        @Duluth stats tackle check please

        Dalton 14 no misses
        2nd for the Blues is Hoskins with 9 and 2 misses

        Highlanders have made shitloads

        Pretty sure the landers front row had 15ish each after 50mins ..... lack of possession does that i guess

          That was pretty dumb by Nock, especially when you consider how unnecessary it was.

              This Blues side looks very patient, very fit and have a game plan that suits their excellent forwards.

                  Possession is part of that but also the Blues pick and goes rack up the numbers fast

                    Highlanders much improved over last year, but forwards are vulnerable

                      Even then the Landers 1st receiver was looking for the cross field kick. Why?

                      Excellent 2nd 40 from the Blues.

                              Highlanders probably good for a couple of upsets this year.

                                Sweet set move in the first half for the offload try

                                  Totally. If we can sort out our breakdown (need to balance the loose forward trio) we'll keep more ball, concede less penalties and less points.

                                    Am I allowed to say I was robbed. I had Blues by 9=16, he needed to miss that last conversion!
                                    I will say I enjoyed it in all honesty, it was ok. The Blues were what Cotter talked about , seemed to make sure they did ok in the phisical stuff.

                                      Definitely a contender for worst commentary performance in super rugby history... and that bar was already low.... but I think they may have got it.

                                        Good effort from the Landers. Poor goalkicking and the try and YC before halftime changed the game.

                                        Blues good in patches today. Restarts could be better along with other parts of their game but it is early in the season and I do think the Blues will get better.
