Blues v Brumbies

[Sapetyvi]

They have it in all major sports in the states, NHL even allowed a fan vote and a goon got voted in so not too sure if they will allow it in the future tho. <br><br>
Even Finnish baseball has an All-Star weekend where there are multiple skills competitions and mens, womens, junior men and womens game. It is a huge revenue generator, as it is always sold out and televised on pay channel. Fans love it, players propably love it, but coaches/club owners dont necessarily want to see their players leave mid season for a weekend of piss and injury risks. <br><br>
Very hard to see people turning up for only the skills comp, so has to be a game of sorts too, so that is where the injury risks come, as rugby is hard to play without proper contact

<p>Maybe it is last chance for Duffie as they know what Visinia can do.</p>

<p>Hope that is not Tana's logic.  Thats warp.  Duffie has shown nothing except for catching that cross kick last week.  Stop me.  He has made youtube several times for being brushed off in the tackle.  Must look good in practice because he is shit on the field.  Visinia offers a 100 percent improvement.</p>

<p>NIce play to open the scoring by the Blues after constantly pressuring the Brumbies</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>fuck that was too easy for Parsons there.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>Duffies knowledge of the rules exposed.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>WTF! Penalty try and yellow for Kaino.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>Kaino concedes a YC and a PT from a 20m maul from the Brumbies...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>14-7</p>

Blues forward pack: "I can't believe it's not butter."

[mimic]

I remember Australia did something like that with league, rugby and other codes..<br><br>
Edit: in response to speed comps

[taniwharugby]

<p>what a try, some brilliant hands (and luck) and off loads</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Looks like I totally underestimated the Blues and overestimated the Brumbies.</p>

[Tim]

Where's the fucking yellow card for taking out the halfback from an offside position, you absolute fluffybunny?

[Donsteppa]

Mauling aside, looks a bloody good Blues side tonight.

[kiwiinmelb]

Has anyone told the Blues they are a man down

[taniwharugby]

<p>Pryor into everything again...noticable a couple of rucks he simply heads to the backline rather than to the forwards.</p>

[Donsteppa]

Where's this Blues side been in the first half of the season?

[taniwharugby]

<p>bit of an 'elbow charge' there to knock Nanai over</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Duffie in now</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Bonus point for the Blues after 20 minutes? That's if they keep the 3-0 try margin like this ..</p>
<p>And Kaino is still in the bin.</p>

[Tim]

Fucking hell. This is magic.

[taniwharugby]

<p>Brumbies should do a lineout drive from thier own half</p>
