Hurricanes vs Blues

Blues tight five is mud. A toddler couldn't drown in their hooker depth.

Kirwan

Messy end to the half.

African Monkey

@antipodean It's our 2nd string tight 5 to be fair.

Good game this. The Hurricanes ahead by ten at the break, but I'm still nervous.

African Monkey

Ta'avao and Lay need to come on to hold up the scrum.

antipodean

Papali'i lucky not to be carded there. Deliberately interfered with the ball on the wrong side of the ruck.

Winger

Lakai is having an outstanding game

Blues definitely missing their better locks to be sure.

I don't mind the ref missing it, but that's in front of the AR.

African Monkey

@Winger He's strong in contact. I like him.

Canes should be further ahead

Cameron is a frustrating player to watch. Some VG play but can have games where there's too much of ordinary or poor

Bovidae

Unfortunately for the Blues the 6:2 split has backfired so far.

Funaki and Telea are regularly swapping positions so Funaki is usually on the blindside wing.

There are a bunch of very ordinary 10s in NZ aren't there?

With Roigard, Ratima, Viljoen and Fakatava a steady pair of hands and a good boot is all you need

Starting to rain now. Could be a dog fight in the second half.

Fish! & CJ!!

Weird to think they're both more coherent than the interviewer

Yeah struggling to understand what the thinking was behind the 6/2 split.
