Blues v Highlanders

[mimic]

West with another drop

[mariner4life]

Wrst at the back is the Highlanders best player

[antipodean]

No clear release. Not supporting himself. How is that a penalty?

[KiwiMurph]

Blues dont seem to have a game plan

[mariner4life]

Every blues lineout is short, what the fuck was that last one?

[hydro11]

Gareth Evans has had a monster game to this point.

[Hooroo]

@mariner4life said in Blues v Highlanders:

@Stargazer Buckman is so average. He's an honest trier, but he just doesn't have it.

I completely disagree. I think he is fucking solid. Maybe not at fullback but.

Not having a fabulous game tonight mind you

[Tim]

What does Tupou bring to the Blues? Coach's pet is pretty average.

[mariner4life]

That throw was short as well. Parsons is having a mare

[Bones]

This constant kicking away of front foot attacking ball from the highlanders this year is frustrating as fuck.

[KiwiMurph]

Duffie has been good i dont get the hate.

[taniwharugby]

West and Parsons off soon...

[taniwharugby]

great time for a hooker to come on, straight to a lineout

[antipodean]

WTF was that West?

Because apart from dropping the ball, all he's done is transmit pressure to other players or think he's still playing league and submitting in tackles.

[taniwharugby]

very short advantage, but good call by Jackson for it

[mariner4life]

The Blues are really poor. Set piece, tactics, errors, all poor.

They're in this game though because the Highlanders aren't doing anything to kill them off.

[antipodean]

Huge tackle by Tu'ungafasi.

I think the jury is in, West hasn't been hampered by a lack of quality halfbacks in Auckland, he's just shit.

[taniwharugby]

how did Jackson not see Gibsons elbows on the ground there??

[Stargazer]

@antipodean Yet, the Blues are still in this game because he scored all their 9 points. Agree he hasn't been playing well today, though.
