    Christie will still start but at least we have a clear backup now. Funaki has shown he can be trusted.

    One criticism I have of Cotter is he hasn’t trusted the sub halfback in tight games. It’ll help Christie too if he gets subbed the same time most halfbacks do

    Probably the big thing for him to work on is box kick exits. If he can develop a good kicking game then he will be a valuable player.

    Pretty clinical performance from the Blues.

    Completely dominated the contact areas.

    Only concern is they spent a long time down their own end in the 2nd 40, they had opportunities to get out but they just couldn’t.
    Good sides will make them pay for that.

    @Gunner Exits are still a work-on, especially without Sullivan there.

    Perofeta's punting has really developed too

    Sullivan was said to be out for six to eight weeks, so maybe back for Rebels or Hurricanes.

    @Gunner In fairness, thats what happens when the subs get rolled out and most teams spend their fair share of time on d when the result is beyond doubt.

    I'm very impressed that we didn't concede a try when we could easily have because of the game situation.

    Not disputing it was a great defensive effort, but if we’re being picky… good sides will score a lot more than 3 points if they’re given as much field position as the Force were given tonight.

    Am way behind (3 mins into 2nd half), as usual, but am liking Funaki, and injecting him into the potential All Black debate.

    Cotter said Darry should be back for the Brumbies and Zarn maybe 2 weeks after that.
