    TJ has been defending extremely well this year, and issue last year when played at 13 and Marchant has certainly improved defence when he played at 13. A risk swapping them around, but I like this backline.

    that Marchant Ioane swap is weird. Must have some reason, but Rieko seems a better winger, and Marchant a better centre. I dunno, hope this isn't back to the days of Tana's lottery...

    I think it’s the same with Nock, we have nothing to lose with this game so giving Nock his last try to impress, and letting Rieko have his shot at centre.

    If it doesn’t go well then the coach can say he tried and put him back on the wing.

    Yeah.

    I'm moderately excited about Nock though. A good game here, and it's on. Ruru has been pretty frustrating, and I'm keen to see how Christie goes.

    Hopefully Kurt's improved. Any update on the Parsons injury? I haven't seen anything, but getting trampled by a couple of monsters didn't look good

    @nzzp Parsons was on the radio on Thursday and said that the best case scenario is he'll be out for 2 weeks. He still has to have an MRI when he gets back though, but the x-rays in SA showed that there was no fracture in his shoulder.

      Some interesting stats:

      The Blues and Stormers have faced each other 20 times and they're tied at 10 wins a piece.

      Average score: Blues 25 Stormers 24.

      Average score in Cape Town: Stormers 24 Blues 23

              Nock is absolutely killing it (so far).

                Nice pass by TJ to set up Dalton out wide.

                Ridiculously good start by us.

                  Charitable of Rieko to gift the Stormers 7 points...

                        Rieko defending at centre... Doesn't look pretty.

                            Self inflicted 7 points

                            Nocks shitty pass got them down here, Karl penalised for boring in yet again then Rieko’s defence

                                Classy touch from Rieko in that try

                                He’s half of a good centre

                                  Yeah i'll give Rieko credit there very nice hands.

                                  Perofeta is having a monster game.

                                    Wtf. So what more evidence does Sanzaar want that SA refs in SA just don't work. Tmo looks at angle that clearly shows try being scored, tells ref want to view another angle. What for try was awarded

                                        @Dice his workrate is nuts.

                                        Lineout throwing still a work on but it is improved.
