    Tahs in again. A good time for halftime to adjust to this.

    Our bench will be key again.

    Bench not great this week. Missing Karl and a good lock, and our good loosie is on already

    @nzzp We could be in a lot of trouble if we don't find a way to stop Folau in the air.

      Blues ill prepared to stop the high balls and rolling mauls. Not a great look.

      Ref is random and weather suits Tahs.

          We looked great in the first 20, with the ball particularly. Need to kick better in this half for sure

            @kev totally agree it’s not one of Ruru’s strengths ,his kicking from the base is awful,why you would try a box kick when Israel Folau is gonna be the guy who fields it is beyond me...in 2 minutes we have seen 2 average red zone clearances which result in either more possession ,field position and eventually a try from a lineout drive..

            @Steven-Harris hope they adjust in 2nd half - kick long or run it out. Had no ball going forward in 2nd 20 with penalties. Before that dominated contact zone and rucks.

                Such a contrast that try from previous years, patient, coordinated buildup

                    @kev it’s funny when you kick away from Folau..you can catch him out of position,force him to cover some ground,he’s a big guy and gonna take some time to turn around

                        This.

                        If you have a good kicking game, you can take advantage.

                        A bad one though, and he’ll kill you.

                          Example of stupid,doing the same box kick and expecting a different result

                            Haven’t really watched the blues this year. Is the forward Ioane brother a bit fat at the moment?
