Hurricanes vs Blues

Lol Christie

[antipodean]

Finlay Christie must be the shittest professional rugby player I've ever seen.

How the fuck did this ginger fluffybunny become an All Black?

[Tim]

Scrappy as hell.

[Machpants]

Good by ioane for once

What is going on, why are there ads in the middle of a fucking rugby game?

Not on sky sport now

Oh, thanks.

My son put it on, just assumed he’d put it on the usual channel…

Switched over and now back live

[KiwiMurph]

Christie again

[Machpants]

Keystone cops

[Mattasaurus]

Big step down from the earlier game...

[KiwiMurph]

Blues are gonna lose another here to a yellow if they aren't careful

[Darren]

Christie and BB along with Godfrey and Lakai are keeping the Canes in it.

[Canes4life]

Godfrey is having a game. Coming of age for him tonight.

[Tim]

There was a Barrett inside ball that was painfully slow.

[antipodean]

How hard is it for the leadership group in the Blues to tell everyone else to take an extra step so you aren't offside?

[Machpants]

Losing but feel like we're winning

[frugby]

People just want to blame Barrett. Christie and the overall discipline of the forwards are way bigger issues.

All of the above are to blame.

I'm sorry, if you have watched that half and thought Beauden Barrett was legitimately an issue, then you've got serious unconscious bias

The delivery from Christie was abysmal, and the ill-discipline, particularly from a senior player like Tu'ungafasi was way below par.

Barrett didn't do much either way, though has looked positive in attempting to run the ball.

Christie is the worst element of the Blues. Just when they have some semblance of momentum, up steps the ginger midget to fuck it and place them under pressure again.

Speaks volumes about the Blues coaching group that they keep selecting him.

[KiwiMurph]

Blues have only scored 7 second half points (rolling maul try) in two second halves combined after leading both of their first games at halftime

[Canes4life]

Canes just need to keep their discipline. Playing some good footy, just need to be a bit more patient. A couple of soft tries we let in, need to tighten up a bit.
