Blues v Hurricanes

[African Monkey]

@Kirwan Yes they certainly play at a faster tempo.

[fcc]

So can we throw out the Barrett is a better defender than Mo’unga myth?

[SammyC]

Terrible start by Jordie Barrett... hugely overrated player

Blues forwards well on top so far

[Chris]

Nock has an Awesome box kick

How about they both struggle?

[Duluth]

Akira taking the first carry after a kickoff this week. Much better option than the midfielders

[Stargazer]

@fcc Which Barrett?

@Stargazer said in Blues v Hurricanes:

Jordie is having a shocker thus far. At least 3 handling errors already.

He seems like a real confidence player. And it appears shot already.

Dalton too slow off the side of the scrum. Good tackle by Ioane the younger.

[Tim]

Christ, some jerk came into my office at exactly the wrong time.

[Kirwan]

This is a good start, can we keep it up?

[Chris]

Kick for the line keep the pressure on Canes tight five too soft

[Toddy]

Massive advantage.

[African Monkey]

@antipodean Yeah flankers need to adjust as they're clearing the ball very quickly from the scrum.

[African Monkey]

@Chris If only we had a rolling maul.

[Machpants]

That was so a blues knock on

How’s that?

[kev]

Should be penalty try for collapsing

[African Monkey]

@Kirwan Decent. Should have scored from it though tbh.

You can collapse beyond the try line. The reason is a maul can only exist in the field of play, which doesn't include the in-goal.
