Woke up a bit later than I’d like here in the UK and in time for the second half. Wondering if I could go back to bed

First half wasn't broadcast anyway!

@Mattasaurus problem is, they play pre-season, and use the wider squads, giving no real gametime, then the ABs are in and out, really doesnt do the 'super rugby product' any favours.

Bingo

[Steven Harris]

Dyer way off side and nothing from the ARs they must have been looking at the crowd

[Tim]

Can Tupaea scrum?

[sparky]

There seems to be a real shortage of smart footy players in NZ Rugby at the moment. Do they all get signed up by League?

[game_film]

@Bones Might have been better if it stayed that way

[taniwharugby]

Vaai doesnt seem to use his brain, see him take a swipe at the ball in Christies hands...

[KiwiMurph]

Better Blues

[Tim]

On ya Dalton. Been carrying a bit more tonight.

[Grooter]

Great work Dalton

[Gunner]

Some patience mixed with accurate ball handling yields a try!

[OleOleOle]

@sparky our development systems favour ‘power’ over intellect…this is the result

[sparky]

Dalton in.

[Tim]

@taniwharugby He is very dumb. Hilarious that he is mentioned as a potential AB captain.

[Mattasaurus]

Christie is stone cold out ffs

@Tim after losing Mark Telea even though he wasn’t top end quick he was strong but Forbes imo is not the guy who is gonna break open a game
Vai or Saunoa are more viable options moving forward

Tito Harris or Tangitau would of been handy.

We need to be careful not to bait our winger factory too much. We don't want the tap being turned off.

[taniwharugby]

@Mattasaurus looked to make first contact just prior to line as well

[OleOleOle]

Chiefs seem determined to kick every scrap of possession away. Blues have defended well and controlled ruck speed.

[Bones]

Mason Tupaea does not look like a prop.
