Try Richie Mo’unga, Saders?
TMO
Definately not a conventional try… lost it.
But there was a high tackle, as far as I am concerned….
Referee happy with the tackle too…
So, only a Blues defensive scrum, 5m from the Blues line.
Blues shot at goal…. from about the 10m line…
Crusaders 13 / 6 Blues
Saders very kickable penalty, advancing in front of the kicker.
Crusaders 16 / 6 Blues
Very little zip in the game…
19 Minutes to go….
I think with the Crusaders leading by so far on the overall Log, they are in danger of becoming their own worst enemies…
Their standard of play has dropped and they are just doing enough to win this game.
It could become a pattern… and when the eventual crunch is on in the Play-Off Rounds, it could come back to bite them….
Turnover Blues scrum….
Blues penalty, on the Saders 10m line.
Kicked out 19m out.
10 Minutes to go…. the deficit is also 10.
Try Rieko Ioane, Blues, far left corner.
TMO
Try stands…
Crusaders 16 / 11 Blues
8 Minutes left to play
Saders penalty at goal…
Crusaders 19 / 11 Blues
1 Minute to go…
Blues scrum Free Kick…. quick tap.
Saders penalty advantage…. and penalty it is.
Man over the ball, holding on.
Tapped and hacked out for the win.
Crusaders (13) 19 / 11 (3) Blues (Final Score)
So, a Crusaders win, no bonus point…. and the Blues do not get ANY Log Points.
