Blues 2019

[Dice]

@Duluth Seems like James Tucker is either injured or someone called him up(Canes?).

Parsons said that Scrafton will play 40 this week, 60 next week and 80 the week after that, then hopefully be available for the Sunwolves game.

[Duluth]

Watching the A game

I think it was Levi that fell off a tackle and the Canes went 80m for a try

Olmstead and Choat busy on defence early

[Duluth]

Blues conceding a few early penalties. Canes in good position because of that

Some basic missed tackles, then the Canes score down the left wing again

[Duluth]

Blues score. Tele’a? Aoake?

Good powerful work from Ahokovi in the build up

[Duluth]

Ahokovi Is good

Great fend to make a break and then swerved to beat the fullback

Another Blues try

[Duluth]

Choat with a half break off the back of a lineout. Olmstead held up over the line a couple of phase later.

Messy work off the base of the scrum then the Blues 12 scores from the loose ball

[Duluth]

Scrafton getting more prominent as the half goes on

Blues on attack then opposition 12 intercepts 12s pass and the Canes are in again

[Duluth]

Olmstead getting fired up after a shitty refs call. Wins a turnover pen at the next phase

HT now

[Duluth]

Canes in again. Rayasi with the last pass

He’s looked good from what I can see.. his plays have mostly been at the far end of the field from me

[Duluth]

Lots of subs already.

Scrafton just played the first 40

[Duluth]

Lewis G with a 30m break from his own try line.

Lots of scrappy play now

Strong cross wind is affecting passing

[Duluth]

Games gone flat after the reserves.

blues maul held up just short of the line

[Duluth]

Kirkpatrick has been ok. Tidying up others mistakes

Olmstead and Choat the pick of the forwards

Impressed with Tele’a and Ahokovi

[Duluth]

Kirkpatrick gives the last pass for Levi who barges over in the corner

Coventry on the sideline yelling at him to go under the posts. He doesn’t. Coventry is grumpy with that

[Duluth]

Wiseguy is on. Defending at fullback

[Duluth]

Good defence late in the game from the Blues. Multiple phases 5m out

Canes 12 gets over eventually

No idea what the score is

Full time

[Stargazer]

@Duluth Thanks for the updates. Reading your comments, it seems Danny Toala (Canes 12) had a good game.

[Stargazer]

Full time: Blues A 24 - 33 Hurricanes Hunters (that's apparently the name of the Canes' development team)

[Duluth]

@Stargazer said in Blues 2019 - (New Head Coach):

Thanks for the updates. Reading your comments, it seems Danny Toala (Canes 12) had a good game.

I guess he was the guy. Unfortunately had a poor view of every hurricanes try.

[Nogusta]

@Stargazer yea that was Danny Toala. Played very well scored 3 tries. Finished off another Rayasi break for his first, going 70 metres from an intercept for the 2nd and showing good strength close to the line to go through 2 defenders for his 3rd. Along with Rayasi the pick of the backs. Noticed Proctor was listed but wasn't there.
That crosswind really hampered the kicking and passing today.
