WTF? That was a terrible wasted kick from Sotutu?

[Bones]

There's Reiko!

[KiwiMurph]

Trust Rieko and Tomkinson to get into some scuffles lol

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.

They’re winning by twelve...why risk it? It’s smart footie

Blues players bleaching their hair isn't helping the commentators. Noticed several times how they confused Rieko, Sotutu and even Akira (whose hair is pink).

It's not that hard. They have numbers.

[Machpants]

@Stargazer old white men commentators confusing people of colour, you know it will be a headline soon

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph Yeah, that should help when the numbers are actually visibile, but that's not always the case.

Don't they know that the commentators need every player to have a distinct hair style to correctly identify them? There numbers on their jerseys are meaningless!
