    The Highlanders have won 5 of the last 6 matches between the sides. Including 2 of the last 3 at Eden Park

    Clearly they should be favourites. I think the underdogs have a reasonable chance though

          Rubbish. You're using feelings. I'm using logic. The undefeated Highlanders are favourites

            Not to mention the blues will get penalised off the park in the first half and Josh is yet to miss a kick in SRA.

              it feels like your trolling but i'll bite a little...undefeated in one game, compared to two games for the blues

              we just scraped past the chiefs...at home...when the blues beat them comfortably

              its at home for the blues

              TAB have blues as favs

              and before covid the blues we riding high on the table and we were struggling with largely the same squads...except we had ioane then

              facts = blues favs to win

                I’ve been to almost every Blues home game since I returned to NZ in 2013. Think of all the shitty performances I sat through during the Kirwan/Umaga years.. then there were the cruel games where the Blues outplayed the opposition but still manage to lose in the last 5mins

                It’s going to be a long time before I watch a game confident of a win.

                This year has been fun so far

                Blues favourites, but the Highlanders are a lot more dangerous than most people think

                  @Bones im not sure i'd even say sio is he was a great winger but walden is better in the midfield definitely

                  Koroi is actually a really good 10, very attacking/creative....yeah...nervous

                  What's the oil on Walden missing out altogether. Couldn't see him on the injured list. Any idea?

                    He was injured to start the super season and then they stuck with the (doomed from the start) failed experiment of Ioane at 12 and Misery Hunt at 10. It's starting to smell like something else now with the ridiculous selections going on seemingly just to ensure our 2nd best back last year doesn't even make the bench.

                                  I’ve been to almost every Blues home game since I returned to NZ in 2013. Think of all the shitty performances I sat through during the Kirwan/Umaga years.. then there were the cruel games where the Blues outplayed the opposition but still manage to lose in the last 5mins

                                  It’s going to be a long time before I watch a game confident of a win.

                                  This year has been fun so far

                                      Not sure you really want that, our strength is the forwards and field kicking.

                                          Yeah you're right, our forwards and kicking game suck. What we really want is a dry track to unleash our rolls Royce backline.
