My one issue.
Can these Crusaders play like this for the ABs please - transfer this to black!
Sorry, NZR had the chance to appoint Razor as their AB coach. They choose Clown Foster instead.
Under Fozzie, the ABs won’t reach their full potential unfortunately

Gee don't you just hate to love the Sith. Fark this is brutal.
TJ going on about the Sith attack, but the pressure on D is killing the Blues.
Have much admiration.
Poohs, really want the Blues to win.
Eklund's throwing? WTF?
Also, why the gaps in the crowd that's completely sold out?

Massive difference is the accuracy in the pass from the Crusaders..winning the air battle which suggests their kicking game is accurate and the Blues kicking game is woeful ..
Same as last week.

Thought was a dodgy clean out by Matera on Christie too, Christie holding.his head....but no replays.
Coverage has.been average this year
I think Matera could invoke the ginga rule, plus his removal could improve things for the Blues.

Only 40 minutes kids, plenty of time for the Blues to get back in the game, a card or two…

@Bones Havili has been all over RTS to be fair.
It's a great performance so far by DH. It's not as if RTS doesn't have oodles of talent and experience of big, pressure occasions....
Not in a real code tho
RTS has been OK with some pretty good defence. He's made 1-2 dumb mistakes like the rest of the Blues. Think the mid-fields are pretty evenly matched, just the Saders look better in a dominant team. RTS will learn a lot from this game.

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

No cards in this game .... (They didn't even look at a couple of question shoulders

This is the best I have seen them play all year. I guess the experience is showing through. If things don't change I can't see how the Blues can challenge.

Yep, I don't think Razor will be doing his pre-dance warm up yet.

Whitelock winning this game on his own tonight. Legend.

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.

@Anonymous pressure when your up against a championship team
-
Havili on fire but RTS has been one of best of the Blues to be fair.

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

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.
