    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.

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

              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..

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

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

                  All Black team selected a week early.

                    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

                            @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

                              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

                                  Pumped for 80 mins. Never in it.

                                  Crusader Class is pretty fucking awesome to watch.

                                    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.
