Blues vs Crusties live

 Hi Brycy, saders up by 3 in 3 minutes.
I will be off to work soon so won't see much of the game. Go Blues!

 Saders scrum dominant! Our SA mates should take note & tremble in fear

 Brycy, this one is ok:

 Penalt y Blues, kickable. Blues looking ok so far.

 ...Matt McGahan levels it 3 all

 3 all after 12 minutes.

...Fu kofu ko on for an injured Ellis 

 Saders scrum will make it a long day for the Blues. 10-3 saders.

...found a better link above ..see it's now 13 -3 to the Crusties

 ...Blues not the same without Visinia....not the game of running rugby I expected

We are not afraid of the pathetic Crusaders scrumming.  However, what should really worry the NZ teams is the fact that the Blues outscrummed the Highlanders and the Hurricanes is known for having a crinkle paper scrum.   The standard of scrumming is very poor in NZ and that should be a worrying factor for the NZ teams.
Thus far a really sleeping tonic game - I saw nothing of substance yet in the game.  The Crusaders have the forward domination - but they are weak in their backline and the y cannot use Nadolo to best advantage.     

 Umaga's hopefully learning that the rotation policy's bollocks . Faumaina on the bench watching  their scrum getting destroyed ............ ditto at hooker & halfback .
Ffs. always play your best team & introduce noobies later .

 ...Tana wanted to give everyone a run I think...still anyone's game despite the penalty count... a real scrappy game though - both teams cancelling each other out

 ...Crusties should've scored there ...Blues living dangerously

 ...Ioane still on the bench - thought he'd be playing Sevens in Vegas which starts in about four hours I think

 ...Ihaia West closes the gap 13 - 6

 Mo'unga kicks another 16 -6...and the Blues kick the restart out on the full..

...Good try to Kieren Reid  started by bulldozing run by Nadolo 

 ...Nadolo to star on Smas h em bro

 Currently 21 -6. Crusties lead ...Ranger has been subbed

 ...Tivita Li scores out wide for the Blues after an attacking scrum

 21 - 13

 Intercept try Mo'unga...28 - 13...

 Still a load of crap - still no try-scoring bonus point for any NZ team.  have they lost the ability to score tries?  

 ...not so clever mike, no bonus points indicates there is no easy games in our conference compared to yr conference with the likes of easybeats Kings and Sunwolves...you should be accruing bonus points every game against those teams...  

Should be a four try bonus point and a margin of victory bonus point, or just left it at a four try bonus.
