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

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

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

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

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

The kicking this year has been really good. You can see them seeing space and putting the ball in there; dragging players out of position, then kicking well. Long way to go, but goddamn it's better than we've seen for a while.
I love JK to bits as a human, but FFS he appears to be a terrible analyst or rugby coach. I cannot believe he got appointed and then left in place for so long.

Standard slipping in super derbies. Thought Canes were refereed far too leniently in first half. Too much cynical stuff was let go or missed including kick chases from offside and side entries. Great touches from reiko and cowley tuioti though and fletcher Smith good for the canes. But I don't think it should ever be allowed to get to 12 v 15 in a match...

If I had to sum up that game it was Blues composure versus Canes lack of discipline.
Out defence and effort was incredible at times, especially considering the travel factor. And the Canes were lucky not to give away another Penalty try and the ref missed at least another two shoulder charges. A real issue for them that tackling technique. Unbelievably stupid.
It’s such a treat watching a well coached side, with an obvious game plan and the team putting out huge effort after huge effort.
Plenty to work on, lineout obviously , but this is a good team.
Return fixture for this one is going to be a beauty.

Up to the players not to tackle like that to avoid it, really.
