    Also it's not like he's always been playing like this. I used to think he was a bit flakey, particularly when kicked too.

    Something changed last year and his error rate dropped and at the same time he's become more of a threat.

    @Duluth Good point - a few years ago George Bridge absolutely schooled Telea in the air. He's gotten better every year.

      It's still something that I think will get really tested again, especially if he ends up in the ABs.

        Brumbies have always been an awkward side for the Blues

        Blues have never won 4 in a row against them. All other NZ sides have a longer winning streak vs Brumbies

            It was named a day ago, there's a post further up in this thread

            They just didn't bother updating their website until today

              @Duluth I've been keeping an eye on their website and socials, and they hadn't published it before. The source for that earlier squad must have been the one submitted to SANZAAR and published somewhere else. It also wasn't on the rugby.com.au website before.

              There's probably a reason why the title of their media release contains the word "confirm".

                @Stargazer I found that earlier team list on 'The Roar' site. They have a history of occasionally posting teams the day before the official release, even NZ teams.

                  Today will be an interesting test of the new approach to speed up the game.

                  It will be 30+ degrees by kickoff and in the direct sun - there will be temptation for a lot of stoppages.

                      it's a good idea in principle - but travel is $$$ at the moment, and this does not feel well promoted. But you need a weekend of good rugby to make it work, and fans keen enough to sit through 4-5 games over a few days.

                      Go the Blues. Important to get this win and keep going

                        Poor Blues discipline.

                        A real common feature under Leon.

                                FFS. Don't known why I bother watching. I do not want to watch a game with players in the bin.

                                      Nicely done Blues with 13 men.

                                      10-7.
