@tim there is a live steam through the Blues F/B SBI productions,I wonder if they need a commentator..?,lol

Bloody hell, found the stream only to informed that it is limited to NZ audiences only due to licencing restrictions.

And here I was, boss free for the day thinking... "Hell yeah, get in a bit of S15 pre-season whilst sitting at the desk with the feet up".

Go the Blues. After so many challenging years as a Blues supporter, I don't want to get my hopes up but right now things are looks as bright as they have in many years.

Cheers

15 minutes until kick off very big crowd,field in excellent condition,28.5 degrees,should’nt be too much of an issue given where they were last weekend

[Steven Harris]

8 m good lead up work from Canes forwards results in an attacking scrum from which Perenara exploits on the blindside Canes lead 5-0

[Steven Harris]

13 min,great turnover from Dalton Papalii results in a great little chip through which sees Matt Duffie score just ahead of Laumapi ,Gatland converts Blues 7-5

[Steven Harris]

17m Murphy Taramai on for Dalton Papalii

[KiwiMurph]

@steven-harris injury?

[Steven Harris]

@kiwimurph unsure will check at halftime

[Duluth]

@kiwimurph

Commentary on the stream said they are just managing the workload of guys like Dalton and Taramai that played a lot at the 10's

[KiwiMurph]

cheers guys - the updates are great.

[Steven Harris]

22m George Moala on for TJ Faine

[Steven Harris]

26m a couple of observations;Canes look to have the stronger scrum,TJ Perenara looking classy.

[Steven Harris]

31m Matt Proctor scores after some brilliant work from the Canes forwards especially,converted by Ihaia West,Canes back in front 12-7.

[Steven Harris]

35m Melanie Nanai blows an opportunity for the Blues to hit back with the line open,drops the ball with the line open,need a spade to dig a hole in the ground for somewhere to hide.

[Steven Harris]

Glen Preston on for Jerome Kaino

[Duluth]

Rieko!

[Steven Harris]

Rieko Ioane with a brilliant individual try right on halftime from a run from inside his own 22:WTF..!,converted by Gatland;Blues lead 14-12;unbelievable try,turned a couple defenders inside out.

[Tim]

Sam Lousi is going to be the most niggled player this year. The idiot has given away two penalties for blatantly taking out players in front of the ref. Both in the Blues 22.

[Steven Harris]

@duluth that was amazing..!,

[Tim]

@steven-harris Stepped Laumapi three times.

[Steven Harris]

@tim taken on the mantale of Akira Ioane,
A couple of thoughts,some of the Blues passing has been average,they need to get their outsides into space.
Also their discipline

Canes very dangerous from turnover ball,and their scromnhas been very solid
