    Sevu Reece is so active. I’m still surprised he wasn’t used a lot in the last EOY tour. I’m a blues supporter but I like him more than Clarke as an AB.

    Clarke, outside of that one game versus Oz, has been nothing. Look at the scoring rate for SR and ABs, Reece miles ahead.

            I wonder whether we could use Jordan and Telea as our first choice wings?

            Sevu is good - but, he's a bit unpredictable - both for the opposition and his team mates.

            Telea is pretty close to a power wing if he can play on the left. He's got to be more than the 94kgs he's listed at.

                      @Machpants Totally. Reece doesn’t seem to make horrid decisions either. Not sure the same could be said for Clarke. But he is a selectors fav so I’m not sure they see his failings.

                        Blues finding big gaps quite a few times, Crusaders basically just need to not kick the ball away. Looking at you, Ritchie.

                        Scrums are awesome, the Blues were supposed to be much better than this.

                        McLeod, Blackadder, Whitelock, Mo'unga, Reece looking shit hot. Codie Taylor not.

                                        Nah not with foster, he will stick with tried and tested(not really tried and true, with many of them). And being gone post RWC he has less than zero interest in growing the team for the future. It's going too bea huge clean out next year, I reckon we'll go down before we go back up
