    How pedestrian is Lolesio. Stifles good ball time and time again.

    Best 10 in Aus too

    Surely Schmidt will see through that.

    Carter Gordon has all the tools to be a class international 10. I’d even take a punt on Lynagh’s kid before going back to Lolesio.

    Can't imagine Gordon's getting selected now...

    Really a three-horse race between Lolesio, Donaldson and Lynagh.

      Take the 3.

      Nah - stay at this end of the field while they're a man down and close out the game. Don't invite them into your own half.

      There's a place for that. However not in that situation.

      if you are 14 points up with 10 to go the play is to take the relatively easy 3 and put it beyond 2 converted tries.

      A miss = a 22 drop out too so low risk

        Nah it's a terrible move. If you score and then the Brumbies score, they still need two scores and the ball is in your half anyway from the kickoff. It's all downside, and no upside.

            That could be massive for next week. Imagine if the Blues lost Ofa aswell.

              I think Funaki has played his way out of a potential ABs jersey tonight. His decision making has been very poor.

                    And player dived on ball emerging from the ruck, also penalty. Ref is clueless

                      He was never getting an AB jersey this season

                        Beehre is highly impressive for a rookie

                          Eklund is really really bad. Cant believe he's been re-signed

                            Blues have turned to shit this half. A bit like the Chiefs last week after dominating the first half.

                              Try to hold the ball challenge.

                                Is that one of the smallest semi final crowds at Eden Park?

                                  @Canes4life Might as well cruise once the game is won.

                                    He was a possibility IMO.

                                      So I wonder if Dalton will be around next week? Also Akira did not look comfortable going off

                                        I think the Blues will be hard to beat in the final. Their scrum is intimidating and defence is very strong.

                                        I have them as favourites.
