[number9]

Damn it, we maybe down but we are not out. Crusaders are beatable.

Sevu Reece is so active. I’m still surprised he wasn’t used a lot in the last EOY tour. I’m a blues supporter but I like him more than Clarke as an AB.

Clarke, outside of that one game versus Oz, has been nothing. Look at the scoring rate for SR and ABs, Reece miles ahead.

@DMack has a huge work rate too.

Hope that is lemonade DC

I wonder whether we could use Jordan and Telea as our first choice wings?

Sevu is good - but, he's a bit unpredictable - both for the opposition and his team mates.

Telea is pretty close to a power wing if he can play on the left. He's got to be more than the 94kgs he's listed at.

Mounga and Barrett both showing weaknesses at 10. Not sure either can step up to play well at international

One area Clarke is out pointing Reece is in the air.

Most of the game is played on the ground tho.

@Chris-B really impressive from a team missing Jordon,Goodhue ,Havilli and Newall ..
And who the heck is Havilli Talatui..?

[DMack]

@Machpants Totally. Reece doesn’t seem to make horrid decisions either. Not sure the same could be said for Clarke. But he is a selectors fav so I’m not sure they see his failings.

[Canerbry]

Blues finding big gaps quite a few times, Crusaders basically just need to not kick the ball away. Looking at you, Ritchie.

Scrums are awesome, the Blues were supposed to be much better than this.

McLeod, Blackadder, Whitelock, Mo'unga, Reece looking shit hot. Codie Taylor not.

@nzzp Starting to think that Brett Cameron might come through the middle of the fallout of the 10s

I've been really pleased with Richie and thought BB has gone well as well.

[Steven Harris]

Huh? This is like his 4th season at the Crusaders. Ta$man loosie.

[DMack]

@Chris-B I’d be happy with that. Just not sure Clarke is it.

I'm thinking of France and Ireland bombing the shit out Reece rather than advocating for Clarke.

Nah not with foster, he will stick with tried and tested(not really tried and true, with many of them). And being gone post RWC he has less than zero interest in growing the team for the future. It's going too bea huge clean out next year, I reckon we'll go down before we go back up
