        A much better effort from Rieko tonight - involved, physical and accurate

              Pretty yuck game.

              Canes back to no shape at all on attack and BB back to playing like a debutante with no idea about options and the occasional glimpse of skill.

              Actual footage of BB kicking.

                    Absolutely huge call to have Tangitau come off… that has to be injury related

                    Don't think he was even playing.

                            I think it was his last game he looked mostly accomplished as a super rugby player.

                              The Blues kicked off this season largely disregarding the attacking DNA they developed en route to the title last season, but are now rediscovering that playstyle.

                              Having set the tone in 2024 by carrying a competition-high 135 times per game, the Blues managed to top that number tonight with some devastating pick-and-go rugby. You know when Finlay Christie steps back from the action that play is about to get physical, and that’s exactly what happened at Eden Park.

                              The Blues chewed through 139 carries against the Hurricanes and had some of their best moments of the season with the ball in hand.

                                        Kick from hand metres was 973 vs 654.

                                        Barrett's kicking game was strong. He's obviously being practising the banana kick during his injury break

                                          Blues playing a lot more narrow than the Canes.

                                          I thought the Blues attempted to go wide early.. however the way the game is being refereed with relaxed offside lines and easy turnovers it doesn't make sense to go wide unless there is a mismatch
