Sharks vs Blues

[Bones]

@Tim Missed it completely. There's a surprise. Cheers

[Stargazer]

Blues don't know how to defend a line-out maul. Sharks in again. This could be a loooooong game.

[Bones]

Who is the 13 again? That was pretty yuck.

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer try being a Blues fan in the last decade.

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph Yeah, I hoped that had changed with new coaches. Apparently not (yet).

Faiane. Ive never seen him start 13 before. Only 12.

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph They seem desperate to accommodate SBW. They should just start Faiane at 12, where he played very well for Auckland. Put SBW on the bench.

Yeah not sure that had much to do with the number on his back, but lesson learned. Take the fella right in front of you who has the ball.

[antipodean]

Blues hard done by at that scrum. They're the ones that stayed straight.

[antipodean]

Parsons you spastic.

[Stargazer]

Haha, someone tell Papali'i that the ref has blown the whistle! That was hilarious.

[number9]

Parsons is having a shocker.

[Bones]

This is fucken hilarious. Collins does something brilliant that you don't expect, so Parsons does his best imitation of a man who has never played rugby before.

[Bones]

Brilliant throw to the lineout but.

[KiwiMurph]

They might as well chuck young Tele'a on in midfield.

[Tim]

Need some more mobility (besides catching the ball). Maybe replace 1 and 2.

[number9]

The midfield is breaking down, no cohesion between TJ and SBW. Parsons is worse than average, the tight 5 are asleep and Collins maintains his usual low standards. Not much of a half, we are doing nothing at the breakdown. Disappointing.

[Nogusta]

Ruru shoulda gave early to Sonny Bill there instead of trying the show n go

[Stargazer]

The Sharks are butchering their opportunities, too.

[Bones]

What on earth are these tactics? Just no brains. We have Tuipulotu and Akira rolling it off the back of a ruck to set it, then Parsons and Ofa standing one out. Dumb.
