          Clarke must be an AB.

          One thing I’d love to see him do, is come in looking for the ball, could be devastating bobbing up in the middle of the field .

          Probably happen if he becomes an ab

              Bizarre there was no penalty advantage from the scrum.

                      Are they allowed to face the other way in the scrum? They might do better then since they're so good at going backwards

                        We’re lucky to the be the close, had some good ball, just need to convert some of these plays and shut down their attack

                          If Ofa doesn’t start in the 3 jersey, there is a conspiracy against Blues’ props.

                              Just outgunned, but good effort trying to stay in it.

                              Watching our midgets get manhandled at every collision must be disheartening for the players too.

                                    Sure but people get stuck on things that are irrelevant. It's way more simple than what can KT do. It's he shouldn't have been there. "But it's not fair" isn't in the laws is it?

                                    You might as well say he shouldn't be on the field then. He'd just been run over by Mikaele-Tu'u and was in the process of getting up to get back onside to, y'know, comply with the laws. The only thing he did wrong was get steamrolled by the bruising No 8.

                                      First half thoughts ...I think the Blues have kept the Highlanders in this game with their own indiscipline...2nd thing is which I find weird ..The TMO has got the official to check every try the Blues have scored ...and yet is happy with Barrett getting taken out when a kick is popped through, now it may not have been a try but the opportunity was taken away..almost get that niggly feeling your up against more that the 15 on the paddock...

                                        Barrett's approach to the ball when he is takiing place kicks is looking incredibly awkward.

                                          @Smudge sometimes you're unlucky.

                                          These scrum penalties are unfair! What else are the Highlanders supposed to do if the can't hold the blues! Bullshit refereeing.
