10 minutes gone. No score yet but Taylor is lining up a PK from 40 metres out. Should be 3 -0 to the Saders but he does a Blyendall and drops it short. The wind is behind the Canterbury team.

Not enough Whitelocks playing for them tonight.
FFS so why pick Slade?

Try Crusaders, Ellis to Read, feeds Flynn, Classic hooker's try in the corner - kick goes over, 7 - 0. Great tactical miss from Taylor to set up the try lol

25 minutes gone. Crusaders have scored meat and lead 10-3 1T, 1C, 1PK vs 1PK.

Tons of penalties so far - 10 against AUK, 3 against CAN.

Taylor just misses his second PK (a double Blyendall?).

Scrappy play. The Acme Thunderer is getting a fair workout.

The ref is doing a good job of fucking the Blues over so far.....

....and the Blues line-out making sure they stay pretty fucked :(

Interesting comments from Piri there at half time. I think he's spot-on but I wonder if he'll get in any trouble for them.

Highly entertaining game. The Blues have some good reserves to help get then home.

They say the game is won and lost in the 10 minutes either side of 1/2 time, and if so, Surgeon Kirwan's team have this wrapped up. 4 tries in 15 minutes - two either side of oranges.

Blues making Cru look ordinary.

50 minutes gone. Blues lead 29 - 17 after Cru lead 17-15 at half time.

Bigger comeback than Lazarus by the blues. Going to fuck up my tipping, but hope they can go on with it.

Join the club. I've tipped the Whitelocks and Their Friends to win by 10 points. <cringe>.

Imagine what the Blue boys will be like when J Kaino joins them.

Edit. 56 minutes gone: Blues 32 Cru 17.

WTF? I turn my back for no more than an hour & 7 - zip becomes 17 - 32 with less than 20 to go, glad I didn't trade shifts again to watch it.

YEEEEEEHAAAAAA!!!! NICE WORK BOYS!!

2014 - year of THE BLUES!! WOOHOO!!
Ah fuck, please tell me we at least salvaged a 4-try bonus point? & is it too early to demand that someone be publicly flogged. Anyhoo, congrats Blues & supporters thereof, if you need me I'll be drinking beer& possibly sulking a little.

Wifey says I should htfu, princess. Easy for her to say, she's from Chiefs country.
