@Chris said in Force v Blues:

Sure seems all the NZ teams so far have dropped their standards since playing the Aussie teams.

Ref is the only reason this game is close.

I love this defense.

@Chris Happened a bit last year too. Also, the Aussie teams aren't THAT bad either.

[African Monkey]

Probably a yellow for Eklund here.

Yeah but a lot of mistakes by all the NZ teams
Blues didn’t play well last week against the Dura.
All the NZ teams haven’t played that well in my opinion.

[Kirwan]

If that’s a card, completely bullshit.

Commentators are waahing on about it now, but they’re right, it is a difference between recent Blues teams and this year.

Holy shit, common sense might apply.

Jesus, as if the refereeing isn't bad enough, the TMO engages "hold my beer" mode. The game is royally fucked.

@Kirwan At the same time we should have come away with a try when we were down there. That was down to us.

Did he just pass to Kahui?

[KiwiMurph]

@antipodean yes

[number9]

This ref has kept the Force in the game, fucken ridiculous.

[KiwiMurph]

This is a tough watch

[African Monkey]

@number9 Has he? Don't think Gardiner has been too bad personally or am I on my own there?

He's been bad but Blues have also been sloppy. Both are true.

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph Think our own sloppiness has contributed to this game being this close.
