        Yeah save that for the parenting thread.

        Looked like a nice night in Orcs in the end.

          Nope, aren't they both North Island? Auckland and Hawkes Bay?

            Blues kicking was superb. If we stop giving away offensive penalties it's going to be hard to beat these lads. Great to see them, I'm still stoked. 3-0 against NZ sides, the monkey is well and truly off our backs. In previous years we lose that game through brain explosions

              Fun game invented tonight. Put yourself in rented accomodation with no sky, and try and follow a Super Rugby game from the Fern comments alone.

              It's not bloody easy! Not one of you pricks has posted a scoreline, it's just Parsons this, Hunt that, Sotutu did something good then something bad but someone else had better hair dye.

              Lift your games!

              Blues 27 v Highlanders 24. 78 minute mark, Blues 5m defensive scrum.

                        I did have a look at a live update about half time to be fair - but it was actually more fun to pseudo-follow the game from you lot!

                          Could ( should?) have been worse.

                          Landers showing quite a lot when they're not making elementary errors. Far better than I thought they'd be given the personnel.

                          8 and 6 continue to impress. Ioane back soon please.

                          Gave the ladder leaders a real fright and a glance of the recent past malaise after halftime, then that northlander dropped his 30th and last high ball and the momentum shifted, again.

                          Good game, saw some good loosies from both teams.

                          Fair dues blues - a draw may have spun an accurate narrative, or if a pro footballer could kick one from in front🤨

                              Why is BB attempting drop goals under penalty advantage? Wouldn't they be better off going for the try.

                                    Not sure why they play Gregory at the back, hes versatile but he struggled at the back in NPC, looks much more assured and dangerous at 12.

                                        @Toddy Maybe he's still trying to prove that he can kick droppies after the criticism from (mostly NH) scribes last year (or was it in 2018?) that he can't kick them?

                                          Struggling to think what Parsons adds?

                                          Accurate lineout throwing, generally soudn defense, reasonable scrummager. Low mistakes when not overplaying his hand offensively 🙂
