Blues v Hurricanes
-
Pretty good game so far even though it got a bit messy.
BB probably deserved the card for offside playing the halfback while Blues in a good position but im sure the story all week will be about BB getting another card for a deliberate knock on.SBW with the nice break but he should have given it to Nanai. The rest of his play has been forgettable. Looks like he is trying to force it a bit.
Nanai is having a bloody good season. I said in the ABs centres thread that Rieko might get into the squad if NMS, Dagg or Naholo don't come back from injury in time. But maybe Nanai would be a bolter if a wing spot opens up. He offers the wing/fullback the selectors like but in an 11s body.
Duffy looking good again too.

Hmmm, after that replay, I'm not so sure that was worth a yellow.
Clear YC. You can't knock the ball out of a halfbacks hands like that, particularly when your defence is back-pedalling. Professional foul.
Did he knock the ball or was it Pulu's arm?

Doesn't matter. He can't play the halfback if he's involved in the ruck.

Doesn't matter - you can't play the halfback and he was off his feet.

pretty strong passage of defence by canes and equally good grind by Blues.

Just clarifying that he didn't knock the ball.

@antipodean But that was not why he was yellow carded, was he?

@Kirwan not that it matters, but the hit on the arm dislodged the ball, he didnt play at the ball as the ref suggested....

The angle they showed at half time showed he did hit the ball
