NZ Barbarians U21 v Blues U20

[Bovidae]

[Duluth]

Good defence from the Blues in the first 5mins

[Bovidae]

Te Rama Reuben is the Baabaas no.18.

[Duluth]

Pace from Tito-Harris creates a long range try

20-12 to the Blues at 30mins

Playing into the wind

[Duluth]

25-19 Blues at halftime. Good competitive half

Baabaas have some big powerful runners in close. Blues getting the edge in most areas, they look a lot better in phase play

The wind seems significant

[Duluth]

Nice run and offload by Kobe Walters.

30-19

That was against the run of play. Baabaas have had loads of ball this half. Accuracy and set piece is letting them down

[Bovidae]

The Blues look so dangerous on turnover ball.

[Duluth]

Che Clark somehow gets over the line. Looks like he would be tackled 5m out but he kept fighting

44-26

A couple of cards in this half against the Blues. Too aggressive at the breakdown.

[Duluth]

Final score 51-26

Impressive score after the Baabaas beat the Crusaders in the weekend

Blues into the final against the Canes or Highlanders

[Bovidae]

The breakdown was a mess in this game. The same when this ref did a Rd 1 game.

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth shaped to kick and then the great following line by the prop

[Duluth]

@taniwharugby

He went well yesterday. He’s been asked to play out of position because there’s injuries at lock

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth yeah he certainly aint tall enough for lock, but has the skills and workrate.

See him make similar sorts of breaks/runs at club level most weeks, with these games he wont be there for the opening round of club rugby this weekend.
