I'm ancient enough to remember when a Defensive Bomb was a parody...

Why are they persisting kicking to Mark Nawheelbarrow? He's tall and can clearly jump and catch.

And another let give the back to the opposition in our own 22 kick from beaudy. FUCK RIGHT OFF

Tim

Score try, receive kick off, set a platform, shit exit. Arrrgh.

Mattasaurus

So do Blues win the line out.... hit it up twice and then another gawd dam defensive bomb?

Damo

The Blues are going to be easily too good tonight, but I don't fancy their chances against anyone next week.

antipodean

Tom Robinson has been very good at lineout time.

taniwharugby

surely kicks like that arent part of the gameplan though, I mean that was a deliberate kick, not a mis-kick

he looked an absolute unit with his shirt off before the game - muscles on muscles

our only hope is Drua getting up over Crusaders, and we host the Brumbies or Canes.

Can't see it somehow.

Nice finish in the corner after catching a Harbour Bridge

We know they are because however plays ten for us does them.

I hate the Tahs, the Bears for getting cut and my old man for raising me a rugby fan.

taniwharugby

seems so many players still havent learnt not to touch the head/neck area, several in the last passage by Tahs, a few by Blues in the 1st spell

I'm surprised they didn't look at Zarn's legs there. Looked close to being out on first viewing.

Very. Was it OK?

taniwharugby

great take by Tom, then undone with no support

Tim

@nzzp I remember watching the post covid Blues vs Hurricanes game at Eden Park in 2020: there some big hits, but Robinson and Gibson were throwing themselves into tackles. No wonder they get injured.

His Bobness

Very impressed with Heem. He’s accurate and reliable. He rarely makes a mistake. Given the disarray in the AB centres, he wouldn’t look out of place.

Sideline camera looked better. Still awfully close to being out with my ageing eyesight.

@antipodean AR was right there, he nodded, so ref has to trust him.
