That Blues 8 has quite a work rate huh?

Doesn't range wide running down the tracks enough though.

Fuuuuuck Coltman. You know you're outta form when McKay is your saviour...

Is there anything he can’t do?

Has Coltman ever been known as an accurate lineout thrower?

Ioane is the best number 8 in NZ with Sotutu out. Big game today. A bit more confidence on attack would be great.

[Bones]

@Nepia yes

He threw in three in a row accurately last year.

Definitely looks like he's playing within himself in attack - it's almost like he's on coaches instructions to play tight and is sticking to it.

Bloody late in the game for a warning

I really like him as a 6 , I know there are others as well , but his physicality can’t be underestimated imo

[akan004]

Dumb play after they have been issued with a warning.

I don't mind him keeping it simple and just focusing on his defence and buying his team time off the back of the scrum. One thing I've noticed today is his cleaning out: very accurate today, but also very quick.

Why didn't the Highlanders call a scrum when the Blues just lost a prop?!

[Yeetyaah]

Jesus Mafileo is a unit

[Kiwiwomble]

Surely scrum if they’re down a man and Coltmans on?

Are you kidding or did you miss the previous scrums?

Parete two fumbles and then muffs a chance...
