Hurricanes v Blues
-
So imagine if the Canes got Akira, in that game they get a guy who runs 70m in the game, wins lineouts, scores trys, makes clean breaks.
Thompson ran 7 metres.

Fucking Tana - it's obvious! Tackle Laumape - stop him scoring tries.
Well, my evening as a Blues supporter was shit. I might not try that again!

Try three years of Tana’s shit selections and lack of accountability.
Look what happened to the Crusaders when you got rid of Blackadder.

Is in another year.
I assume the Ioanes will leave if Tana stays.

They're more than welcome at the tin

80 more minutes of pain to go next week..
thought Blake Gibson and Akira Ioane were outstanding..
In the good value category were Nanai,Pulu & Reiko,not going to be too severe on Reiko in terms of defence,this is what you get when you a man out of position
I would hope ext year Otere Black can steer a team around the paddock a hell of a lot better than Perofeta..some pretty average errors from the pivot.. -

There's one very clear path to success....

It worked for the Hurricanes!

@no-quarter I've liked that twice...because you posted it twice!
-
@kirwan You guys need to follow my prescription for Janine Southby - a concerted chant from the stands - "Fuck off, Tana!"
-
@Chris-B yeah, don't know how that happened, but I'm comfortable leaving that post up twice.

Will go back when they fire Tana.

http://theblues.co.nz/team-line-up-blues-v-hurricanes-7-july/
The Blues team is:
15 Matt Duffie, 14 Melani Nanai, 13 Michael Collins, 12 Rieko Ioane, 11 Caleb Clarke, 10 Stephen Perofeta, 9 Augustine Pulu
; 8 Akira Ioane, 7 Blake Gibson, 6 Jerome Kaino, 5 Matiaha Martin, 4 Gerard Cowley-Tuioti, 3 Ofa Tuungafasi, 2 Matt Moulds, 1 Alex HodgmanReserves: 16 James Parsons, 17 Pauliasi Manu, 18 Sione Mafileo, 19 Ben Nee-Nee, 20 Murphy Taramai, 21 Sam Nock, 22 Bryn Gatland, 23 TJ Faiane
Jerome Kaino will become the second most capped Blues player when he starts in Saturday’s Investec Super Rugby clash against the Hurricanes in Wellington. Kaino, who heads to France after the season, will play his 138th game for the Blues on Saturday, to go past Tony Woodcock, and sit second on the all-time Blues list behind Keven Mealamu. The Blues welcome back their two leaders, captain Augustine Pulu, who will start, and stand-in captain James Parsons, who will come off the bench. Pulu is the only change to the starting line-up from the team that beat the Reds handsomely at Eden Park last week, while Akira Ioane, who this week confirmed his commitment to the club, is the only Blues player to have started in every game to date in 2018. Coach Tana Umaga said Kaino will again be a key motivating factor for his side. “Jerome means a lot to this team and achieving the milestone is great for him. The team wants to send him on his way in the best way we can and that is with performance. And if we get a good performance, the results will come. “We get valuable leadership back in the squad with Augustine and James, which is important in derby games against the likes of the Hurricanes. That said, both Sam Nock and Matt Moulds performed well last week. “Our attitude around the breakdown was a key for us last week against the Reds, which created some front-foot ball for our backs. Our forwards really dug-in. There are some work-ons around set piece as there always is, but we need that same attitude on attack and defence again. “I am sure the Hurricanes will be looking at ways to rectify their situation after three losses in a row, but we have nothing to lose. We will go down there and throw everything at them, get some pride and respect back and also make sure we send our High Chief away on a good note.”Unsure what to make of this game. Have the Canes improved or was the improvement just due to the Blues defense
One plus was Goosen at center. Laumape was scoring the tries but Goosen defense and ball carrying with the limited chances he got was first rate.
