Crusaders v Blues

Victor Meldrew

Only 2023 Beauds could work some 2010's Beauden magic and then fuck it up in the most un-beauden-like way.

Hear ya, but TBF, the bounce of the ball.

Always goes 2010's Beaudens way

Good to see Will Jordan back and playing well.

Didn’t everyone call him Golden balls?

Lol Karl Te Nana saying this is a top of the table clash. Is the guy thick? Clearly the Chiefs are at the top.

I really like the nouce Goodhue brings to the defensive line. he really does read the game well and take the right options at the right time

He does. The Blues attacking shape is hardly challenging though

KiwiMurph

Is it just me or has Telea's form fallen away badly? Like PGS last Super.....

Choat and Grace the pick of the loosies for me, Christie had a huge game on D
Tuipolotu had one of his best games in a while

Saders pack - lineout in particular was very good and with out big Sam...

Pleased to see a glimpse of BBs running game.. may it grow and continue

Steven Harris

Outstanding defensive effort from the Crusaders , and when you consider who they are missing makes it even more impressive

antipodean

I've said this before about the Blues; but they show no discernible plan to create doubt in the defender's mind.

All the skill and too predictable t be able to show it.

His Bobness

Blues lose the IQ test once again. Dogged on defence, predictable on attack. And kicking away what little possession they had. Don’t get any sense of strategic thinking on their part or variation thereof. Just as well it’s Razor as the senior coach and Leon as the assistant.

@Mattasaurus said in Crusaders v Blues:

Not so sure on that call

KiwiMurph

If Reds can bring the same defensive line next week as they did last night they'll eye up a win vs Blues.

Christ on a bike the NZR looks amateur when a representative makes a rambling, disjointed speech like that.

The trouble with BB’s running game is it starts at 70mins. That is no good to his team.

It didn’t affect the result but the TMO should be stood down for missing that huge knock on

antipodean

Fainga'anuku had a strong game.

Was it three phases of play after the knock on? Isn't there a rule that the TMO can only go back two phases?

Duluth

@Toddy that’s an old rule. Plus they were reviewing that exact moment for the card
