    You are not going to beat the Crusaders by allowing them to score 40+ points.

    slightly better kickign and we put 30 on the crusaders. That's not shabby.

    Crusaders were super clinical, particularly in the first half, but seemed to get a lot of points handed to them.

    Liam Napier opines about a team being the real deal. It is obvious the Blues were inferior to the Crusaders today,but they did match tries scored.I would suggest this Blues team was the real deal last year and to continue to denigrate a team because they can’t finally beat arguably the best franchise team in world rugby,is to downplay the significant progress they have made.Of course they are the real deal.

    @trodthesod cheap clickbait journalism. My surprise knows no bounds.

    @trodthesod depends what you mean by real deal. If real deal means title contenders then Napier is right.

    Your right of course ,but the “real deal” for some reason grinds my gears.

    Some of the shoddy play from both teams today,suggested neither team was the “ real deal”!

    In scoring his try and showboating, Reece only did what Rieko does pretty much every try he scores. Pretty hilarious.

    Loved it. Remember when Carlos Spencer walked into the corner after scoring in the last minute of a Crusaders-Blues game? Mild piss-taking between opposing players (if funny) is part of the game.

    Reece executed it well. I hope him and Reiko had a beer or played a game of Fortnite together afterwards. Storm in tea cup.

    Speaking of locks as someone mentioned earlier it’s pretty hard to look past Sam Whitelock as one of the best we’ve had, he’s played well for about a million years.

    Yes I can't recall a single shit game from him.

    @antipodean He looked a bit tired and didn't have a huge impact on the 2019 RWC semi Final and the loss against Argentina last year. But his overall record is superb and for the Crusaders outstanding. Razor seems to know how to get the best out of him too. Great player.

    Classic Auckland media types trying to manufacture a "someone else is the asshole" crisis.

    @canerbry We need to get large crowds back watching Rugby in New Zealand. Its characters that will do that. Both Ioanes, Mo'unga and Reece as well as being fantastic Rugby players are guys with big personalities. Huge assets for NZ Rugby at the moment.

    Tom Robinson is such an underrated player

    Wouldn't have thought. Most were picking him for the ABs last year before he was injured.

    @nta I see I am going to have to watch what Reece did again. Didn't notice any theatrics apart from him putting his hand out to 'appeal' for a penalty.

    I'm astonished ... he went down and stayed down like he'd been shot. Very soccer-like

    It was the fact his arms were up and flung out before he had even hit the ground. If he was injured or in danger, he would have used those arms to protect himself. It was fkn digusting soccer-ism, he did the same last week (without the pretending to be injured until TMO call then straight up) when he was bumped after the whistle

    @sparky You missed a post in that thread:

    Harmon replied to Wall; Gourdie responded to Harmon's reply. So Gourdie agreed with Harmon, not Wall.


    Also, this was indeed what Mo'unga said (he hadn't seen Reece's try celebration, so could only respond to how it was described to him):


    Wall says in response to someone else, who asked whether he was kidding: "Yes, I am kidding". (Not sure I believe that. Wall is a known Crusaders-hater, and Canes supporter btw, not a Blues supporter).

    @stargazer I saw it. Seriously anyone who has a problem with Reece's celebration needs to lighten up a bit. It's entertainment not church.

    @sparky Yep, exactly, but some types are very good at twisting words (in this case, Mo'unga's) only to make them look bad.
