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

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.

6 lost lineouts
6/12
That’s too much possession to concede
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.

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

@ACT-Crusader yeah, really flat given they are not getting much quick ball.

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.
