Stormers vs Blues

[MajorRage]

Blues option taking really impressing me from what I’ve seen. Regularly mixing up forward rumbles, going wide and midfield runs.

Keeping them pinned down in the stormers half.

[MajorRage]

Tuipulotu looks fucking massive.

[KiwiMurph]

Good shift from Pierce. Didn't look out of place.

[Dice]

Rieko not looking great at centre. I think we should just put him back at wing now and get Marchant at centre.

Yep shifted the point of attack and worked the blindside quite well too

Unfortunately he’s not looking quick enough to be playing on the wing at the moment

Someone just needs to tell him to stop the miracle bullshit and play to the pattern like everyone else.

He’s also going to ground too easily for a proper midfielder. Needs to work on holding his feet and driving his legs that fraction longer

[KiwiMurph]

Oh fuck here comes Ruru

[MajorRage]

Wouldn’t have taken that 3. Time pressure going to get to stormers more than 3 points

Although having said that, he’s made the most metres of anyone on the pitch.

That's the best game Nock has ever played.

He must be the new starting 9.

Organised. Decisive. Pretty accurate. Pretty much everything you want in your 9.

[Duluth]

He was mostly good. I wouldn’t call him decisive though

[antipodean]

The more I see of Sotutu, the more I say Akira who?

Compared to Ruru he fucking is!

[KiwiMurph]

Very good game from Otere.

Ballsy to take him off to be honest.

[junior]

The most impressive thing from the Blues today has been the fact it’s clear they got a good plan and they have mostly stuck to it. Stark contrast from a lot of the brainless, headless chook stuff we’ve seen from them over the years.

And as I write that Ruru has come on and completely fucked it all

[KiwiMurph]

@junior and Ruru comes on and looks like a brainless chook.
