    The Blues are hard to watch. Too many dumb decisions. Thank god, they have a number of players who have stepped up : Papali'i, BB, Sotutu, Ioane and Lam when he came on. Funaki did well too.

    It's not like they lack experienced leadership. Baffling.

      There’s been some very average defence in this year’s competition but the Force were abysmal tonight

            Don't select him next week. You make that sort of a fuck up, you deserve to be dropped.

            The young 12 did some good things but should be dropped for that hungus when Rieko would have scored. The Blues just can't afford to have that sort of dipshittery.

            He’ll pay for that on Monday, BUT the kid actually has some nous, and Rieko looked much better for having someone inside him who knew what to do.

              Much better 2nd half after a flattering 1st half score line
              Scrum was superb and dominant through the 80 minutes
              BB showing some excellent vision
              Happy with the win but some of the decisions individuals make in the moment beggars belief but that final play was next level madness

                    Only 6000 people turned up for this. Pathetic numbers, in any circumstances, for a city of 1.8 million people.

                    The Blues need to play more games in Whangārei. Auckland's a league and a soccer city these days.

                            Lol TJ used to shoot his load every time Mo'unga touched the ball. Ginormous Crusaders fan-boy and subsequently cannot stand to see the Blues do well. Like @Bones we are not Blues fans, just neutral observers.

                              People that don't watch the Blues are going to lose their shit when Beauden gets selected at 10 against France, even though that selection would be form based. After a slow start he is really playing with confidence again, the cross kick for the try (and also the second try that was botched by the winger) was exactly the kind of vision we plead for our 10s to have. Very classy stuff.

                                Weather wasn't great this week.

                                Am pretty certain they'd get bigger crowds on Saturday, particularly afternoon.

                                And it was the Force.

                                But they've got to do something about attracting crowds.

                                  The force were only in the game for the first 30 because of Barrett's "vision". DMac has been doing it all season. Good backup though if he can produce his second half form consistently, rather than shit the bed mostly with infrequent bursts of old BB.

                                    I thought the first 30 Barrett was stuffed by his own back 3, they were rubbish. He was lone ranger covering backfield, so no support generally, and having to kick downfield continually.

                                      People that don't watch the Blues are going to lose their shit when Beauden gets selected at 10 against France, even though that selection would be form based. After a slow start he is really playing with confidence again, the cross kick for the try (and also the second try that was botched by the winger) was exactly the kind of vision we plead for our 10s to have. Very classy stuff.

                                          Only 6000 people turned up for this. Pathetic numbers, in any circumstances, for a city of 1.8 million people.

                                          The Blues need to play more games in Whangārei. Auckland's a league and a soccer city these days.

                                          Weather wasn't great this week.

                                          Am pretty certain they'd get bigger crowds on Saturday, particularly afternoon.

                                          And it was the Force.

                                          But they've got to do something about attracting crowds.

                                          @booboo Auckland has a similar amount of rainfall in a year to Cardiff and a bit more than Manchester which I think is why eventually they will need to build a stadium with a roof in Auckland.
