Crusaders v Blues a.k.a. NZ's festum odii

[Jeffrey]

Man the Crusaders needed Pablo Matera. Some intensity, please.
I mean look at his attitude compared to Christie or Grace.
Look fuck just give it to me. I'll fucking truck it up. GIVE IT TO ME.

On the other hand, I hope Foster has the guts to drop Codie Taylor. Complete pushover.

 

[Wilson]

If there was ever a position the Blues would lose this game from it's this one

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Take the three, run down the Red clock & get the ball back. Still time to win this 15-on-15.

 

[Jeffrey]

Ditto George Bridge. Some intensity and urgency compared to Ennor.

For the blues, get your subs on FFS. Laulala, RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck), Sullivan, get on.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Is outside arm no longer a thing at lineout time?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Sevu Reece you fucking beauty! Even if you did maybe knock it on a coupla phases back...

 

[Jeffrey]

Yes boy! Reece in. He's had a good game Reece.
Finally, some urgency and some forward momentum.
Let's go boys the Blues are rocking. Here's where leadership is imp for the Blues.
Riccitelli and Choat should have been on much earlier. The coach didn't recognise a tiring team and subbed way too late.

Hell of a tackle from Ioane

 

[A mutterer]

this game is a nailbiter

 

[Up the Guts]

Great stuff Blues

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

CruSadists overplayed their hand at the end. Full credit to Loss Bleus, deserved winners on the night.

 

[Jeffrey]

Great game. Fantastic entertainment. Thanks for the effort boys.
Even though the Crusaders lost, the last 25 mins was the Crusaders I love and remember - effort, desire, unrelenting commitment.
The Blues have such a deep team, so many stars in so many different positions.
Some folks enhanced their reputation (e.g. Gallagher), some finally found a bit of form in the final 25 (Tu'uganfasi, Bridge, Mou'anga, Reece, Romano), and some played beneath themselves.

 

[Dan54]

Reckon. I'll be able to breath soon, I can't believe how good that was.

****WELFARE CHECK****

I'm assuming the lack of posting from one D Pillock is down to spasm in his forearm muscles...

 

[zer0]

Was a good game. Never had any doubt at all they'd get it done.

I’d blame ScoBar if I was a crusaders fan. Muppet.

NZR should have just left all the Barrett’s with the Hurricanes to deal with. Notwithstanding they can all be phenomenal players on their day, just they should have stayed at home to be a band of brothers.

maybe it was a scott robertson 5-d chess move/kobra kai sweep the leg tactic to keep him away from the oz teams?

Total fucking numbskull. Justin 180 Degrees of Wrong Marshill says "no intent" wFTTT, the ball was long gone and he lined the prick up and CLOCKED HIM.

Hodgman should press charges FFS.

Sotutu seemed to enjoy really fucking peoples shit up. Following the lead of The Captain, The Iron Horse. This needs to carry on at the next level up.

Perofuture went to pieces a bit

wft was BB DOING constantly kicking to Will Motherfucking Jordan in the last 20?

Fantastic D from Lam and Heem, holding pricks up in the tackle

Rieko running fuckers down in the corner. His sheer pace bails him out of a lot of defensive misreads. That prick he ran down and scragged right at the death in the corner saved the game.

TJ's latest mancrush Tom Christie got bits of his arse shoved up his own fucking arse.

 

[KiwiM]

What a game.

Feels surreal.

That felt like a playoff game.

Finally the streak is over.

Enormous performances from so many Blues. Lead from the front by the captain. Unlike the Crusaders captain.
