Stormers v Blues

[nzzp]

I think the game is 0205 SUnday morning. Terrible time to watch

@stargazer Blues probably need to update their website, haven't both Moulds & Pryor been named in the dev side game this weekend?

@KiwiMurph maybe the intention is to see how the props are going an dif well enough, send Ross on at hooker, and then he can shift to prop if they need to send Apisai on.

Despite losing, I think the Stormers have been playing ok. Willemse is a talented, shame he won't be going head to head with Perofeta from the start.

With that travel the Blues should be favourites though. Checked a couple of places and it seems the Blues are rated a better chance by foreign betting agencies, the tab has it almost even

Rare for us to get 2 wins in SA, but this is a pretty good chance for it. Stormers will be tough though, even with travel.

@kiwimurph said in Stormers v Blues:

Id rather see Parsons play 80 than Apisai see the field. Why not just keep Wright at bench hooker and have Mafileo as reserve prop.

As good a time as any to play Parsons 80 with the BYE next week.

these uniforms though..

Why arent the Blues wearing their away jersey

[KiwiMurph]

@mimic that is the Blues away jersey.

Ironically the Blues home jersey is light blue and would clash less.

How fucking hard is it for SAANZAR to sort it out so their arent jersey clashes.

[akan004]

We appear to be flat. Very inaccurate so far.

[KiwiMurph]

Second week in a row Blues have started poorly.

[KiwiMurph]

Blues defense non existent.

[KiwiMurph]

Absolutely awful from Gatland.

So the Stormers have a 19 year old first five and Tana is too much of a pussy to play Perofeta at 10...

[KiwiMurph]

There is only one team in this. They are wearing blue but it aint the Blues.

[antipodean]

If the Blues have a defensive coach, he should be fired.

[KiwiMurph]

Another awful error by Gatland - great selection Tana

Its hard winning when you're leaking 30 points a game..

[akan004]

Gatland and Nock have been gash. Fuck off Tana and your shit selections, you are just not up to it at this level.

[akan004]

Italy v Scotland game seems a lot more interesting. Might just start watching that.

The problem with Tana is he is reactionary.

Moala has a mare at 13 then he drops him.

Gatland and Nock are awful but he should have seen this coming.

[akan004]

@kiwimurph So true. I have seen nothing from him over the last two and a bit years which shows me that he has any tactical nous. Add in poor selections and a general inability to inspire the team and we pretty much have another JK. This team needs a world class coach, not a guy who may be good in five years time.

[gt12]

If the Blues are going to ship 25 points a half, they may as well put out their most attacking side and at least try to make a game of it.
