Is it just me or is Akira's absence noticeable..?

If only captain combover could elucidate me on what he wasn't doing effectively.

Not allowed to say that.....

Ill say it .. akira wasn't good enough for the Abs

The question is about him being missed by the Blues.

[Yeetyaah]

Red card

If that's the standard given how Akira played for the ABs then about 70% of the current squad have the same issue

I wouldn't disagree with that either.... I simply do not thin akira ever lived up to the hype / potential ( and he is not the only one in that category)

It's a shame as just when it looked like he'd got the mental side of things right and really matured as a player, we got two one-eyed Cantabs in charge unwilling to give him a go. But let's not get distracted from a cracking match

Tavatavanawai unbelievable leader for this team

If he could do this at international level, he'd be a sensational bench man

To be fair, they're missing their established All Blacks.

Hope Funaki isn't too bad. Rough way to go out

[mariner4life]

Lol i was actually taught to clean out much like that (except not off feet) to smash the arms and break the grip on the ball.

Rugby was so different even 20 years ago

[Mattasaurus]

Rugby is a mess

Sorry, slow here tonight

[Mattasaurus]

Blues surely can't lose it from here against 13 men

[Steven Harris]

@Mattasaurus with many of us , but not the people that count

[KiwiMurph]

Wtf was Christie doing there?

We had penalty advantage
