    Walsh and Renata have struggled at scrum time.

    disappointing final 15, but the Blues had done the job already, and presently sit atop of the table.

    @taniwharugby I was impressed with our attitude on defence personally. Good to see us not let in easy tries at the end.

    It's funny how one penalty kick from Otere Black on the bell against the Bulls can do confidence wise. If he missed then we'd probably be in our usual spot of 12th. or something. Better enjoy this rich vein of form while it lasts haha, you never know when it could turn to custard for us again.

    @African-Monkey oh yeah the defence was great, especially on thier line, but was more they had the opportunity to really put them to the sword and didnt/couldnt take it, but I guess this team is still realising it's potential...nek minut no more games.

    @taniwharugby Oh yeah I get your point, but I'll take a 43-10 win any day of the week even if we could have put more on them. I guess it won't matter as it looks like the season will be called off haha.

    Back from the game, and absolutely stoked with the team, and for the team and wider coaching group. These boys look fantastic; it's been a long time coming, but they are finally starting to play some proper rugby. What's really noticeable is the rugby nous - they've stiffened the defence and make good decisions consistently. Not perfect, and a lot of work to do, but an absolute pleasure to watch.

    Fun to watch, left about six trys out there that on another day we could have scored.

    Most pleasing thing for me is the tackles around the legs dropping people, felt like hardly any were missed.

    @KiwiMurph @Tim Bevan Dewar is the main caller.

    He was really good.

    Karl T in doubt for next week. Papalii failed his HIA. Pierce may have a hand injury.

    @Bones 22 years old. This is his second year of Super Rugby, but the first year he's gotten game time. Last year was his first real season of NPC, and he's played 8 games.

    Great coaching.

    Blues playing with a lot more width and freedom. The defensive system is really coming along and that is building the confidence in attack.

    Duffy looks a different player and when he comes into the line as a playmaking option he’s making better decisions.
