Shot Blues!

Cake landers. Brought absolutely nothing, lucky to even be in the match at the end. When Tevita Li is your highlight reel, it's been a horrendous night.

Well, besides their forwards bashing six shades of shit out of the home side at set piece

Huh? Was that when the Blues got loads of turnovers towards the end or when they got the scrum penalty?

Tim

Who's this dumb bitch asking BBC Sport style questions? Trying to get Smith to say that they were hard done by the yellow card.

@Kirwan Might not be leaving if he got a fair go in the last few years!

Yep. Required fuck Tana here.

Highlanders fan I guess.

@Tim is shit that they do that...sure you can point to it being a turnign point, I think it was harsh, but where is the benefit of trying to get the players to call it too?

Tim

@taniwharugby Very much like that awful woman who asks aftermatch questions at Cardiff.

Machpants

It does look like, aside from the saders, the NZ conference will cannibalize itself this year

Was surprised how good Marty Banks was. Got under Nonus skin too.

Stargazer

@Kirwan Chiefs fan (fact)

@Tim said in Blues v Highlanders:

Pulu wasn't at that ruck and Black had to come into halfback. He then didn't know what option to take. Pulu is so fucking bad.

I'm quoting this because Pulu very nearly cost us the win in the last two minutes.

Tim

@Kirwan Yeah, he's a guy who turn up special plays, even if he did kick the last one dead.

Before he decided to bugger off, he was starting to shape up as a serious contender for the ABs, at least in an extended squad. Can't see that now, but hopefully he can get back to the type of leading role he used to play.

@Bones Always been a classy player, definitely a team asset as this level.

@Bones seems to have a cult following in Dunedin club footy

kev

@Northlandallday Parsons always looks that way. Only one gear.

You get a lot of kudos in NZ for looking like me.

African Monkey

@Bones Yeah It's very embarrassing having Tevita Li do that. Even worse for Highlanders fans having to put up with him for another week at least.

Great to finally beat a fellow NZ team. Thought it was never gonna happen. Hopefully for us we can kick on from here.

Tim

Nice return to form for Gibson. Akira getting stuck in, but could be used better on attack. Big game from Pat T.

I find the attack structure really odd when Parsons is used to hit it up so much and Ioane is an after-thought that cleans up the breakdown and only gets the ball if he just happens to be there.
