Blues decision making has been terrible. Nock went missing several times. Awful play.

Nock is terrible. Always has been

The problem is the lineout though

10 lineouts lost

9/19 vs 11/11. An extra possession every 8mins. That’s the match

How damaging will this be to the Blues moving forward?

Would like to think they’ll learn from it and get better.

[chimoaus]

Razor still needs overseas experience?

[Winger]

Blues have been poor. Disappointing. I didn't expect them to win but hoped for a close contest

[taniwharugby]

@Tim odd too, Nock saw what was going on too, so was well onto it.and still made a hash of it

[No Quarter]

@Mattasaurus said in Final: Blues vs Crusaders:

Too many of the Blues ABs simply haven't stood up when it counted.

That's the most disappointing part of the match. Looking like the Cantablacks for test 1 v Ireland and I'm not sure I'd blame the coaches if that's what they do..

[Tim]

@Steven-Harris why the fuck wasn't nock at the back of the ruck? He is terrible.

[antipodean]

Congratulations Crusaders, well deserved win. Clearly the better team in the final.

All Black team selected a week early.

@Tim said in Final: Blues vs Crusaders:

@Canes4life they'll learn a fuckload from it. And look for a better halfback

I don't think they will, they think he's the one.

A functioning lineout is probably more important. Is Pari Pari Parkinson still signed to the Highlanders?

Both Ioane’s and B Barrett have been awfully quiet tonight.

Akira thinks his jersey has an 11 or 14 on it.

I’ve been drinking every time he hits a ruck. Haven’t had to get a beer out of the fridge yet

Careful. You can’t critique Akira’s work rate around here.

You need to actually have a work rate to critique! Everything he does is slow mo

@Nepia I thought Luke Romano was the great saviour?

[Toddy]

How many times did Hoskins knock that on before he picked it up

[Steven Harris]

@Mattasaurus spot on ..both Ioane brothers quiet, BB and Christie no influence whatsoever ever , Front row , not even in the game ..
Blues have weighed , quartered and found wanting

[chimoaus]

KT must be the worst ABs selection in along time.

Massive fuckup not starting Tucker. Runs the line out and has been in amazing form all season

[Hooroo]

Pumped for 80 mins. Never in it.

Crusader Class is pretty fucking awesome to watch.

[Crucial]

7-9 is the real score. Matera got a RC before the Saders first try and wasn’t there to put that kick through for Reece.

[Steven Harris]

@chimoaus along with Ofa

[ACT Crusader]

The big Ginga thinks he’s super man with that leap 😉
