Blues v Hurricanes

[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 ...

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..

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.

@African-Monkey said in Blues v Hurricanes:

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.

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?

[Kirwan]

@Hooroo I am, he’s making lots of errors. And I’ve been noting plenty of Blues errors too.

[Toddy]

It's like watching a colts team vs seniors in regards to the Blues front on defence.

[Stargazer]

@antipodean I think because Jordie chased and caught it?

[Kirwan]

Nonu getting stuck into the ref

[antipodean]

I wonder if Ardie is getting those runs off the back of the scrum because after last week the Blues flankers were told to push at the scrum?

Hard road to find the perfect ref....

They are prolly better when you’re not losing.

[Kirwan]

@Hooroo no, we had howlers for two of wins too.

[kev]

Blake Gibson hits hard. Great game for me. Had more impact than other loosies.

Should have been penalized. He’s not the captain, and it seemed a bit over the top - regardless of the poorness of the decision.
