    @antipodean TBF I think he was positioned too shallow to do so, tight on the posts so there was a risk of a charge down, maybe didnt expect to be the one clearing?

    @taniwharugby true, he did look poorly positioned for it. But I'd expect he'd be the designated kicker on that side of the park.

    The rest of his game has been an improvement on last week. Caveat of the Force...

          Just too easy, Paps, then Akira just blowing through in contact, leaving their line totally fractured

            Dalton and Akira prominent in the carrying again. They’ve beaten 8 defenders each tonight

              Paul Cully posted on twitter recently that'd he like to see Evans at the Highlanders. Would be a great signing for them, but he'll probably get a lot of game time next year.

                  News on Perofeta: bruised shoulder, so four to six weeks out.

                  Maybe back for the Reds?

                          I spotted him doing that a few times off the ball, not subtle

                            Where’s the penalty for that language?

                                Good victory to the Blues.
                                Defence solid and well structured - Force didn't test it very severely, and they ran out of ideas in about the 7th min.

                                Attack had some very nice interplay particularly amount the loosies.

                                  Glad we didn't concede a try.

                                  We've conceded 27 points in the last 4 games.

                                    Coventry is a good forwards coach but it's been impressive watching Cotter shape this Blues pack.

                                      @KiwiMurph Huge improvement from Renata. Prior to this season I'd have thought he'd be struggling to get a contract.

                                        @Tim He's been around for ages and only just been given a regular look in this year.

                                        Persistence pays off.
