    Starting Renata at 3 (who is probably a better loosehead than tighthead) is a big call. Anyone know if a replacement has come in for Lay? Maybe Teague McElroy?

    I rate Renata better at TH. More important, is Nepo having a rest?

      @pakman also better having Goodhue locking behind him too.

      Will be good to see Peirce get a crack too.

        Ofa and Laulala are on the bench. Also Akira.
        Rebels are up against it

          I don't think anyone rates Renata as a LH, including the Blues coaches. Ofa was the reserve LH prop in the Chiefs game with Renata the TH.

            at the risk of being shown up, that is a good Blues bench and the team looks ok (shame Dalton is out but Choat isn't that bad a replacement). What was with the photos, regional moustache day?

              Watching the Rebels warm up and the reserve backs can't even pass in front of each other accurately unopposed. Skill levels in SR are poor.

                      he doesn't play heads up rugby. Very obvious live - but he only looks at passing, no option to snipe, even if there is a gap. You only have to do it once or twice a game, and it keeps defences honest

                        Recruiting TTT and/or another upcoming HB should be job number 1 for the coaches

                          @nzzp yeah he's another one I can't see why he's rated, very paint by numbers and after a couple of numbers see the wrong number. Or kick it into touch for no reason.

                              Rebels hooker pops out of scrum under pressure. Pickerill doesn't penalise.

                              Then penalises Blues scrum.

                                @antipodean the quality of refereeing is abysmal right now. They don't get laws to help them much, but the sheer number of bad decisions is astonishing

                                        love seeing scrum after scrum collapse /sarc

                                        It's a blight on the game

                                          good call to go for the corner. Scrum dominance, and we need a bonus point to stay in this competition
