Moana Pasifika v Blues

[Canes4life]

Ardie is insane. Fuck you all that ever thought he wasn’t AB level. He’s on another planet.

[sparky]

And Ardie Savea wins the game for MP.

Great turnover.

[antipodean]

Well done Moana, deserved victory off the back of an outstanding effort from Ardie playing at openside.

[Mattasaurus]

hey lets play Ardie at 8 for the ABs .. theres a good idea...

[Canerbry]

Great win for Auckland's best team, looked liked issues finishing might undo them, but no, the Blues were determinized to lose.

Ardie.

Jesus where did Ardie come from for that turnover!

Why the Blues went back towards him is a great question.

[Tim]

Blues need a backline coach.

Yeah they might have been better served going round the corner.

[Canes4life]

Blues almost gone now you’d think with the Bye next week.

[Victor Meldrew]

Sensational performance from Ardie. And let's not forget his captaincy and leadership.

Be interesting to see if Robertson sees him as his 7.

[Steven Harris]

@Tim a change of head coach as well there style is boring as bat shit worked last year when the Aussie teams and Canterbury were weak but he needed to come up with a new trick
Being at the game MP were far more creative

[Tim]

@African-Monkey Why they didn't use Sotutu and Clarke off that scrum ...

MP have the Chiefs and Canes. I don't think they will win either game so the Blues probably just have to beat the Tahs at home and they are through.

Well he’s a moron if he doesn’t see him as a 7 after that.

He's the form openside running around NZ. Razor would have to be brain damaged not to play him there on this form.

I wouldn’t count them out after that performance. Moana will also be keen to beat every NZ team this year so they will be up for it.

[Bovidae]

Ardie - wow!! His decision to play for MP has been a shot in the arm for SR.

The Chiefs are going to have to be 100% on next Sat night.

[sparky]

@antipodean But is he is as good on "both sides of the ball" as Ethan Blackadder?

Yeah thought it was strange not seeing Sotutu not going from the base as well, but as was pointed out, to then head back into the Moana traffic was also not the smartest idea.

A nice change these Moana threads after years of 'what's the point of this team' being branded around in the first 3 seasons.

[Dan54]

Don't care where Ardie plays, he would of preformed exactly the same at 6 or 8. That was just a gobsmacking performance by him. Dragged whole team up with him.
