Blues v Highlanders

@Frank said in Blues v Highlanders:

Why are teams usually so content just to kick it out with the last play of the half?
Why not try to work your way up field to get a penalty?

They’re winning by twelve...why risk it? It’s smart footie

Blues players bleaching their hair isn't helping the commentators. Noticed several times how they confused Rieko, Sotutu and even Akira (whose hair is pink).

It's not that hard. They have numbers.

[Machpants]

@Stargazer old white men commentators confusing people of colour, you know it will be a headline soon

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph Yeah, that should help when the numbers are actually visibile, but that's not always the case.

Don't they know that the commentators need every player to have a distinct hair style to correctly identify them? There numbers on their jerseys are meaningless!

[Yeetyaah]

Was that not a penalty against the Blues? Knock on and Akira who is infront of the ball handler tries to grab it then kicks it away when the Landers player is trying to get at it?

[Machpants]

Beauty try. Less said about parsons 'tackle' the better

[Stargazer]

That looked like the easiest of tries from Mitch Hunt! The Blues defence still mentally in the sheds?

[African Monkey]

Good try Highlanders, started by Mikaele-Tu'u. Poor passage of play from Nock.

[Tim]

Nice try. Tu'u nice run, Sotutu bad miss.

[Bones]

Always liked Mitch Hunt.

[KiwiMurph]

Blues 2nd half fade incoming?

[African Monkey]

@Stargazer Yeah slow out of the blocks.

[Yeetyaah]

Good try.

[antipodean]

The difference between making your tackles and not.

[Kiwiwomble]

See! Let the forwards do their thing and you backs can score

[KiwiMurph]

I'm a Nock fan but that was shit. Shit kick and then error.

[Machpants]

Poor kick Barrett, awful kick Hunt
