Blues halves are still as weak as piss.
Can't say Im too optimistic about the season ahead. When is BB available for a run in blue?
Beaudie is due back in April
Doubt he makes a big impact this season
ChiefsBlues first 11 games include 2 games in SA vs Bulls/Stormers, Crusaders twice Hurricanes twice & Jaguares They'll do well to win 3 games
1st game after bye for Blues is in Christchurch then a home game again Canes
I think all this makes this weekend's game very important for the Blues. They seem to specialise in losing in a close entertaining NZ derby to start the season.
They need to find a way to get over the hump this weekend.
A home NZ derby and probably not a bad time to play the Chiefs - with such a tough early schedule Blues need to find a way to win this weekend.
That's why I find the dropping of Akira a bit odd. All good and well not running him into the ground this year but surely you want your best players on the park for a first up derby game.

A reminder that Rotorua is in the BOP as well.

I believe Trask is/was a school buddy of my nephew so I hope he goes well.

Shaun Stevenson is still better than anyone the Blues can play at 15.
That's debatable. He is hot and cold.

All at the same time usually.

This game will count as one of the 2 games DMac needs to stand-down.
Is he in that group given his injury enforced layoff?

@antipodean I expect it is about managing potential load in the coming year rather than resting from last year.

Chiefs team is out!

Gone are the days of giants in the pack like Retallick, Bird and Taleni Seu - we are playing loose forwards in the second row and a 7 at 8. I know it's injury enforced but that will be one of our shorter sides in a while. -
Against all the odds, I'm excited again. Taking my lad tonight, will be a good night out no matter what.
From last year - we haven't beaten the Chiefs since 20 farking 11. It's about time

@nzzp Why are you posting from 2018? Have you had a stroke?
The Blues won their last game against the Chiefs.
