@steven-harris that was a hell of a restart by White to be fair.

Master stroke from Patty T not taking that kick off receive and then the Brumbies player knocking it straight back into the hands of Sotutu and 80 metres later Christie scores ..does that sum up Blues ..?‍️

It's like chess. You just can't comprehend how far ahead the best players are thinking

[Steven Harris]

@kiwimurph ,it’s was a great kick off ,but the resulting play pretty much sums as a supporter what the are and are not capable of ..

[KiwiMurph]

@steven-harris yeah. They've been pretty average in both first halves in the 2 earlier games too.

@nzzp broke down and bought Florugby subscription in the states. VIP box was a mess. Good to be able to watch a game without worrying about the feed dropping. Who said this would be the first loss?

[KiwiMurph]

Time to hook Renata.

[Tim]

Three penalties against Renata. Macdonald, you know you have Laulala, right?

[broughie]

@kiwimurph time to hook the ref. That pass was forward before the Paps penalty.

Mafileo was our unsung hero last week - keeping Sio straight and up is a trick

[Gunner]

Last 2 scrums penalties against the Blues.

Can anyone more educated in front row play than me tell me why?

First one looked like the Brumbie loose head bored in, next one, im f’d if I saw anything wrong except a collapse on the hit from both sides.

Fuck scrum penalties are dumb!

[taniwharugby]

I know they are both gingers, but they don't really look alike...

Yep Mafileo has always been a good scrummager. Renata has always been suspect.

Well basically, the guy with the whistle blows it, then one of his hand goes and points upwards and toward one goal line.

Hope that was informative enough

[taniwharugby]

Looked like Lam pushed that brumby ala Rayasi

[Steven Harris]

Pinpoint kick from Otere Black to Tom Wright..

[Tim]

Good reward for Heem. He puts everything into it.

He is okay when a pack is dominating. Otherwise he is tits.

[taniwharugby]

Heem playing well, better than he did previously

Apart from that one bad drop, he’s been good. I think his size helps a lot too in balancing things for that back line.

[Steven Harris]

2 pieces of great work from the pack Laulala with the hit ,and some superb counter ruck work
