Blues v Highlanders

[mariner4life]

Game is set now. Blues haven't been great, but when they switch on they've got way too much for the Highlanders.

Clan's best hope was to keep it even closer and frustrate the Blues. That's gone now and I expect a pretty comfortable final result

@KiwiMurph Exactly. We criticize him when it's warranted. It wasn't warranted on that occasion.

[Mattasaurus]

@KiwiMurph et.al
doth protest too much...

[taniwharugby]

@mariner4life he's been a bt average most of the season, not as good as he was after he first made the ABs, although his scrambling d is always top notch, but rest of his game is too erratic

[Machpants]

So Telea is at ABs wing retirement age 27, but his amount of involvement, what do people think of a move to midfielder if he stays around next year onwards?

Yawning... please don't criticise reiko on the fern

Please know something about playing centre before doing so.

LOL, joking. Requiring knowledge about positions would drastically reduce post count on the Fern.

Can we all agree Patrick playing very well at the business end of the season

I'm impressed by his lineout work as much as anything. He's a dominant ball winner, timing is spot on at the moment

[Mattasaurus]

His ball carrying has been good too

[Machpants]

That was a shit bind by ofa

That's never been an issue at this level has it?

[Machpants]

Robinson standing in exactly the wrong place in both of those close rucks, not ready for the ball, but also stopping the long pass. WTF is he doing?

[mariner4life]

Telea's workrate is enormous

And in stark contrast to the winger on the other side

Confused by Christie taking an age to clear the ball from rucks.

@mariner4life

I'm enjoying the Telea-Nareki tussle
