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.

Also...

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

Make up your mind man!

One team did it well, the other ended up in touch on their own 22!

Why replace Hall..?hes been outstanding..!

Saders starting to get over the gain line a lot easier

Yes, love the quick tap!

Jaguares saved that one well.

looked like he was on a crusader leg

How long has Razor been saving that one for I wonder. Beautiful deception. Jaguares equal to it though.
Been a great final so far.

Strange decision to go for three .

I was about to say penalty try coming up but they're kicking the goal!

The days of the “strong Argentinian scrum” have gone the way of dial-up internet.

Popped him

A few concerns for the jags in that last passage before the held up try , for the first time crusaders were going straight through them

@akan004 strange in the context of the last 5, but right call for the game

Don’t mind the penalty kick.

Hags look like they’re losing patience with ball in hand.

Their ten is having a bad game. He's a good player too.

second one of those off-loads of Materas that looks to have gone forward out of hand

They are lookin a bit rattled

Not the looker that last week's game was, but effective Grand finals Rugby by the Crusaders so far. No one will give a rat's gentials about the performance if Razor is breakdancing ten minutes after the final whistle.

Dam wall about to break

Jaguares maybe tiring here. Crusaders sensing they're ahead andjjust looking to rack up points and get back on attack.

16 - 3 to Crusaders after 60 minutes.

Saders are grinding them into the ground.

End of Owen Franks' Super Rugby career. One of the greats.

Jags will have to chance their arm now, and will likely be punished. Jags looked good early, but the Crusaders have slowly but surely gone through the gears on them.

Watching Read make a tackle, hit the ground, roll once, then jump back up again to make another tackle is really making me feel much better as an AB fan.

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.
