SR Final - Blues v Chiefs

Super Rugby need more of this. Engage the fans via traditional media and social media. Blues do a nice job on this - need more teams to follow.

Helpfully, it's a style that would win world cups as well.
You and (bizarrely) @canefan are getting carried away with this in a couple of threads - I'll eat your regurgitated hat if the blues can find a way to even enter a world cup, let alone win it.

@nzzp how was the atmosphere at the ground? Looked really good on TV despite the weather. Cool halftime show.

weather subdued it a bit, but definitely vocal at the right times.

@canefan enjoy the win, the blues had a fucking awesome season and it's been pretty to watch too. You should be proud.
But they weren't playing against international sides.

The point you are missing is we want the ABs to pick a powerful forward pack and play close before going wide.
Instead of the fluffy flair oriented crap from the past four years.

Any other stats people are interested in?
I'll post them up eventually.. this thread will stay alive a long time
@Duluth Put it all up mate, the more I think about the win, the happier I get, keep 'em coming!

Problem is I live in AKL, but I'm a Canes fan (you know, @canefan?

I don't know where I said otherwise.

Well that’s what we were talking about, how about you explain why the Blues game plan wouldn’t work at international level.
Or explain what your post meant. Or keep replying to points nobody is making.

@Bones said in SR Final - Blues v Chiefs:
A better way to put it - the blues are playing world cup winning rugby just as much as Leinster and La Rochelle were last year.
Nope. The Blues are playing a style that will translate well into test level. It is a classic style that has served the ABs in the past, and will do so again. How is that difficult to understand, or are you deliberately trying to troll us?

Only about the 3rd game I watched all season but blues were excellent to a man. Fantastic display and just wiped the floor with the chiefs.

Kicking metres:
Different kicking tactics from the teams. Total kick metres was similar but the Blues used the halfbacks more (which makes sense given the weather) and the Chiefs relied heavily on McKenzie
Also, a few more attacking kicks adding to the variety
