I thought that was a great game of rugby. If you thought it was boring, give the World Cup a miss.
Yeah. The Jaguares were great with ball in hand too, just missing the final pass.
The difference between the final canes semi final was really just that both teams in the final were on their games defensively.
In cricket terms this was 240 being chased down on a tricky pitch, last week was chasing 350 on a flat deck.

The Saders completely changed their tactics after the first 25 minutes,the decision not to play rugby in their own half was very smart..they stuck to a very good kicking game, and applied pressure at scrum time.
The Jaguaries were worthy opponents and finalists but you have got to take your chances..it’s a shame this game was not played in the afternoon..
I thought Read,Whitelock and Todd especially were outstanding in the forwards.
In the backs ,Mounga’s goal kicking was superb..liked the work of Bridge and Havili at the back but I thought their best back was Bryn Hall..
Really good final,with test match intensity..good luck to all the Saders heading off shore..! -

maybe lacked a bit of big game experience at crucial
Crusaders deserved to win
Jaguares were the better team but when you bomb 2 tries + don't kick a penalty 40m out 15m from touch you deserve to lose
Crusaders were functional and did enough to win & were clinical when they got a chance
Diaz Bonilla chose a bad time to have his worst game of the season - 2nd half was utter filth
WTF Moroni was doing for Crusaders try + his actions for the bombed try were negligent
I'm pissed off a game the Jaguares could have won, they let slip with bad decision making and execution

Awesome win and great to get the 3-peat. Had the feel of a test match (a test match in heavy rain).
Jags had their chances but spent long periods just kicking the ball away in good position. Due mostly to great defence.
Loved Mounga’s goal kicking.
I hope those kiwis that wanted a jags win enjoy those sour grapes.

Pablo played like what Read used to. He’s dynamic out on the wing.

@Jaguares4real great game by the Jags
Don’t think they were the best team ?? I think the best team won -

If you weren’t trolling during the week leading up to tonight, you surely are now.

My wife said they were better looking , maybe that’s what he means

Fuck I'll be the first to admit that I hate the Crusaders and their successes and I'll say shit like ah fuck them they're shit and boring. But to be the best you have to beat the best. And right now, the Crusaders under razor are just too good. If he isn't the next AB's coach, I'll be disappointed.

easy picking

Not trolling Marshall made a similar point in terms of the stats
But sadly the game is not played on paper
Crusaders outside of some pressure in 50th minute did not threaten to score a try
Crusaders deserved to win as they were more efficient but Jaguares were IMO the better team
But that counts for little

Congrats Crusaders. Way too clinical.
Mounga goal kicking very impressive.
Conditions hampered Jags in their offloading game I thought.
Young Jags 10 went to pieces a tad.
That game pretty much went entirely as expected. No plot twists.
Glad Matera got man of match. He was the best player on the field - absolute gun.

they do when they leave at least 15 points on the table and gift a try through a winger having a brain fart

Well said
In the 2nd half Mo'unga stepped up & Diaz Bonilla had a stinker
Matera was best player on the pitch with honourable mention for Todd

Coulda, shoulda, woulda.
Didn’t.
Distant second on the scoreboard.
Couldn’t even score one try.
Not even one.
Not. Even. One.
Better team?
In an opposites universe...
