    Yeah it’s probably a lack of trust in the squad depth.

    I would have liked it if Sotutu played more this year, but it seems they don’t trust him with a start yet.
    If he had time off the bench in the earlier would they trust him now? I think they made a mistake not having a look.

    @Duluth I rate Sotutu. He's very good in the tight. I would have started him this week to give Akira a rest.

      It worked well for Auckland to use them like that.

          Non-stop rain today. Looking at metservice, we might get lucky and avoid anything too bad for the game. Hopefully that's the case, because we're not built for wet weather rugby.

            it's been tipping it donw on the isthmus today. That said, I'm optimistic of nothing more than than the odd showers tonight. The really heavy rain should have headed east.

            sarc: Some days, I wonder if our Blues are built for any rugby style at all

              Cant see either team scoring a lot of points in these conditions. Even in dry weather these two teams would struggle

              Neither team to score 30 or more is paying $1.85...get some!

                Double hat trick to Parsons, Plummer kicks 5 penalties and it's a crushing forty point win?

                  The rain has been insane this morning. Is giving me fond memories of the NPC final, so there is that.

                    Would happily lose a few bucks for a result like that!

                    Plumbers goal kicking is mud tho

                    Its all up to Parsons and his double hatty!

                      cleared up nicely, blue skies and a good afternoon. Will be crisp with the odd shower I expect, but still a pleasant night out at the Garden of Eden.

                          Full time in the curtain raiser.
                          Blues A 52, Honda Heat 29. Only caught the last 15 mins. Reserve halfback Rilloy Sueuse looked very sharp, Hamdan Tuipulotu 19yo brother of Pat scored a powerful try from 22 metres out. The centre for the Blues made some good solid stops on D.

                                        Probably worse weather than the NPC final, with patches of drizzle , followed by torrential rain.

                                        Lots of handling errors in Bulls warmup.
