    Blues got the ball to the outsides for the first time in a while. Someone scored down the right flank. Couldn’t spot the number .. maybe Hyland again?

    Scoreboard says 26-19 Blues now

    Think I had it wrong earlier. Oops

    The starting tight 5 in the Highlanderd game Hodgman, Parsons, Tuungafasi, Scrafton, Tuioti should be the Blues Starters. Tana can't afford to tinker around with his starting pack, they played well Pauliasi Manu needs to come off the bench. I like Pat T off the bench for impact. Whatever happens at half time the Tana and his Coaches need to change the script for two in a row the boys come out flat. The Team is good enough, it is not about mindset it is all about strategy.

    @kiwimurph so Ruru to start, Nock to watch off the bench, but based on the way Tana selects, I expect Nock to get the nod.

    Just saw on Instagram that the Blues were sitting in a hot plane somewhere and were melting without airco for (at least) two hours before taking off.

    It’s not his fault. There’s an external excuse for Tana’s selections

    Sorry I mean T’s selections (that what the cool kids call him)

    I understand from Ruru's instagram that the Blues can't leave NZ today and that they've been told to come back (to the airport) tomorrow. Awful start to their African tour. To think they have to play the best SA team on Saturday (SA time)!

    Herald claiming, based on seemingly nothing, that Nock will start:

    Sam Nock, 21, will now be the starting No9 for the Blues on their tour of South Africa where they play the Stormers and Lions, two teams who would be tough enough for Tana Umaga's side as it was.

    Anyone know who made the Blues Travelling Squad to South Africa? Hoping that Rurr and Perofeta made the trip it, prefer Ruru over Nock and Perofeta can provide the spark in the 2nd half when Gatland has a tendency to go flat.

    Thank you, I had missed your post. That's a relief with Ruru making the squad hopefully he starts.
