Blues v Chiefs

[Chris]

What about the advantage for the Blues from the knock on FFS

[Tim]

@Chris And the penalty!

[gt12]

@Chris

Agreed.

Colin Cooper unravels another part of the Dave Rennie era.

Good win for the Blues, just better. Still a bit shit, but better than a shittier Chiefs team.

For us, it’s time to invest in next year with the remaining games - mainly by finding out whether Debrevensky is worth keeping or not. Plus not fucking up Cane or ALB.

Deserved win for the Blues!

And it's a good thing that that undeserved try from Tu'ungafasi hasn't cost the Chiefs the win.

A forward pack made of custard...

Can someone get Robinson a hair-band?

More hair-flicking than at a teenage party

Good teams know how to win ugly

[Tim]

Bonus point try!

[Machpants]

Best line out drive of the blues season

[Steven Harris]

@antipodean to be fair to the chiefs I agree with some earlier coms...not having your 2 main locks plus the impressive Luke Jacobson along with a host of other injuries must take its toll..
Will take the win as a Blues Supporter..!,but was a hard watch at times..!

[African Monkey]

@Machpants More like the last 5 years. That game was similar to the Waratahs v Crusaders where we were shit but the Chiefs were a lot shitter.

Agreed. The fact the Chiefs have won any games with their injury toll is surprising.

Winning is a habit. It might help take away the panic they demonstrate in the opposition 22.

@Machpants Is that the first time they've used a short-lineout drive? Might be a good idea to reduce to more of a man-on-man contest, rather than one of organisation.

[Chris B.]

Good god - they've beaten the Chiefs and scored from a lineout drive.

What other hoodoos do they need to put to bed? Maybe Michael Collins plays next week!

[KiwiMurph]

Ofa had a bloody stormer.

Scrafton very very good.

Plummer needs to work on goal kicking and his clearance speed but otherwise excellent.

Stoked to break the streak.

Brilliant!

A win but against any other NZ side that would have been a substantial loss. Mistakes across the park and poor decision making continue. I wouldn’t say that result marks a turning point just a confirmation of the major fault lines that run through the Blues.

I don't know, TBH, but it seems the blues stuff up every time things start to go on a bit. Really if they don't score quickly they're more than likely to lose it. So that sort of move good for them!
