Not at their best, but I'm sure the Canes will happily take the bonus point win and move on.

Chiefs vs Rebels kicking off shortly in Hamilton.

Reckon this game could be a banana skin for the hosts.

Blues vs Saders coming up in 20 minutes.

Looking forward to seeing Zarn Sullivan coming back off the bench after such a long absence. The Blues have scored a grand total of 3 second-half points in their last two games... not a habit they want to let take hold.

I simply can't imagine the Saders being 1-3 after tonight. Just doesn't compute.

Saders by 12.

I wonder if the ref thought about a penalty try there, a yellow card offence on the tryline.

Blues down to 13? Back to the bad old days of discipline?

{EDIT} Now showing 1 yellow. :crazy:

Ref got that turnover so wrong. There was Crusader player laying on top of the ball and Christie couldn't clear it.

Fabulous defense and turnover by the good guys, then RMo picks out Fainga'anuku on the left wing who runs 80m for super try

Worrying when you make Faiangaanuku look good.

How is Christie an AB?

Clarke was so slow and hesitant in cover defence then. If he'd put in more effort he would've been much closer to the action.

Ref showing Enzed that he is not biased for the Crusaders

EDIT: I have never seen a YC dished out then overturned

If that had been Dupont at SH, both those Clarke breaks were trys.

That is how to defend against an attacking 5m lineout

Helped by Blues opting for their greatest weakness v the Saders' strength! Mad decision making.

Getting very fractured now which should suit the Blues. Blues would be so much better with Perofeta at FH. When BB does bother to run these days, it's all hesitant and sideways.

Yeah. Gotta admire a player who puts in that much effective effort every game without ever looking flash or becoming vocal.

Probably disintegrated

The Advantage is weird -- the Blues lose the ball over the line so surely they had got sufficient advantage

Only saw the 2nd half but what a game.

That last move summed up the diff: Blues just lacking the precision needed too often.

He got very ragged there for a while. Don't want him anywhere near the ABs this year.
