How the hell did Auckland Rugby not hang onto Felix Kalapu ..?,but somehow manage to extract a very average lock out of Sydney Club Rugby
Kalapu has got genuine physicality to go with his superb lineout work -

Not sure where Big Red sits in the Blues plans now.
I imagine he'll start at 6 next week with Hoskins rested and Akira at 8.

He has had a couple of light weeks. Just load balancing between players?

Edit - sorry I thought you meant Hoskins.
Yeah bit weird how Leon is preferring two starting 7s.

@KiwiMurph with 24 contracted PUD contracted players that won the Super Rugby U20 comp in Taupo you would hope they have the ability snare the best ones from that lot

Especially given their lock and lineout options.

@KiwiMurph So where is Auckland Rugby's favourite number 8 these days? Thought he'd have kitted up for the Force today?

Kalapu has got genuine physicality to go with his superb lineout workAlama was obsessed with making stunt selections. It worked with Olmstead and no one else. The shit Aussies last year, the AFL guy etc

Evans got through a fair bit of work on d in his time on there

Perofeta runs the cutter with so much more control than BB these days. With the Blues firepower out wide, I would have thought he is just what the team needs at pivot. Control with the punch if you know what I mean.

It's obvious to everyone except the head coach.

@Duluth Had to laugh when I saw our favourite lock in the Reds match day 23. He's barely club rugby level.

The way TJ commentates you'd think the Force were ahead by 13. Such a muppet.
But today it seemed to be balanced out by KT’s over exuberance for all things Blues

Well that was was a horrible watch. Positves = Blues will be relieved to get the W and AB rest week out of the way with no other major injuries.
SP and Choat were Blues best by a mile. Sullivan with some nice touches. Telea had a mixed afternoon, lovely scything runs and then tits for hands. Eklund couldn't find let alone hit a barn door. The try from JRK was a goodie. Flush the dunny and move on. Roll on the Chiefs.
