Compare the clearance by Christie before to that one by Roigard

Night and day

Tim

Dog shit exit from Christie. Again, cannot give the Canes chances like that.

Poor kick by Cam. Execution blows right now

KiwiMurph

Segner is having a poor game

KiwiMurph

Just as an aside - whether its Fehi or someone else - Rennie's going to have to have another plan at 11 - Caleb cannot be trusted to string games together

Aumua is a terror carrying the ball

Bones

Those skills in the lineout by Dearns.

Disgusting

Bones

Blues have the Taele quintuplets out there. Good spot Nisbo

Loves passing been off tonight

Love and Harkin been a bit poor tonight.

KiwiMurph

Moorby has been mud

Tim

That was better than I expected. A bit of physicality on defence.

Blues putting in a better shift than the crusaders.

Yeetyaah

Oh please get up Blues

Blues playing their best ball of the last month. We'll see if Laidlaw's team have learned anything from the past two seasons.

Some players not helping their AB chances!?

Haven't read the entire thread, but is everyone comfortable with Roigard faking injury and then gaining an advantage from it? I am not sure how I feel about it.

Thought that was very dicey. Ref should've brought everyone back.

Tim

@Crazy-Horse I missed it, but my Chiefs supporting relative sure wasn't happy about it.

Yes

ABs need more shithouse-ery

Shows the old truism that play off games count.

People talked up all year fade under pressure, others step up.

Canes have to slow down, do the basics. The Blues D is strong, but we don't need to resort to miracle balls, just be patient and break them down

Mr Fish

This match feels a bit like a T1 v T2 game.

Blues scoring a couple of easy tries and Hurricanes making some uncharacteristic errors but still feels like the Canes could run away with it quite easily if they buckle down.

Reminds me of old school England vs AB games

@canefan yea I think we need to play up more, other teams do it to thier advantage, you need to take every chance you get, if you get away with it, who cares?

canefan

Christie off for HIA now. And Delaney

Tim

Christie seemed to be appealing for something when he came out of a ruck.

McCaw always played on the edge or just over

For all the plaudits Dearns and Delany have won this year, it's been Patty who has dominated of all the locks.

Another Canes attack from a poor Blues kick
