Shut up Marshall! The replay showed the hags player on the ground clearly not releasing...
SR Final: Crusaders
Match thread
Jaguares
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.

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

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.
Kick to secure the win 7 minutes from time.
Jags have had their chances but the Saders have been pretty clinical overall.
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!
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.
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

I thought that was a great game of rugby. If you thought it was boring, give the World Cup a miss.
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.
The Saders completely changed their tactics after the first 25 minutes,the decision not to play rugby in their own half was very smart..they stuck to a very good kicking game, and applied pressure at scrum time.
The Jaguaries were worthy opponents and finalists but you have got to take your chances..it’s a shame this game was not played in the afternoon..
I thought Read,Whitelock and Todd especially were outstanding in the forwards.
In the backs ,Mounga’s goal kicking was superb..liked the work of Bridge and Havili at the back but I thought their best back was Bryn Hall..
Really good final,with test match intensity..good luck to all the Saders heading off shore..!

Crusaders deserved to win
Jaguares were the better team but when you bomb 2 tries + don't kick a penalty 40m out 15m from touch you deserve to lose
Crusaders were functional and did enough to win & were clinical when they got a chance
Diaz Bonilla chose a bad time to have his worst game of the season - 2nd half was utter filth
WTF Moroni was doing for Crusaders try + his actions for the bombed try were negligent
I'm pissed off a game the Jaguares could have won, they let slip with bad decision making and execution
Awesome win and great to get the 3-peat. Had the feel of a test match (a test match in heavy rain).
Jags had their chances but spent long periods just kicking the ball away in good position. Due mostly to great defence.
Loved Mounga’s goal kicking.
I hope those kiwis that wanted a jags win enjoy those sour grapes.
