Gregory having a bit of a mare.

He'll have another. Make a mistake and you'll probably make two. Make two and you'll definitely make a third.

Prescient

Gregory doesn’t jump for the high kick, that’s just silly given the protection given in the air

[Frank]

Good to see the Highlanders got the shit ginga from the North and the Blues got the good one. Makes a nice change.

[Bones]

Sotutu wchd again.

Reckon some more handling disasters should ensure the blues have a 20+ lead at the half. Good application guys.

True! He's been very calm recently.

[Bones]

Good to see Hunt returning to his true form.

[akan004]

Odd decision not to go for the lineout.

[Stargazer]

Mikaele-Tu'u having a great game by the way.

[Tim]

Good footy in those conditions.

Ref more lenient and teams better adapted. Still a bit tentative though. Enjoying it this week.

[Frank]

Why are teams usually so content just to kick it out with the last play of the half?
Why not try to work your way up field to get a penalty?

[Tim]

Important that the Blues keep their patience, and don't try to score from every play.

[Kiwiwomble]

We’re doing really well in the forwards, just kick for touch and let the big boys get us close

Blues are not really any more likely to score than the Highlanders from that position.
