    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

      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.

          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

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

                        Blues scrum getting on top. Tighthead.

                          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

                            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

                                chiefs power over next to the posts

                                  All over. Chiefs almost scored in the corner in the last play

                                      The starting tight 5 in the Highlanderd game Hodgman, Parsons, Tuungafasi, Scrafton, Tuioti should be the Blues Starters. Tana can't afford to tinker around with his starting pack, they played well Pauliasi Manu needs to come off the bench. I like Pat T off the bench for impact. Whatever happens at half time the Tana and his Coaches need to change the script for two in a row the boys come out flat. The Team is good enough, it is not about mindset it is all about strategy.

                                          @kiwimurph so Ruru to start, Nock to watch off the bench, but based on the way Tana selects, I expect Nock to get the nod.
