Blues by 999.
999MB aka Tom Robinson's band? ("999MB because we can't get a gig")
@kiwimurph the law of unintended consequences.

I like that side. Some consistency as well as building depth with Tucker getting a start and Evans & Funaki on the bench

yeah. He should be solid, and not stuff up too much.
Poor RTS; such an unlucky start to his pro rugby career. We were light on 12 anyway

I like him but I feared this might happen to RTS. I remember thinking he was injury prone at the Warriors the last couple of years.

When did James Tucker come into the squad? Pity his little bro isn't marking him.

He was in the original squad. I think he might've been injured (yet again) at the start of the season

He played the last game at 12 too
He went ok, I'd like to see him distribute more this game. In the last match he would just tuck it up and run straight.
When the Blues got the ball wide it was actually going out the back straight to RI. He had a quiet game in terms of his own carries but had some beautiful short passes to put the wingers in space
That's a fast midfield
Big chance for Evans off the bench. A lot of people seem to rate him. I haven't seen enough to have an opinion though

He’s in the northern hemisphere so all upside down!

I was curious as to Will Tuckers' whereabouts actually. I see Otago have re-signed him and he's played/playing some MLR for RNY. That took me to the team roster and I was suprised how many Kiwis / familiar names there were in that squad. We all knew about Andy Ellis' little sojourn, but aside from Tucker they also have Brendan O'Connor, Jason Emery, Ed Fidow (brother of?) and Nick Mayhew.
That took me to their merch and it's really fucking cool. All of the jerseys - home, away, neighborhoods and heritage (love it when the team is only a few years old) - are really sweet. This might be the clincher: now they have a Bedean in their midst, along with the great clobber and having been to NYC, maybe I have a team to support.
