    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

                      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

                                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.

                                          Just saw on Instagram that the Blues were sitting in a hot plane somewhere and were melting without airco for (at least) two hours before taking off.
