      Interesting that Robinson doesn't get a start when Sotutu is resting and Akira is still injured. Another sign that they are moving on from him (which makes sense as he's leaving at the end of the year)

      All 3 loosies best position is openside

          That's a strong Rebels starting XV. Not sure 13 is Kellaway's best position.

          Rebels will be eyeing up a scalp.

            I would expect a rugby team to be trying to win, so well yes.

            McDonald's Blues record against the Force is pretty impressive, and the Blues have named a strong side here. I'm very confident.

              Ili got injured, last week, so maybe this is their best alternative?

                  I assume you mean the Rebels.

                  My point is I think this Rebels team is a lot better than the rabble the Blues have smashed in recent seasons.

                    These rest weeks for part-time All Blacks - Sotutu, Perofeta - are kind of stupid.

                    Would have like to have seen Beauden Barret at 15 (where he actually plays for the ABs) and the more solid (hopefully) Perofeta at 10.

                        “A schoolboy error”. Bet there are plenty of schoolboys in Rugby at the moment shaking their heads in disagreement

                            The Blues are paying $1.13. Should be an easy 20 point win.

                                Interesting that Robinson doesn't get a start when Sotutu is resting and Akira is still injured. Another sign that they are moving on from him (which makes sense as he's leaving at the end of the year)

                                All 3 loosies best position is openside

                                        This has banana skin written all over it.

                                        The Blues need to make a statement in this one with a thumping. Still can’t believe Barrett gets
                                        the nod at 10.
