Blues v Hurricanes

[Damo]

That was stupid by those blues forwards. Obvious PK.

[Steven Harris]

Akira Ioane showing his temperament is way off the standard of international number 8, between him and Pulu the can’t figure out how to keep TJ out of pressing errors...very poor got the dominant scrum and still can’t get it right between them..

[African Monkey]

Shit we may have scored here.

[Chris]

Try

[kev]

Great try

[Toddy]

Some rubbish kicking from the Barrett brothers.

[Donsteppa]

Poor effort on D from Beauden

[Stargazer]

Right decision. Try.

Try

Agreed - no clear evidence he touched the paint. Good decision by the TMO.

[African Monkey]

I have no problem with Akira being niggly. Much rather that than giggling with the opposition like a lot of players do and Jordie Barrett shoved him in the face as well so it's not just Akira at fault there.

[SammyC]

Papalii has been the blues best player by a long way tonight

This ref is a joke

Two weeks in a row. Just about every loss come to think of it ...

He does nothing that Brodie and Cane doesn’t do when playing for the ABs. Brodie in particular is the a big fan of niggle

@SammyC A great player who always gives it his all.

And some of the wins. Doesn’t mean I’m wrong.

Deserved try by Papali'i. Been awesome. Too bad it's only him, Faiane and a couple others who've come to play.

Me neither, I quite like it actually.

But his work at the back of the scrum tonight has been poor.

Disclaimer: I still want him in the all blacks, I think we need a big bully like that in our pack

Doesn’t mean you’re right either.

I find two eyes are better than one when watching rugby. Give it a go

[African Monkey]

@SammyC Yes it has but credit to Perenara who has been a pest all night. A good learning curve for Akira going forward.

[antipodean]

Sorry - how are the Canes going forward when they kicked possession away?
