Blues vs Waratahs

nzzp

@nzzp radar looks like it could clear in the next hour. Fingers crossed.

You'd hope so ... but the rain radar seems to show more rain just appearing.

It's actually way better now where I am. It has stopped raining for the last hour or so and the sun looks like it could break through the clouds soon.

The rain radar shows that most of the rain should be gone from Auckland by kickoff.

Ok so they beat the Crusaders and then beaten by the Sunwolves. What team is going to show up?

nzzp

At the ground, it's looking good. The investment in drainage clearly paying off... Back in the bad old days it's be a swamp still

Still warm, so expecting a greasy ball but no excuse not to throw it around a bit

nzzp

About to kick off. Been dry for a couple of hours, here's to a BLUES victory.

Crowd moderate, hope it builds over the next eight minutes

Kirwan

Yes! No TJ

Kirwan

Someone has taken me too literally, I said a co-commentator LIKE Matt Cooper. Not actually him.

Mils is close.

Kirwan

Good accurate start.

Kirwan

Shit, Gibson looks hurt

No Quarter

Strong start from Akira. He's having a massive season.

broughie

@No-Quarter He’s doing good stuff but I want to see him hitting the line with pace more for more line gains. Still appears to be a little lazy.

kev

Forwards hitting the rucks and moving bodies creating go forward. Good to see.

Kirwan

Fuck this a pleasure to watch. Gang tackles and so organised.

Nonu has been great

gt12

Looking good, although Black is still slowing them down.

It's looking good at the ground. Haven't seen this sorry of commitment for years

kev

Weak clearance from Ruru created pressure.

Kirwan

Only attacking option for the Tahs is an up and under to Folau. That said, it does work well...

Poor option from Black was the start of it

gt12

Paps with two penalties given away in there

Kirwan

Interview before the game talked about the lack of injuries, cursed us
