Did good Beaudy defeat evil Beaudy in the change rooms at half time?

He's always been good at this shit, pulling apart retreating teams. It's breaking down defences constantly coming forward that's the problem
Playing a team with a decimated pack is BB time

Get a partner in life as commited to you as Beauden is to kicking.
Good idea, they're not likely to go too far.

This new Blues halfback is fucking shocking
Feel a little sorry for the rebels, everything has gone wrong and they are getting flogged.

Nock has looked quite sharp. One shit pass but is becoming a much more physical and his passes are quick.

The Rebels didn't have a scrum or lineout in the 2nd half.
That should be a big factor in the review. It destroyed their ability to maintain possession in any meaningful territorial sense.

The game turned on their inability to secure set piece.

@Stargazer Nah we just ripped them up.

@African-Monkey Beauden's kicking was terrible we must have lost a lot of point from his goal kicking. Zarn Sullivan has a descent kicking game seems fairly composed.

Those college kids that just called Ricatelli and Barrett over to sideline were their Franci Douglas college 1st XV, where Barrett and (I think) Ricatelli went to school.

They were all at the Blues captain's run and got a lot of time and tips from players.

Interesting that Papali’i was at 8 on attacking scrums. I can’t recall him doing that before

Good control at the back for Christie try
@KiwiMurph 14 points lost on Beaudy's kicking would have made score pretty close to last year's demolition at Eden Park of the Rebel's.

I was so pissed at half-time so was very relieved come full-time
Blues we’re helped by injuries to Rebels including losing both their hookers gone by half-time. A flattering score but we need to be so much better to push Chiefs, Brumbies and Crusaders hard.

They had a decent scrum with 3 props but their lineout fell apart and then they did.
Interestingly if you watch the Blues scrum dominance it starts when Ofa comes on. Two scrums in a row he destroys Fa’amausili by popping him. But watch closely and when he packs he’s directly on an angle, right in front of the ref who doesn’t pick it up. Riccitelli angles into Fa’amausili as well and they both pin him allowing Ofa to pop him.
