I am a big fan of Matich and stoked he is finally getting a shot, it is a bit surprising they seem to be giving him a decent go to own the 7 jersey in Gibsons absence
Hopefully he goes well and gets ahead of Brown in the rankings
@taniwharugby said in Blues 2019 - (New Head Coach):
Robinson has alot of potential, with a huge engine and can play 6 and lock, so is likely a good bench option?
I agree, I think he'll be on the bench a lot this year.
Although against certain teams I would like us to have Tuipulotu, Scrafton and Goodhue in the 23, with Goodhue covering six. That would force Robinson out

@taniwharugby Robinson is the ginger isn't he? Shouldn't be allowed in NZ Super Rugby. Were not fucking Scotland!
-
@Crazy-Horse he is a modern Paul Tito....pretty sure Robinsons dad was an AB so he gets a bit more latitude

@taniwharugby I liked what he did with Northland. Seemed abrasive and not scared of putting in the graft from what I saw of him.

Will today's game be broadcast on any online radio station, or streamed?
No livestream. I'm still trying to find radio coverage, but not holding my breadth. I think following the Hurricanes on twitter is your best bet.

I found a radio stream: https://radio.org.nz/upoko-te-ika/

@Stargazer first 3 rules of commentary;score ,time gone field position..I suppose I shouldn’t complain it’s better than nothing..I must admit they are very funny..
Sounds like Gareth Evans is playing well for the Canes and Tom Robinson is a very physical game for the Blues. -
@Steven-Harris Haha, yes, it's only a small local radio station, not Radio Sport! Usually, they only cover local club (or school) rugby and the occasional NPC preseason game. I only know this station, and Radio Eketahuna, who do radio commentary on rugby games in the Wellington/Wairarapa/Hawke's Bay regions.

All over,Canes score late,but the Blues take the win 38-31
-
Be interesting to get some feedback from someone who was at the game..
-
@Steven-Harris Yeah, I hope @Canes4life was at the game and gives us his comments.
