Blues v Brumbies
-
@kiwimurph ,it’s was a great kick off ,but the resulting play pretty much sums as a supporter what the are and are not capable of ..
@steven-harris yeah. They've been pretty average in both first halves in the 2 earlier games too.

Getting another thread going for the Saturday 7pm game this weekend at Eden Park.
Round 3, Blues have 10 points. A BP win puts us right in the box seat to make the finals... but these Brumbies are a decent side. Getting 3 more tries will be hard.
Things to work on for the Blues: stop dropping the ball, play to your strengths in the forwards, and play smart. Make sure your scrum is rock solid, defend mauls really really well. Stop giving away stupid penalties.
Brumbies: ... haven't seen them for so long... are they still a 'scrum for penalties, drive mauls over the line' team?

@kiwimurph time to hook the ref. That pass was forward before the Paps penalty.

Time to hook Renata.
Mafileo was our unsung hero last week - keeping Sio straight and up is a trick
-
Last 2 scrums penalties against the Blues.
Can anyone more educated in front row play than me tell me why?
First one looked like the Brumbie loose head bored in, next one, im f’d if I saw anything wrong except a collapse on the hit from both sides.
Fuck scrum penalties are dumb!

I know they are both gingers, but they don't really look alike...

Yep Mafileo has always been a good scrummager. Renata has always been suspect.

Well basically, the guy with the whistle blows it, then one of his hand goes and points upwards and toward one goal line.
Hope that was informative enough
