Blues 2020

Dice

@KiwiMurph
Looks like it might be Tamati Tua.

The game will provide further valuable game time for Blues players who have returned from injury including Jack Heighton, Waimana Riedlinger-Kapa, Finlay Christie and Jared Page and other Super Rugby squad players Tony Lamborn and Tamati Tua.

Blues 19 5 at halftime. Chiefs scored from line out drive by Dylan nel so 19 12 early in second

ARHS

Penalty try chiefs after repeated scrum infringements. 19 all. Kini naholo prominent in length of field buildup

ARHS

Blues hit the front with a snappy finish from Thomas aoake for his second try. Only brilliant tackle by kaylum boshier kept them out earlier. Lovely sideline conversion from Jared page. Blues using bench now

Jared page

Thanks for the updates. What's your impression of Page? I see that he is going to play for Harbour this year.

ARHS

Chiefs score through a strangely familiar number 6. Height on and falcon both guiding their sides well. Kick just misses. Blues 26 24

ARHS

Blues win deservedly. Perhaps Orbyn Leger guilty of trying too hard at times in second half. Not a lot of flow.

ARHS

@Tim I missed first half but he looked very tidy and good kicker

The Chiefs Dev's first and only game together so they wouldn't have any combinations sorted.

Stargazer

The Blues A tries from last Friday's game against Chiefs Development XV.

@Stargazer thanks for posting..boy any Rugby will do at the minute, having withdrawals symptoms..!

@Steven-Harris I really hope Sky Sport comes with some good replays the next few weeks/months. Whether it's games from our teams in black, SR, Mitre 10 Cup or 1st XV rugby, I don't care, as long as there are games that are entertaining for all NZ rugby fans.

Mark Telea with 21 more defenders beaten than the next best player in the comp.

@Daffy-Jaffy for George Bridge is it more "Defenders" Beaten? Like, perhaps at the halftime whistle on his way back to the tunnel?

really, the only area that's thin is 9/10

I don't think 10 is thin.

Otere is better than most sides second choice

He’s better than most teams’ first choice based on current form
