    Haha that was hilarious, Caleb Clarke is all class.

    Bluesers made it VERY hard for themselves, it's like Carlos Spencer was coaching - the soft, the brainless, the ridiculous and the sublime.

    Fuck the Reds.

          He took a pass and got tackled into touch? Get some perspective.

            Felt the Reds blew it by going for the 3 with 7 minutes to go. They could have buried us if they had scored a try then and extended the lead by more than 7 points.

              @kev lol that’s twenty mins ago. The games over now. A good halfback would have kept it in.

                  @akan004 yeah I thought that aswell, they should have gone for the try and if they didn’t get it they would still have been at the right end of the field.

                    That was some catastrophic end of game management from the Reds. Were all over the Blues and then gifted them a try from a boxkick where they had knock-on advantage and then took the 3 with a yellow card warning. Dumb stuff.

                      He got tackled into touch when he received the pass. So when Sotutu drops the ball on the kickoff and then steps into touch on another (leading to points) is he also useless and dumb? The SF mafia.

                              It's also bordering on criminal that Vunivalu gets selected as a player of rugby.

                                @African-Monkey that is a sacred call that has but a few appropriate uses, this isn't one.

                                    Easy to get lost in all the mayhem but I thought McWhannell was strong from the bench. Smashed Wilson in one tackle. He is physical and accurate.

                                    Darry played ok I thought but there was a noticeable shift when McWhannell came on.

                                      @KiwiMurph Thompson stole a crucial lineout in there too. As you said, McWhannell is very good in the collision. We have some good locks at our disposal when it looked like it could have been a problematic area for us over the last year or two.

                                      Was nervous when Nock came on but he did well and kept the tempo up.

                                      Clarke continues to go from strength to strength, how good was he off the bench!

                                      Eklund actually went quite well apart from getting hit by Fa'agase early. Hard to tell who should be in the matchday 23 between him and Vikena, but Eklund was the better one tonight.

                                      Cole Forbes has been a brilliant signing. I didn't know a lot about him, but he's a very well rounded player, does his core roles very well and is very good as a 2nd playmaker and also a good runner of the ball to. There doesn't look like much to him, but he is hard to put down and is very reliable in the air. Scotland should have capped him haha.

                                      Scrum went well , Renata has improved massively under Cotter and Fusitu'a is coming along nicely.

                                      Funaki again, WOW! The guy is everywhere. Am I going over the top in suggesting that he's worth ABs consideration?
