Crusaders v Blues

[chimoaus]

Fucken stocked to see such a great game of rugby, well played all.

[Yeetyaah]

What a fucking game.

[Dice]

Honestly, Crusaders did a great job to get back into that one. I was a bit worried.

Here Dalton you dropped this - 👑

[Tim]

Barrett should have put that game away. Two big penalty misses from Perofeta, and team bombed two tries with a man advantage.

[ACT Crusader]

@toddy would’ve been boring if we had won. Saders doing their part to help NZ and Super rugby 😀

[Victor Meldrew]

Some dodgy refereeing but a great game. Blus jept theor composure n the last 5 minutes.

Papilii was awesome as was Ofa, Jordan & Mounga.

[Tim]

Blues loose forwards were huge. Tu'ungufasi huge.

Jordan is class.

[Dice]

Dalton made so many big plays inside the 22. One of the best individual performances of the season.

Ioane pace to cover on defense is absolutely incredible. I count four times he shouldn’t have made ground. That tackle was brilliant.

Yeah, he's awesome in cover, it's just a pity his pace isn't used so well in attack by the ABs.

@tim Sotutu was like a man possessed

[Tim]

@steven-harris Yeah, best game from him for a couple of seasons.

[chimoaus]

We possibly have the best loose forward depth we have seen in some time. I just wish our locking depth was the same.

[Tim]

Hope Hodgman is OK.

He's been massive this year.

[Dice]

Rieko didn't make any breaks, but he had a lot of tough carries in traffic that got us going.

Hoskins was great. He didn't drift out of the game like he's prone to do. Also made the effort to make sure each his plays counted. Hit hard on D, was a pest at the ruck and did it for 80.

[Steven Harris]

What a great game and from a Blues point of view grateful for the win ,but on the other hand I have got to say what a champion team the Crusaders are ..no other team would have come back like that after looking down and out

[antipodean]

Surely Jordan has to be the All Black fullback? He needs to get his hands on the ball more in Test rugby.

That is why I love this game! Bloody brilliant1 Loved it as a neutral I was still on edge of my seat.
