    NZ conference is awesome that was 1 v 5, and there was nothing in it.

      Geez, that game had me on the edge of my seat. So close. Abbott should be the Man of the Match.

      Abbott was great but Barrett scored a try and set one up which almost no one in the team could have done. That's the point of difference he provides.

        Was a good game for a relative neutral to watch. Lot's of good attacking play.

          Blues are actually a pretty decent team, but they've gone down again in a derby game.

          It seems like a mental thing now, they just don't know how to win these games.

          Funny thing is, they'd probably easily be one of the top 8 teams in the comp, but they won't go close to the playoffs!

            Barrett was the difference. Gawd I wish we had a top notch 10.

                  As far as I'm concerned, good riddance to Piers Francis. Nothing against him personally, but it's a joke that a NZ franchise has to resort to the journiest of journeymen English 1st fives.

                  If TJP & BB stay injury free, the Lions will have nightmares.

                  Hopefully Fatiolofa injury is not too severe. Great game from Abbott.

                          It's so obvious that the Blues are missing a quality five-eighth.

                              With the Naki now part of the Chiefs, no team aside from the Crusaders start a 10 from inside their franchise borders. Clearly the Blues need to poach better. 🙂

                                Blues are definitely better ,

                                Listening to them trying to put the daggers into tana today on radio sport was unfair I thought ,

                                  If any game showed the importance of a class 10 it was that one. You swap 10s and Blues win that game.

                                  Awesome game to watch though. How quiet was the bus?

                                        Yep, unfair to judge them really until seasons end when they have had thier shot at some foreign teams, as @gunner said above, they are easily a top 8 team, but have to play the 4 top 5 teams home and away....

                                          Scrums even, we had their lineout, got plenty of turnovers.

                                          But we also bombed trys and BB was BB.

                                          We are a good side, just the NZ sides are a little better. I'm confident against any Oz or SA side.
