Dalton failed HIA

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

Ofa should still be suspended for his sickening shoulder charge to Millar's head.

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

He was never getting an AB jersey this season

He was a possibility IMO.

The moment Christie came back at 9 he wasn't

eyeroll

[Bovidae]

Doleman lets everything go so the breakdown becomes a mess.

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

They haven’t come up against the Canes with Lomax yet… oh wait they did in Wellington.

Whilst we are talking about context

The game where Blues picked a 6-2 bench and had 2 backs go off with injuries in the first 20 mins and Funaki had to play wing?

[antipodean]

Not a good performance by the Blues. A number of players deciding to have shockers in the pressure of a semi-final.

That affected their scrum?

What about when we nearly beat you at Eden Park after losing our three best players right before kick off. No one mentions that.

[Bones]

Apart from the leadup to the last blues try, Funaki was pretty bad.

RIP Muirhead, players that take a quick tap then kick it get shot. If the kick was useless and aimless they get their testicles hung at the club gates.

Ofa not playing did

[Bones]

Whoever was the captain for that easy 3 penalty when the blues decided they'd kick to the corner, should not be captain next week.

Lol Funaki yeets it 5m forward and its Blues ball?

And missed by the same AR again. I don't think he made one correct decision in this game.

I’m loving everyone righting off the Canes who have already beaten the Blues and Chiefs (twice) already this season.

Blues deserved their win tonight but they are beatable.

[Tim]

Hey can anyone desperately post more about the Hurricanes in this thread? I'm really missing that today. I hate when teams other than the Canes get discussed.

Everyone writing off the Canes? Huh?

Canes are favs in my eyes

but I wouldn't use round 3 game in Wellington as the reason why

Lol I’m not. Anyway I won’t clog this thread up with this chat. Will wait until next week if we get through.

These ARs wouldn't get a gig in 2nd Division Sydney Subbies

Frost's yellow card is fine.

Especially with Plummer tripping Muirhead earlier in the game and getting zero sanction

[Kirwan]

Pretty happy to win (easily) playing well for 30mins.

Best scrum and defence in the competition.

[Kirwan]

Hopefully the Canes players aren’t as complacent as some of their fans, but feel happy with either team.

Be nice to have the final in the Garden of Eden to send off Akira.
