Hurricanes v Blues
-
I think these are the main selection questions for the Blues for this match
- Who starts between Hodgman & Tu’inukuafe
- Which loose forward misses out on the 23, one of Sotutu/Ioane/Robinson?
- Who are the two halfbacks (although I suspect Christie is the starter)?
- Plummer v Tele'a
- Who starts and who is on the bench between Sullivan and Perofeta
-
Cross to Canberra and Morgan Turunui obviously bulking up to play prop in club rugby.

@bones what you on about? Aumua wasn’t held, Clarke was.
He's crawling along the ground. Never got to his feet. Several blues could have jumped on him, but then would have got penalised for diving on a player on the ground. It's simple, go to ground, release the ball.
If we want players to release the tackled player, then the tackled player can't crawl along the ground.

There is no way in the world the crusaders would butcher opportunities like we have just seen ..that’s why we may as well give them the trophy now ..and the other 4 can play for the 1st loser Super Rugby Aotearoa..

Crusaders backs were off last night too, and they didn't take control until well into the 2nd half.
@tim I agree with you , but you just the impression when it comes getting across the line , you would back them to make the correct decisions

Ummm... what was he doing then? Does he normally run with his hands and knees on the ground?

Ffs Blackwell

Caleb Clark would be the most relieved person

Ugghh, Blackwell.
Kirifi replaces Fifita, so I assume Flanders to 6 and Ardie to 8.
Dumb play by Kirifi to start

Blackwell's playing like crap but Fifita is off so he will stay on the full match

Looping lineout throws like Eklund's are too easy to pick off. They're in the air for too long.

@steven-harris Yeah, you always have confidence in the Crusaders to get it together.
