    @Damo what about Investec, they do banking too?

    Maybe, but their core business is investment advice/brokerage.

    I'm not necessarily defending him by the way.

    @Northlandallday Needs to work on his throwing though.

    First throw overthrow not good, the rest were spot on. Did ya see P-T wild throw and Parsons numerous miss throws.

    I thought that was a better game for the Blues but still too many individual errors. Fekitoa was awesome. Just played tough, kept coming and by the end he and Buckman had won the midfbield battle against the Auckland stars.

    I hate Veitch, but he knows how to get hits.

    Do the Blues have a fitness problem the way they fade in the 2nd half of these big games.

    @Tim I thought the same thing during the game. Their intensity just drops.

    They had enough chances to win the game. They just don't have the confidence to finish off right now

    SBW makes my rugby dick hard. Fuck off @MN5 stop proving you know fuck all.

    Nutbrown has out the whistle away and it's a free for all at the moment

    That comment is still less gay than liking Nicole Kidman I guess

    Surely a player, regardless of their religion can't be allowed to cover up a sponsors logo.

    If I was that sponsor I'd be pretty fucking pissed having no doubt paid thousands of dollars for the right to have a logo there.

    Cant be different rules for different people, especially religion based ones.

    It happened in cricket..
    Michael Jones didn't play on Sundays..
    If you're not careful you could lose those players for good.. Sometimes even money can't pay for people's values..

    Yeah Fekitoa's best game for some time. He was a monster on defence and showed a few nice touches in attack.

    Dixon played really well in that 2nd half. Tackled like a demon and covered a lot of ground.

    Francis was excellent I thought.

    Not much in these teams and in Orcs it could've been the other way round.

    A good game to watch.

    I'm going off Fekitoa, just turns the ball over too much and can be a liability on attack in terms of feeding others in space. Still, he's bloody good at getting on the outside shoulder and great on defence.

    Ref wasn't great, but that wasn't the reason the Blues lost. They have plenty of talent there but it seems not many rugby brains. Far too many errors and the lineout is utter shit. I heart Umaga, but I'm not sure he's that good a coach. This team just don't appear well-drilled, well led or well conditioned. Must must obscenely frustrating for Blues fans.

    Duffie must be close to AB selection surely. His aerial skills alone are pure gold at test level.

    There's just something about Duffie that strikes me as an average test option. I can't pinpoint it, he's playing some great footy though. Must be the mabo.

    It's because he's a skinny white guy isn't it? Racist.

    He looks the quintessential Paddie in this picture:
