Jeez, Robinson still getting minutes
So far he's only had one below par game (Sharks)
Gibson is only getting through ~60mins since returning from injury. Because they need to sub him they have to keep Papalii on the bench.
Hopefully Gibson can be trusted with more minutes soon. Then we can start rotating the loosies more. We can't play Akira and Robinson into the ground@Duluth said in Blues vs Stormers:

We can't play Akira and Robinson into the groundI actually haven't been as enamoured by him as others on here (ginga-ism maybe?), up until the most recent game I thought he was busy but not entirely effective - but against the Highlanders he was both. Hopefully he keeps it up.

Seems to have a fair bit of upside, and for a rookie he's going really we.
Really happy to see Scrafton on the bench. Still not sure who our preferred first five is; maybe this is an extended season long trial, but I've made my thoughts on selectors pickign someone clear before. Not going to be too much of a broken record.

@KiwiMurph Hmm would have rested him for this game tbh as the Waratahs pose a massive aerial threat and despite liking Telea's work so far this year, I'm not very confident about him under the high ball. Would much rather have Rieko and Duffie on the wings for next week to help counter Folau in the air
Oh, and I'm in Auckland for the weekend so can't wait to go along to this one :smiling_face_with_open_mouth: . Better get a win as I'm travelling far enough to watch it haha.

I see the most predictable comment of the night has already been made. Move on, please.
Look to the right and use your scrollbar.

Can someone explain how the hooker can throw the ball in straight when they throw it directly to the front prop?

That was atrocious, the fuck were the two officials looking at?
