Loving the patience of this Crusaders performance tonight.

he was on his knee then bounced but never released the ball

@gt12 Read has been everywhere in this game..Todd has been next level in terms of workrate ..

Saders lucky there, Taufua a miiiiile offfside

Should have been a penalty for holding on. Marshall is talking shit.

Love Drummond's heart there. Diving at the ball with a winger charging forward looking to toe it on.

If Keith Quinn was still in commentary it’d be ”the Jaguares must score next to get back inside the six [seven] point gap!”

Shut up Marshall! The replay showed the hags player on the ground clearly not releasing...

Marshall, bro, learn the rules. So Matt wins the turnover yet the Jags player keeps his hands on the ball and is on the ground.

That is a penalty.

Saders saved by about a coat of paint there

And it was a big leg swing at that.

Jaguares have got their second wind now. Crucial phase for the Crusaders to hang on through that period.

3 clear cut chances the Jaguaries have had ..number expected 0

Reminded me of Ben Blair not doing that in 2004 and giving the Brumbies a perfect start.

You can take a man out from halfback, but not the halfback out from the man...

Ennor off. He's looked good with ball in hand but I don't think he's look ready to be a starting centre.

saders wing in front of the kicker there

Jordan to fullback and Havili to 2nd 5

Kick to secure the win 7 minutes from time.

Jags have had their chances but the Saders have been pretty clinical overall.

@gt12 Classic crusaders rub of the green

Mo’unga all but seals it.

Great kick, game set and match.

Would someone like to hold onto the ball please? You have it, no you have it

What a boring game and comp. Saders win again. Maybe time to spread the talent.

They're up by 16 points. Why are they just running the clock down? Seems very negative to me.

19 - 3 deserved winners. The Crusaders machine kicked in midway through the first half after the Hags fired shots early and came up empty handed.

Three-peat!

Well done Crusaders. Only one team in that final, squeezed the life out of them.

Looking forward to the Robertson breakdance.

I thought that was a great game of rugby. If you thought it was boring, give the World Cup a miss.

Great defensive effort , probably not a game to get overly excited by , but they have been great this season , best team by some margin

best team won, nothing boring about that.

Jags worthy finalists, maybe lacked a bit of big game experience at crucial times.

Well done, the Crusaders. Enjoy!

Ruthless, awesome stuff.

@sparky Did the job well against a good opponent. Pleased with that.

Proud of the team.

Hard fought win. Well done both sides who played an almost test like match.

Jags a fantastic season. Saders big names really stepped up - Read, Todd, Whitelock, Mo’unga (goal kicking), Franks.

Meh. Crusaders win. Boring game. Sick of Canterbury rugby. Spread the talent.

Nothing boring or unfair about the best team winning. You might not like the Crusaders' dominance. They are not my franchise of choice either.

But, my God, I respect the job Razor and co. have done since Todd Blackadder left.

Great win Crusaders stoked with that
Jags were awesome very good side
Pretty sure they will win a title over the next few years
Great to see some of the AB’s doing the hard yards bodes well for WC

Yeah. The Jaguares were great with ball in hand too, just missing the final pass.

The difference between the final canes semi final was really just that both teams in the final were on their games defensively.

In cricket terms this was 240 being chased down on a tricky pitch, last week was chasing 350 on a flat deck.
