Blues v Highlanders

Highlanders draging down the blues into their level

The back three aren't helping the Blues. Collins is poor, Duffie is poor and if Ranger was a working dog, he'd have been shot.

@mariner4life Buckman was in the reckoning and is shit loads better than you're giving him credit for. Seems you're being the bitchy one...

Blackeye

Yep i can see why Tana selected the back 3, balance, power and control but hey it's not gelling

How long before Nanai i guess 10 mins in

Dice

Just like last week, Rieko hasn't gotten any ball because our possession is so choppy. We can't build phases to work in our strike players.

Chris B.

Who's the Blues' scrum coach. He needs to give his boys a kick in the pants, because they're being touched up by Hammer's journeymen scrum!

Bones

Hah. Love the locker room shot with Brown standing inbetween the groups looking like the caretaker who just stumbled on set during a live broadcast.

Ranger just another in the long line of players who come back to NZ a shadow of their former selves.

West with another drop

mariner4life

Wrst at the back is the Highlanders best player

antipodean

No clear release. Not supporting himself. How is that a penalty?

Blues dont seem to have a game plan

mariner4life

Every blues lineout is short, what the fuck was that last one?

Gareth Evans has had a monster game to this point.

Hooroo

@Stargazer Buckman is so average. He's an honest trier, but he just doesn't have it.

I completely disagree. I think he is fucking solid. Maybe not at fullback but.

Not having a fabulous game tonight mind you

Tim

What does Tupou bring to the Blues? Coach's pet is pretty average.

mariner4life

That throw was short as well. Parsons is having a mare

Bones

This constant kicking away of front foot attacking ball from the highlanders this year is frustrating as fuck.

KiwiMurph

Duffie has been good i dont get the hate.
