Blues/Chiefs/Highlanders game of 3 halves
-
The depth in the Blues is a big step down from the starting 23 isn't it?
-
Real lack of cohesion in the blues.
-
Just watched and I think Ioane and Lowe made big ground over Gatland and ENS. Still wonder about Kaylum Boshier as a 7.
I liked the way Roe set up his backline. I just don't think the Gatland & Ratima combo works that well.
Frustrating number of penalties given away. Liked the work of Selby Rickett and of T Telea.
-
Gee 2 passes and advantage usually over.

I think it will be ENS and Lowe on the wings.

He wasn't getting much protection at the back of the ruck at times. McMillan kept the same halfback-1st 5 combos across both pre-season games. We never saw Ratima and Ioane.

Norris seemed to have the upper hand against Josh Hohneck - I think he has, at the very least, secured a spot on the bench for the first game.
Ethan de Groot also destroyed his opposite, though I think it was just Tevita Langi - so maybe not too impressive.
