    Wow, another try from Rieko! The subs have had a positive influence and have sped up the game considerably.
    Ruru + Perofeta is miles better than Nock + Gatland.

      More cohesion and the Team is really moving forward.

        SBW is pretty disappointing though.

          Duffie's defence has been suspect, he still comes in and exposes his Wing.

            Not just Duffie's defence. Lions strike back immediately.

            35 -24 to the Lions with 6 minutes to go.

              Try Tupou. Probably the only name the commentators have pronounced right during the game.

                Boys chancing their arm, bench has been strong. Lions have been strong at the breakdown. We can get the ball wide, keep the all in hand we can win this.

                    Awesome! The Blues beat the Lions with a converted try in referee's time! Geez, how much did the Blues improve after the subs came on!

                    Final score: Lions 35 - 38 Blues

                            I was worried Ruru had been given the TSF curse when his first three touches were ankles/above the head/intercept but he added impetus after that.

                                What about his charge down, it was always going to be a charge down. He and Nanai are the most frustrating, always do something crap mixed with the good they do

                                  With Ruru he may have just edged on the right side of the ledger, but only just.

                                    @crucial Ruru must have been the most relieved man on the field when that touch down was not given,but great to see the Blues come up on the right side of the ledger,probably the Blues best win against an away team of real quality in a very long time.

                                      @rebound I agree with you on Nainai, he has all this talent mixed with a brain explosion or two.

                                        I have never understood why Gatland was so highly rated. The times I've watched him he was distinctly underwhelming.

                                        I know several people who reckon he wasn't even the best at HBHS. But his name was excellent PR for them.

                                          Hopefully that's the win the Blues need to get confidence and stop trying too hard.

                                          They were lucky their persistence paid off in the end as they were really searching for things that weren't there.
