SR Final: Crusaders v Jaguares

Bridge is like Jane under the high ball.

Very unCrusaders like with all these handling errors.

Now a bad throw.

That’ll help the nerves!

No one defused a bomb better than Upper Hutts favourite son ( honourable mention to the late Selwyn Toogood )

@Kirwan

That was good, wasn’t it?

Nicely worked forward try. Jags eventually pay the price for not playing finals football in their own 22.

Outstanding try, tight forwards exploiting the space and nailing the final pass. Great to see.

Matt Todd excellent.

How about that Superman by Bridge

That Crusaders box kick set-up is signalled by Morse code.

Great defence from the Crusaders.

Has a test match feel to it , game of inches

Kieran Reads workrate has been outrageous..!

Forwards scoring tries, backs holding up mauls. Seems these new age players can do it all.

Owen Franks giving the instructions in that break.

Yeah him and Todd have been everywhere. They move so well off the ball.

NZ rugby needs to find a Mike Cron equivalent to coach lineout throwing....

Nisbett and Marshall need to learn the laws. That was obviously not offside. It came off a Jag's player. FFS.

Sader lineout not ready for the throw.

Give a man rap and he makes a mistake,great game real intensity

Now the Crusaders dice with a poor exit option

Greedy Hag blows a try!!!

Bombed!

Oh no try gone begging!

Hungus Jaguares.

Greedy bastard , man on the inside

What an incredible offload that was

Wish we had a six like that.

Brilliant offload.

Hall and Havili with the try saver. Surprised he didn’t back himself to go around for the try.

Moroni should’ve scored there.

Eyes off the ball there...

off load looked slightly forward though...

Havilli has been bloody good in this half.

Too many errors from Crusaders

Nice end to the half for the Saders.

Pressure creating some uncharacteristic errors from the Crusaders. Credit to their D, they could easily be behind. Pretty gutsy play by the Crusaders, that 3 points could be the difference in the end.

brave end to teh hallf rewarded

Gutsy play from the Saders and gets rewarded with 3 points..
Really enjoyable contest ..Jaguaries still in this but have they got what it takes to stay in the contest when it gets deep into the game..?

Saders will be very happy with that lead at the half. Jags have been very competitive.

10 -3 at halftime. Fortune favours the brave there with the Crusaders ignoring the obvious ‘kick the damn thing out’ play on the hooter in their own 22. A deserved extra three points accordingly.

Love it. Take the game on and now we will be a converted try up
