        Loads of errors from both sides

        Ranger penalised for hands, ref was clearly telling him to disengage

        Blues A defend the maul again but a soft try a couple of phases later to the no 8

        19-0

          Blues on attack

          Ranger turns it over, kick down field, canes get possession on the 22

          Ranger penalised for offside

          Blues A vs Ranger at the moment

          Canes maul penalised

            Blues almost get a TH on a Canes defensive scrum.. earn a penalty instead

            Royal scores from the maul

            Canes 19-7

                Ranger does something good!

                Catches a chip kick (from Gatland?) 30m out beats the last line

                19-14

                    Classic hot and cold Ranger he looks sharp now

                    Gatland takes it to the line 20m out makes a half break offloads to Ranger who beats the fullback

                    Blues take the lead 21-19

                        Half time 21-19

                        Quality of both sides play much better in the 2nd quarter

                        Vaega looks dangerous and Gatland continues to improve

                          @Duluth Great to hear about Vaega.

                          He looked sharp in his 2016 Super Rugby appearances, and had good NPC. Hope to see him get some game time soon.

                              Royal charges down a clearing kick then Canes penalised for offside

                              Blues score from another maul. Not sure who got it

                              Blues ahead 28-19

                                He's done lots of good work on defence, really accurate. Not much phase play in this game though

                                  Canes held up over the line after another maul attempt

                                  They barge over a couple of phases after the scrum

                                  Kirikiri with his second

                                  28-26

                                    Some soft defence and the Canes are in under the posts

                                    They lead 33-28

                                      Penalty outs the Blues on attack

                                      They almost score from the maul. Held up over the line after a couple of pick and goes

                                      Well worked midfield move from the scrum. Rayasi scores

                                      Blues back in front 35-33

                                        There's been a lot of mauls from 5m out in this game

                                        A series of penalties get the Canes another one

                                        They score from the maul (1st in 5 attempts?)

                                        Canes 40-35

                                          Goodhue, who has played well, falls off a tackle out wide

                                          Canes in again (O'Rielly?)

                                          45-35
