chiefs - 20/02, 12pm

[number9]

Very impressed with Plumtree.

[Yeetyaah]

That lineout was crooked as fuck

[Tim]

Fainga'anuku going to be dangerous this year.

[Yeetyaah]

Dang that was impressive. Fihaki has some pace.

[number9]

Blues back 3 not committing to the tackle, too much ball watching.

[number9]

AJ Lake and Perofeta did not do anything on D.

[Yeetyaah]

Blackadder gone again. Akira starting shit in the breakdown, at least he hasn't changed.

[number9]

Blues forwards looking good
.

[number9]

Crusaders bunch of bloody cheats, typical.

[Yeetyaah]

Hopefully the Crusaders bring this form into SRA.

[Tim]

Chiefs: lineout
Crusaders: not be offside constantly

[Tim]

Just fucking engage the scrum.

[number9]

Going for rhe line out was a good call, nice try.

[Yeetyaah]

I still don't quite get the referral. Do they have to specify a player who was offside? So they can't just say nah check the offside?

[Yeetyaah]

These offsides are embarrassing. Junior rugby stuff.

They have to be specific and have one shot at it with the ref.

[Tim]

Blues looked a lot better as that half went on.

[Stargazer]

I hope the refs are going hard now on the discipline, but soften a bit during the season. They were killing the game at the start of SRA last season. Particularly those penalties for not rolling away are dubious. Players hardly get time to roll away. Good to see them penalise the offside though, that's annoying stuff players must get right.

Great game from particularly Ruru.

[Tim]

Perofeta injured?

[Yeetyaah]

Slater's throwing looks good.
