    6 lost lineouts

    6/12

    That’s too much possession to concede

    Crusaders showing their class as usual sadly for us Blues fans. Never say never but a long long way back for us. Crusaders score next of any kind and we're done for good.

    What happened to Sotutu?

    Shoulder to head clean out on him. Where was the foul play review?

    Yep looked like it - someone should have had a word to the ref about it. Blues players look completely overawed they don't even know what to do when there's foul play

    @No-Quarter said in Final: Blues vs Crusaders:

    Blues bench forwards are going to need to make an impact in the 2nd 40 to turn this around.

    Still very much game on, if the Blues can get a bit of territory and possession they are absolutely lethal on attack

    The long passing game needs to be shelved if the Blues are to persist with the flat attack line. Saders are basically playing a rush defence and in these conditions, that is high risk stuff from them. Mix it up with a short passing game.

    And the possession they have had has been extremely scrappy.

    Mo'unga and Havili have been good but they've also had an absolute glut of go forward ball.

    Take the Blues lineout and kicking, then counter with how well Crusaders 9, 10, and 12 are playing.

    Barrett must take control. Get Romano and Papalii out there.

    @Nevorian tbf injuries aside I expect the squad was selected 2 or 3 weeks back.

    Would also love to see that DG brought out against Ireland when opportunity presents. Keep them guessing

    It's more than likely that we'll see some shitty cross field kicking if the blues get good possession. Hope I'm wrong

    This game would have made no difference to selections - remember PGS made the team.

    RTS and Sotutu have been carrying the load. Choat not too bad either.

    Saders are playing well as a unit. Richie getting good ball which means the pack are hitting the collisions with some force.

    I just went back and checked. Definite shoulder to head clean out on Sotutu.
    Should have been no try and a RC from what I could see.
    If there’s a citing post game there will be all sorts of shit.

    I do have some concerns about BB vs rush defence and trying to exit etc.
