Gotta admit it worries me slightly come the ABs how Barret will handle the suffocating Irish in regards to general play kicking. It was pretty sure in that second half.
I’m worried about our whole team against the Irish. Certainly not as confident as I normally would be.
It seems we are good with ball in hand going forward but our exits and tactical kicking seem to be our weakness.
The Crusaders know how.

@chimoaus that’s why I think Jordie at 12 will work. He will take a lot of pressure off Beauden/Mo’unga

They know how to give the opposition the ball and practice D all night. I don't think the ABs will beat the Irish making 200+ tackles and next to no possession.

Crusaders favourites for next week, really. Should be a cracker
I look forward to the TAB calling this one.

TAB has Blues as $1.75 favs

Blues will be favourites and deservedly so but my money is on the Crusaders, they just know how to get the job done.

Agreed, I actually thought Perofeta was superior to BB but just didn't get enough opportunities.

A bit like me with the missus. 👍

There is always a balance and you play to your strengths. They win. But Blues tactics appalling tonight given they were winning collisions and dominating rucks.

Lolesio DG at the end was... Interesting option taking.
Good final next week. Shame about the forecast
They panicked and went too early
Had all of the momentum and should have tried a couple of more phases -
There's going to be a lot of chat about that, but I guess you have to ask if you're supporting your bodyweight.

Hands clearly on ground 😀

Ultimately could have gone either way, much like the maul try and several other calls in a game. You can't focus on that one bad call and say we were robbed.
