Hurricanes v Blues

[Tim]

I'll always take a win. Good defence.

[nzzp]

Chalk these performances up to Leon, and Leon being in charge ultimately goes back to the Board of a year and a half ago. They bit the bullet, moved on Tana and the team has been on an upward trajectory since.

The mental toughness is coming. We're growing, and have a lot of upside left. So John Hart and Don McKinnon, take a bow. Your courage has paid off. Well played.

Canes got found out no depth at tight head. F.Smith played well IMO Gareth Evan's played. Fifita at lock or left right out. Flanders should be our 6 till Ardie comes back. Hope young Numia is ok for next week well done blues hope we get to play yous again

yuo're joking, but I'd throw in a lazy few bucks After so many years of disappointment, we're finally starting to look like a rugby team.

[Bovidae]

Cowley-Tuioti showed his value in the 2nd half.

Well done Blues, the streak is over.

[Tim]

@Bovidae Yeah, GCT is a good lineout forward.

[taniwharugby]

regardless of the brainless cards giving a bit of a hand, that will be a big monkey off the Blues backs!

He was very good off of restarts too.

[Bovidae]

@Tim Kick-off receptions as well.

They are shwoing the cards now on Sky 50. Remarkably dumb play, more of what I'm used to seeing from the Blues

[nzzp]

Also, Akira played really well. That try was superb, but he was strong all game. Godo coming back with no matches under his belt

I think they got found out as being a bit dumb more to the point. Each card, totally avoidable.

Unplayable at times. NZ's Billy Vunipola. Must be in the ABs squad.
