    The Blues concede the match didn't go their way in the 21-14 Super Rugby semi final loss to the Crusaders in Christchurch

    The Blues concede the match didn't go their way in the 21-14 Super Rugby semi final loss to the Crusaders in Christchurch


    The Crusaders will entertain the Chiefs or Brumbies next week after absorbing eight minutes worth of Blues attack at the end of the semi-final, denying them extra time.

    Among the issues Blues coach Vern Cotter had to juggle was two yellow cards and hooker Ricky Riccitelli forced to switch to loosehead prop.

    Cotter says there was a lot of disruption.
