SF: Crusaders (Good) v Blues (Evil)

[chimoaus]

What is scary is on paper I thought the Blues almost looked stronger. But the Crusaders clearly a much better team.

[Steven Harris]

The most clinical 40 minutes you would ever see ..Wow..!

[Bones]

How many times can a maul go sideways, stop, go sideways, stop....

Hook Barrett and Christie at half time.

Both lucky to make the AB XV at this rate.

[Machpants]

What's the biggest margin in SR finals?

The difference in physicality between the two packs is staggering.

Do the Blues even lift ?

Blues pack has been impressive this season at least from my viewing. But they can’t get their hands on the ball and all the ball chasing is catching up with them.

[chimoaus]

@Steven-Harris Similar to a certain final at Eden Park not long ago.

What does Leon MacDonald bring to the All Black coaching team exactly?

Crusaders pedigree. Case closed

Razor really is the odd one out of the Crusaders pedigree coaches - Hammettuer, Gibson, Mauger, Thorn, Rangi aren't exactly a great advertisement for the pedigree.

[Gunner]

Great half from the Crusaders and the exact opposite from the Blues has made for a bloody disappointing game of rugby.

[antipodean]

First half is a good argument for having a three team final series in this competition.

[Kirwan]

That’s the most dominant 40mins I’ve seen at Super Level. Fuck.

Let’s not get carried away. Our second half performances this season haven’t been the best part of our game….

[Mattasaurus]

Really concerning how many ABs in the Blues have done fuck all in that 1st 40... Just been schooled

[Bovidae]

I haven't read any comments but obviously Nepo had his one good game (vs NSW) this season and Ofa is back to being a marshmallow.

[Damo]

Crusaders are looking formidable.

That last maul should have been pulled up though. Can't stop and go sideways like that for that length of time.

I thought Crusaders were looking good a few weeks ago but this is a step up.

Dunno. But it'll probably bring us a "What does Rangi have on Razor" thread

All those injuries to your star players means you've probably only got like two internationals on your bench too. Gross.
