Definately not a conventional try… lost it.

But there was a high tackle, as far as I am concerned….

grootblousmile on 25 May 2019 at 10:48 am

Referee happy with the tackle too…

So, only a Blues defensive scrum, 5m from the Blues line.
34

grootblousmile on 25 May 2019 at 10:54 am

Blues shot at goal…. from about the 10m line…

Saders very kickable penalty, advancing in front of the kicker.

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….

grootblousmile on 25 May 2019 at 11:07 am

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.

Saders penalty advantage…. and penalty it is.

Man over the ball, holding on.
