    So Akira not selected to play for the ABs, but goes into camp and comes back playing brilliant. AB coaches with a plan of how to use him at the RWC and don't want teams being given a year to study it?

    It’s the only thing keeping me sane. Avoiding the second year blues?

    Also, Tana has flogged him this year. May not want to overplay him?

    I don't think it's an issue he's getting "flogged" - I think he's the type of player who goes better the more minutes he plays.

    Hansen's got to give him a test by the end of the year though, nuts if he doesn't.

    By the time he gives Taufua a run, he’s probably already well exceeded his handing out new caps quota for the year.

    If the rumours are true about the Ioane's leaving then the Blues really are fucked next year.

    Which rumours?

    I was ready to change the channel after 10 mins. It was THAT bad.

    The Blues no.8 looks handy. I think he'd go OK wearing black.

    Scratchy game but nice to see a win.

    Gibson strong first game back, Akira an absolute monster. Nanai looked useful.

    Duffie and Collins were poor.

    Blues maul defence poor as usual - worst scrum performance of the year.

    Clarke is a bit raw but you can see the potential. Just needs more time in the saddle.

    Moulds handy around the field but poor at set piece.

    Would like to see more of Pierce. Less of Taramai.

    Nothing like playing an Aussie team to help celebrate an occasion.

    Well done Kaino

    What a cripple fight. Ref'd by a retard.
    Probably the most consistently bad ref performance i have ever seen. How long until he is fucking up international rugby?

    Blues are fucked if the Ioanes leave. It might be a good time to strip them of their ABs and create a second division of not so super rugby.

    AB's coaches have rocks in their heads if they can't see that Akira is the second best 8 in NZ.

    Duffie looks like he has given up. Maybe he has realised his AB career is toast.

    Didn't Duffie dedicate this season to Tana or something?

    They're playing Darude - same music as the 2003 Blues.

    Terrible tune. Gets worse each year.

    It certainly looks like he did. He’s playing as well as Tana’s coaching....
