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

@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

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.....

Sotutu outplays the entire crusaders loose trio

Blues have accumulated 7 and are now well in touch.

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

[KiwiMurph]

Blackadder knock on

Fuck he is average

[Bones]

What's with the commentary volume dipping significantly at every restart?

And they could be in front if they took all their opportunities. 2 tries for all that possession and territory is woeful. They blues are tactically incompetent

The Blues might win this, but I think the percentage option earlier when they were down by 7 was to take the three. Chasing the game away from home against the team currently top doesn't generally work.

Sliding doors is a decent movie.

[DMack]

@frugby could be a great All Black but won’t be.

[Machpants]

Y they need tries... Or lots of penalty goals

It's not tactical incompetence it's average attack and poor execution
