    @Chester-Draws It's a catch 22 - with it tough to win games with mediocre 10s.

    At least Umaga has a plan with talented youngsters in the pipeline - that's the way to do it.

    Canes A on attack after an early penalty.

    Blues forwards defend two 5m mail attempts and a few rucks a couple of metres out. Then Ranger gets stepped in midfield

    7-0

    Loads of errors from both sides

    Ranger penalised for hands, ref was clearly telling him to disengage

    Blues A defend the maul again but a soft try a couple of phases later to the no 8

    19-0

    Half time 21-19

    Quality of both sides play much better in the 2nd quarter

    Vaega looks dangerous and Gatland continues to improve

    @Duluth Great to hear about Vaega.

    He looked sharp in his 2016 Super Rugby appearances, and had good NPC. Hope to see him get some game time soon.

    @Whites72

    He's done lots of good work on defence, really accurate. Not much phase play in this game though
