Blues v Hurricanes

[Steven Harris]

Dumb option from Akira Ioane, ignored a man on the outside ,could only see what was in front of him..

Death Taxes and a Blues meltdown against NZ teams...the lack of quality when you match these 2 teams in key positions is stating the obvious and despite having the dominant pack, all the ball and field position .the decision making has been appalling..!

[Yeetyaah]

Do the commentators know that Reiko is no. 11 and Tanielu is no. 14? They keep saying Ioane every time Tele'a gets the ball.

One more canes try to get my pessimistic half time prediction in

[antipodean]

FFS how was that not called not straight?

[Higgins]

And also the bonus point!

@Kirwan Something we seem to say a lot year after year after year after year after year and it won't be changing anytime soon.

No thanks. 9-16 is just right

[antipodean]

"Ricky Tubby Tele" is now called great depth.

[Machpants]

@antipodean well he was called into ABs squad so, I guess?

[Kirwan]

Mercy.

[Stargazer]

Kirifi walked straight through Akira.

Couldn't even make the midweekers against Japan. He's not depth by any stretch of the imagination.

[Tanifulla]

Still would have lost but how that 1st half yellow card wasn’t a penalty try is lost on me too

but still, it could be worse I could be a warriors fan

[Toddy]

Great win for the Canes. Blues completely outmuscled us but there was enough turnover ball to prove the difference.

Must admit the win is all the more sweeter after reading all the salty tears shed over the ref.

[kev]

Lots of kickable penalties in first half. Couldn’t finish close to line in 2nd. Pulu is rubbish.

[Kirwan]

turning point was Plummer and Nock going off. That made a huge difference in how the backline went.

Scrum was much, much better but we were so inaccurate and blew so many opportunities.

Frustrating.

[Machpants]

Ardie is best player in Super Rugby ATM, at least in what I've watched (all NZ games, plus a few others)

[Hooroo]

So the cripple fight is set up again between Blues v Chiefs to see who is the shittest kiwi team. Blues giving me small hope.

That clown at 8 is way overrated
