Blues v Hurricanes

[antipodean]

OMFG Where the flying flipping banana was the penalty against Savea at the maul?

[African Monkey]

FFS! Typical frustrating Blues game where we make all the play but are still down as usual.

[Tim]

@antipodean LOL, he came right around the side clear as day!

[Kirwan]

Man what a mix of a half, terrible hands and defence mixed in with some really good rugby. So inconsistent.

Injuries are going to really affect the second half, Plummer and Nock were looking great.

[kev]

@Steven-Harris yep, too many mistakes in red zone. Sloppy d.

On the plus side, those two for next year have to be certain locks for starting positions.

Props and Goodhue

[Steven Harris]

@Tim reminds me of Bryants performance against the Crusaders, here we go again..I cringed when I found he was the official..!

[Kirwan]

We can win this game, like I thought at the beginning it’s the little things letting us down. Three of those drops were terrible, almost unforced.

Instead, it’ll probably blow out to a 15 point loss

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth couple of shit passes from Pulu...noticable how much slower his passes are and not on target.

[kev]

@Duluth yep Goodhue concussed though

[Duluth]

@taniwharugby he hasn’t on for most of the knocks

[Duluth]

@kev that wasn’t the only one

[Kirwan]

We need to pressure the ref, get into his ear. Letting the Canes off the hook.

[KiwiMurph]

Thats a really low percentage option to go for the rolling maul after the hooter. Any sort of held up etc = halftime.

Sums up Blues. Need more rugby nous!

[Kirwan]

Man that replay of Savea pulling down the maul before the line is terrible

[kev]

@Kirwan he was around the side and on the ground

[Kirwan]

@KiwiMurph yet when we go wider, we drop it!

[Chris B.]

Lots of endeavour by the Blues, but one handling mistake kills all that. One missed tackle does as well!

Lack of concentration (catch the frigging ball and hold onto it) and lack of nous (construct a try)!

Except when we scored.

How many rolling maul tries have the Blues scored this year?
