Blues v Highlanders

[Landers92]

Jeez Te Hiwi leaves me scratching my head so often. That floating pass out of half back killed any chance of a counter attack from swinging it back to the other side of the field. So many options and he floats a rainbow hospital ball to Stodart……. I give him the benefit of the doubt because he’s young but man, this is super rugby.

Is Eklund big enough for test rugby?

[Gunner]

The more I see of Corey Evans the more I like what I see, he’s a classy player with a good set of skills.

[Tim]

@Bones Probably not. Great to see him throwing well again.

[KiwiMurph]

Good clearance from Plummer

I’d say he his. He’s not exactly small. Problem for him is I think he’s about 32

[Mattasaurus]

Would like to get a replay of the hit on Cam Millar....

[Bones]

Yeah not a great look for Ofa

[Mattasaurus]

How was it missed?

[African Monkey]

@Bones How was that missed?

[Damo]

Ofa should be off.

At least 3 weeks on the sidelines for that. Possibly a few more. Ugly stuff

[Tim]

@Bones I missed the replay. Citing coming?

Definitely.

Red card even 15 years ago.

Yeah Ofa standing upright, throws a neat little shoulder into Millars face.

[Landers92]

Landers gone into their shell and given up. This could get ugly(if it isn’t already ugly enough).

[KiwiMurph]

Strength from Clarke and Funaki

[Bones]

Blues have certainly sped up since Funaki came on. He's a level above Fakatava

[African Monkey]

Could be a big loss for next week losing Ofa with how well Newell went at scrum time.

To be fair, the Blues have been pretty ruthless in the 2nd half and just worn the Highlanders down.

[Tim]

Blues had no one up for that kick off. Very obvious.
