Blues v Cheetahs

[Stargazer]

Not saying that Hodgeman should have received a yellow for that deliberate knock-down, but it kind of shows how stupid it was that Beauden Barrett has received 3 yellow cards for the same offence. Last week there was another one that didn't get a card (forgot in which game). Inconsistent officiating.

Great work from TJ Faiane.

Lol @ Goldie criticising nanai.. maybe he's speaking from experience after gregan

[Tim]

Advantage?

[Damo]

That's play on for me.

@KiwiMurph said in Blues v Cheetahs:

@African-Monkey its very frustrating. They just straight up are not fit enough.

They used to use that real hard ass S&C coach whose name I can't remember but when he left they promoted his assistant who had joined the team as an intern. Maybe it is his inexperience coming through, not knowing the levels needed?

[African Monkey]

Good reffing there. Definitely not a penalty.

[taniwharugby]

head clash there, slightly high maybe, pen only

It looked to me like PT was actually run into after being set and tried to turn from the impact.

[Tim]

Good decision buddy.

[Tim]

They all look the same?

[Crucial]

Those fellas all look the same eh? Quick, let's get offended!

[Damo]

Does Moala ever pass the ball in open space? I've seen him offload a few times but I can't recall him ever just passing the ball.

[Tim]

Can we get Adrian Smith in to replace Faiva?

[Tim]

Yeah that maul defence might be a problem.

[Tordah]

third maul try. Blues so shit at defending it, Cheetahs good at exploiting shit rugby laws

[Crucial]

Every team that plays the Blues must love it when they get the chance of a maul drive.

Not enough leg work in defending. Dare I say it but it is indicative of players that spend their formative years capitalising on their upper body strength.

[African Monkey]

We'll have problems next week in Cape Town with the rolling maul which could prove our downfall.

[Tim]

Think we lost a lot of shape when Francis went off.

[Tim]

Is Gibson lacking in his linking game, or do the Blues play such unstructured rugby that it's hard to do?
