Blues 2018

[Duluth]

Chiefs score in the corner. Matich, who has been good so far, got stepped out wide.

14-5

[Duluth]

Flat ball from Ruru (not Ruru late change), Perofeta hits it at pace 15m out. Almost gets to the line. Chiefs rip it out

9 & 10 looking good

[Duluth]

Chiefs score in the same corner. I have an obstructed view, no idea what happened there.

Looks like a new halfback on for the Blues. Not sure when that happened

14-12

Not sure it was him. He was listed to start but I think the HB might be someone else. Doesn’t look like the NH sub either

[Steven Harris]

Chiefs left winger Malo Tuitoma who has scored both the Chiefs try’s looks dangerous with ball in hand

[Duluth]

Chiefs do their best to bomb a try, messy passes in front of the posts. Ball dribbles out to the right wing and they’re in again

21-12 Chiefs

[Duluth]

That’s halftime

Leger, Perofeta the standouts

Matich has been busy. Moala Liava’a has had some good moments, half breaks but he also conceded a penalty from a late tackle on a kicker. Great tackle, just half a second too late.

Want to see Manu get more ball he’s looked dangerous with the few touches he got

He's with the Chiefs? Had completely missed that. Wellington lad.

[Duluth]

Manu got close to the posts. Try bombed a couple of passes later

Penalty, we go for a scrum, don’t quit make it over. Repeat that sentence 3 times.

Penalty try on another scrum

21-19 Chiefs

@Duluth

Was Aumua noticeable in the U20 game?

Had some runs nothing spectacular. Think he subbed off before HT

He’s as wide as he is tall

[Stargazer]

@duluth So he's Julian v2? Or Piri v3?

[Duluth]

@stargazer

Broad not fat

[Duluth]

Leger is at flyhalf now

He’s good but he ain’t a ten

[Stargazer]

@duluth Ah, then it's okay! You got me worried for a sec.

[Duluth]

Blues scrum getting on top. Tighthead.

[Steven Harris]

Games on into real stale mate,the Blues forwards have had the dominant scrum,but chiefs backline are looking the more dangerous unit,Manu looks the Blues best..love the work of Matich massive engine

[Duluth]

Blues got the ball to the outsides for the first time in a while. Someone scored down the right flank. Couldn’t spot the number .. maybe Hyland again?

Scoreboard says 26-19 Blues now

Think I had it wrong earlier. Oops

[Steven Harris]

Correct Hyland in for his 2nd Try

[Duluth]

And it’s even

chiefs power over next to the posts

26-26
