@KiwiMurph 9 points available not taken in an arm wrestle

It’s honestly so stupid. Could be 19-15/12.

The forward back is being beaten to a pulp and they still go for the pick and go

[Yeetyaah]

Geez Codie absolutely giving it to Anton

[KiwiMurph]

You can't just add 3s from earlier in the game to the score

The game changes following a 3 as there is a restart at halfway

[Bones]

Fucking hell blues. Max yuck.

[Gunner]

Blues are a hard watch.

To be fair this is a carbon copy of almost every time they play in Chch at this ground

@KiwiInLondon ..beggars belief
The crazy thing is if there was only 3 points in this I would bet dollars to doughnuts they would be taking the shot

How is that crazy? Down 3 vs down 12 is totally different

[Darth Sader]

Blues not accumulating points when on offer and drifting out of touch

Blues have effectively dug their own grave though. Just needed to stay in touch in these conditions... they have not looked like scoring a try all night. Crusaders will always give enough penalties to stay in the game. Now they are forced to chase the game.

[Steven Harris]

Finally they work out getting one of your better ball carriers up against a thinly defended area

[KiwiMurph]

but they should have taken the 3.....

[Bones]

Sotutu outplays the entire crusaders loose trio

Blues have accumulated 7 and are now well in touch.

Finally!

Made hard work of that!

Everyone does that from a free kick. Duh

[Landers92]

Bit of ruck watching from Newell there as well at running into the posts. The big fella is gassed. Good work Hoskins

[frugby]

I will say, Sotutu has been good tonight.

They have been down 7 to start the game

Then down 7 at halftime

Then down 12 early second half

They need tries
