[Canes4life]

Blues AB backs don’t look like ABs tonight. Very average.

@Bones your mate dropped a high ball.

Yeah under a fuck load of pressure

It was a joke haha.

Do the Crusaders have a bit of a breeze behind them? Or do they just have a team of massive punters unlike the Blues?

Half time

[African Monkey]

Like, yeah, it's been scrappy out there, but the Crusaders are well in control so far.

For the Blues, Sotutu has gone alright fir the most part, as has Mullan with ball in hand. Other than that, hmmm....

Maybe just avoid the spoon this year haha.

Will honestly be pleased if they do.

Mullan looks impressive with ball in hand can shift for a big man
Lineout throwing is a work on

[antipodean]

The Blues look like a team desperately short of confidence. Too many players thinking of the next task instead of the one in front of them. Poor decisions e.g. pushing passes, compounded by poor skill execution as a result of making those bad decisions under pressure.

In fact some of them are just bad decisions putting themselves under pressure.

And of course when that happens, the bounce of the ball doesn't go your way.

Yeah looking at the draw, maybe 4-5 wins at best? It's been a grim season.

Lineout is understandable I guess, he's starting his first game and it's been a disrupted week, so I'll give him a break there. Looks like a player with promise though.

[sparky]

A really poor first half from the Blues.

To be blunt, a bit of a shambles.

[KiwiMurph]

Crusaders kicking game is so much better than Blues it isn't funny

[Machpants]

Barrett dropped, or injured?

Perofeta not doing his teammates any favours

[African Monkey]

Well that was quick.

[ACT Crusader]

40 seconds in and we score

As the actress said to the bishop

[hydro11]

Blues looked good in the first 10 when they put the Crusaders defence under a lot of pressure. After that, just too many mistakes. Kemara's kicking is the only reason the Blues have a chance.

[Landers92]

Marshall letting Vern Cotter know it was a great start from the Crusaders 😂😂😂 fucking hell

[ACT Crusader]

This goal kicking though. They don’t even look likely.

[Steven Harris]

Amateur hour kick of receive and punished accordingly

Some of his from last week were 'prop on their final game' level

[KiwiMurph]

This is becoming an embarrassment
