As a Blues fan, you may have forgotten this, but yes, winning games is what it is all about

That's right - when Blues smashed Rebels in round 1 a few years back it was an awesome season...

Oh wait...

Have to say, as comparisons go, that one's pretty....

Who called that line out?

Way to put some pressure on the overthrow.

Landers get out of jail with a turnover.

[gt12]

Landers get 3, but they’re terribly inaccurate so far.

Scrum looks ok here though.

[antipodean]

Gardner's dreaming giving that second scrum penalty to the Clan.

[KiwiMurph]

@antipodean haha yeah Highlanders prop was driving sideways right in front of him

I thought the angle of the LH looked dodgy? It’ll be interesting to see if Gardner picks it up next time

[gt12]

@Duluth

Yeah, it looked pretty dodgy on the replay.

[gt12]

Jesus, Hunt just passing it to them.

[gt12]

Landers getting hammered at the breakdown.

[Crazy Horse]

Parkinson is still playing 'soft'. For such a big man he wins bugger all collisions.

[gt12]

Wtf is Thompson doing?

[Chris]

10 penalties already FFS Gardner making this a stop start game

[Tim]

Scrappy shit.

[Chris]

11 penalties shit game no flow

[Stargazer]

@Chris He's correct though? What else is he supposed to do? Letting them go offside, collapse mauls etc?

[Stargazer]

Mikaele-Tu'uu looking very good.

[Crazy Horse]

If this game is anything to go by it's going to be another season of NZ teams struggling against the rush defence.

[Chris]

There is some leeway there you have to have some feel for the flow I don’t think he’s been correct on all 11
If the Landers keep throwing this long cut out they are going to give some tries away

A couple of the breakdown penalties have rewarded the defender not immediately getting clear which is compounding the problem.
