    Blues completely dominant, but failed to convert a lot of opportunities

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Tuipulotu excellent. What a game from him. McWhannell also played very well.

    Ricciitelli threw well (as did Vikena).

    Cotter really has the Blues playing like a top 14 French team haha.

    Grace might have to be the most disappointing Crusader. Just hasn't lifted and taked on a senior role.

    Hotham and Hannah went well for Crusaders I thought.

    Hard to get a read on many Crusaders cos they never got into their game and haven't all season.
