School boys errors here from the Crusaders. Thats two penalties conceded directly from a restart.

Piutau attempts to run-back a lose kick but Reid smashes him back, Carter is straight over pressuring the ball and forces a penalty.

Got a feeling this is goin to be a cracker of a game!

Blues have another midfield scrum, some very uncharacteristic errors here from the Crusaders.

Great start from the Blues. After a mid field scrum 22m out, they are patient and build phases. Noakes sells a dummy to make a half break. Three phases later Weepu floats a skip pass out wide to Luatua to runs it in from 5m.

Brotherly love - George Whitelock wins the restart and Sam Whitelock seals off the ball, illegally though according to the ref!

After the Blues win a turn over on the ground, Carter works well at the net breakdown to win a penalty for holding on. This is his first kick of the 2013 season, easy as pie!

Great start last week from the blues...crusaders game has always been a big barometer of where they. Although with being the ultimate hot/cold team they could hammer the crusaders and then get 50 points put on them by the rebels or Kings!

The crusaders are coming to hurt the jafas. You beauty lol
