Bloody good game, the refs are useless.
Yeah, unhappy to watch an AB milk a penalty with a Hollywood. Poor.
I know, thought Ofa was better than that.
Very droll. We don’t want rugby to end up like soccer, so should have been play on when Smith pretended to trip.
Well then the blues shouldn't push so hard in scrums. Milking penalties like that, atrocious and unfair!
It's not the Blues fault that they're aren't good enough actors to make the Highlanders look at least semi competent at scrummaging
Well the other teams have done a fairly good job at it. Obviously blues heavily influenced by Auckland cheating ways.

@Bones Yeah, he was good early last year on it. Part of maturing as a player (and getting fitter overall) is balancing the roles. He's doing more cleanouts, so is getting to rucks early.
He's just so fucken scary strong and solid. Starting trio of him, Cane and Frizzel could really hurt some oppo.

I would like to see the Blues make a play for Peter Umaga Jensen given the Canes have Billy Proctor locked up for another 3 years..would like to see another big midfielder in the mix..
That Reiko Clarke combo is starting to really look slick now though.
Injury cover would be good so we can rotate and cover when people go down.
That’s still the Blues weakness. Our top 22 can beat anyone, but the squad depth isn’t as good as the Crusaders still.

Oh hey, great to see Joane back. Forgot how bloody good he is.
That long pass to the winger in the first half was beautiful
Just his ability to create space and get the team moving forward is invaluable.
Lucky @Kiwiwomble wasn't around to see my posts about him in his first season though.

@Tim always makes me laugh how there is always one player who has to point toward the posts for someone when they are running in a try

Sio did very little other than a cheap shot, Walden next week? Saving him for the crusaders...smart
-
@Kiwiwomble saving him for his next super franchise more like.

Walden is Jesus.
In that it seems he never actually existed.

It's a pretty advanced concept. You can't expect every player to understand it so they have to help each other out.

When your goal kicker is beauden it really is important.

Ioane is the best number 8 in NZ with Sotutu out. Big game today. A bit more confidence on attack would be great.
Akira Ioane is a beast. Hope Foz manages him better than Hansen did.
That wasn't Hansen's fault.
Akira just wasn't up to standard, but now he looks as if he is getting there. -

Maybe it’s the Mandela effect 🤔

Just ask the coaches.
