Blues v Hurricanes

[Chris B.]

Jesus - looks like Coventry's actually coached a driving maul this week - almost!

[Stargazer]

Wow, that was too easy for Lam. Where was the defence?

[Chris]

That was soft Blues

[African Monkey]

And just like that the Canes are level. They don't need much haha.

[SammyC]

Soft tackle from Blake Gibson

[Kirwan]

Damn, we are looking good too.

[Higgins]

Ab out 15% of possession and the Canes are not behind

[antipodean]

Pretty clear Laumape didn't release the tackled player. Poor refereeing and very poor tackling; result is Lam waltzes through to a try between the posts.

[kiwiinmelb]

Was just thinking the blues need more than 7 points as a reflection of the lopsided possession

[Tim]

@SammyC Yep. Poor defence.

[African Monkey]

@antipodean Still doesn't excuse the poor tackling.

[RoninWC]

Jezzz, is Ardie our best 7 and 8 right now?

As was suggested after last week's game, princep is useless with ball in hand from 8 but give it to Ardie and wow!

And he's been everywhere already.

And for the 3rd 5/8... What about Ma'a? He's been first recover for almost half the Blues possessions and has kicked and distributed as well as any of our youngsters.

[Stargazer]

That was awesome from TJP!

[kev]

Fuck this ref is useless. How offside do you have to be?

[Kirwan]

Defence has gone to hell

Quite right, just like that one there by TJ Fiane that was missed by the ref.

[SammyC]

Karl t is a really lazy player, dropped the ball and gave up letting Aumua run straight through

[MajorPom]

Despite there being some pretty average defence and some even worse finishing, it's a decent game to watch!!

No he was watching the outside player

[kiwiinmelb]

When the ball is turned over , blues defence non existent
