Blues v Crusaders
-
Reckon the bye might even beat the crusaders.
-
Blues completely dominant, but failed to convert a lot of opportunities
-
Anyone know the penalty count?
-
If moody is anywhere near abs, I'll be calling cantablack bullshit
-
Moody dominated by Renata. Never thought I'd see it.
-
Fuck I'm sick of the dick riding from TJ just accept the Crusaders are shit
-
@Machpants He's been club level since 2020.

True. The Crusaders escaped a few yellow cards too. There was 15mins they had no intention of competing
-
So what's the longest losing streak for a tier one country super coach?

No chance. Bower, EdG, Williams, Newell, Lomax, Ofa.
-
So close to the bonus

@Gunner said in Blues v Crusaders:
Score as it stands very much flatters the Crusaders, Blues should have won by a lot more.
I actually disagree. The first half the Blues edged. In the second half, the Blues dominated but left a lot of points out there. Most of that was due to mistakes or poor decisions from key players (like Tuipulotu and Telea who otherwise had very good games).

Totally. But razor is still sucking mounga cock, I'm worried

Go the Chiefs next week
I hope the ref isn’t BOK so the Crusaders will get punished for their tactics

You could almost say the errors kept the scores closer than they should be. Or that it flattered the crusaders?

Perofeta came across well enough but I don't think he likes the speaking side of rugby

What you’ve described is the score flattering the Crusaders…
So yea, like I said 😉

I only saw 2nd half but 30-0 would have been more accurate score line to reflect it.
-
A few Crusaders with some poor tackle stats
Grace missed 8, Hannah missed 7
Contrary to what TJ and Marshall said the misses were spread out across the game. Crusaders missed 44 tackles, but they actually missed 23 in the first half

Same time not straight scrum feeds became legal
Actually they are legal now. Are you serious about the throw ins?

Who is this Forbes character? Goes ok

BOP fullback, has been in Scotland for a few years and just came home last year
He runs great lines. Not sure on his kicking from hand also he struggled on defence in an earlier game. Plenty of potential, I think he’s an upgrade on JRK
-
Well that was easy. Easily could have scored four or five more, which is enjoyable with a 20 point win in very wet conditions.
Great wet weather tactics from us, completely dominated them. Picked a good game to go to.

No I was taking the piss, didn't realise legal

I think a player the Crusaders really miss is Sione Havili. They don't have a defensive hitter in their loose forwards, and without one you can't stop opposition momentum easily.

Zarn Sullivan injured his knee. Scan tomorrow.

Agreed
Thought he was the difference in the backs

@Bones HI how's it going?
Yeah, just watching now, and yes, I'll concede, the Crusaders are in full rebuild. A lot of kids in the pack mixed with a lot of past it old men. Watching Joe Moody getting dominated by Marcel Renata of all people was quite sad to watch in a way as he was once a great player, but now it's barely a shadow of himself.
Dare I say the Blues should be a bit disappointed not getting a BP? we left a fair few points out there. Obviously conditions didn't help, but I did feel like we should have had about 2 more tries with better option taking.
Still, any win against the Crusaders is a good win no matter the situation so we'll take it.

@Canes4life said in Blues v Crusaders:
So is Wilson calling Grace and Christie inexperienced now?
TJ whinging about the players not there, get over it. Every team goes through it.
Tell me about it. If we ever had injuries over the years and attempted to bring it up during our dark days we got laughed out of town for it.

You don't expect me to watch more than his obvious highlights?

On evidence so far this year, I'm not sold on that one.
