Blues v Lions

KiwiMurph

@Tim Marshall, Te Nana but I didn't catch the name of the main commentator. A refreshing change from others.

Frank

Crowd widely spaced. Keeping their distance from one another.

African Monkey

@KiwiMurph @Tim Bevan Dewar is the main caller.

@taniwharugby Great captaincy from the young man!

Tim

Apparently Dewar is on Radio Sport. What's his background?

@Tim talking

KiwiMurph

That was a beautiful try.

Duluth

That was a beautiful try.

So was that

@Duluth I think Sotutu has that front spot for the young 8s. Papalii warming into the game.

taniwharugby

aww c'mon, TJ, you coulda got that, didnt need to pass!

NIcely done though

KiwiMurph

Nock gets better every week - now he is starting to run.

antipodean

Amazing how well the Blues are starting to play now they have developed some confidence in themselves and their processes.

taniwharugby

@antipodean plus players being given chances to build combos rather than previous years chop and change for the sake of it

Duluth

I think there have been plenty of changes. Think of the loosies last year. The team is more organised

taniwharugby

@Duluth but there seems there has been more of a plan around changes as opposed to just changing week in week out despite form.

Duluth

I think it’s just people don’t complain about changes when the team is winning

Duluth

Great maul defence again. Credit to Coventry

KiwiMurph

Walsh and Renata have struggled at scrum time.

Chris B.

If they cancel Super Rugby right now - the Blues win!

taniwharugby

disappointing final 15, but the Blues had done the job already, and presently sit atop of the table.
