Blues v Brumbies

@Old-Samurai-Jack yeah, definitely stepped up. Good to see.

Plenty of exciting number 8s in NZ atm. If Razor selects Grace over the likes of Iose and Sotutu it won't go down well north of Canterbury.

[sparky]

Excellent performance so far from the Blues.

Yes, hardworking, mostly accurate. Excellent defence. Well earned lead - Brumbies rightly on nil.

[antipodean]

Lolesio wanted no part of Clarke running at him on the line. Went high and submitted to being bounced off.

Looked like Dalton was tackled and got up and went again

Wasn't held

Hadn't seen it originally, but seeing the replay, that's a shocker. He had to break free of the tackler when he got up again (without releasing the ball).

@Canes4life Especially with the Blues fans on here haha.

Man the Blues and Canes are brutal in contact. You could see how much it has taken out of the Brumbies that half.

There will be some sore bodies after the next Blues Canes fixture.

That game is going to be massive in three weeks time. I'm glad that game isn't right before the playoffs.

I'd have Plummer in the frame for AB ten ahead of Perofeta based on last year and this year.

Really reliable player.

Perofeta is an ultra-lite Mo'unga, so overrated.

I'm really starting to warm to Vern as a coach.

Just now? It was pretty blinding obvious that he was going to be an improvement over completely shart the bed with selections and tactics McDonald.

[Gunner]

Just keep taking the 3’s… or not.

Being an improvement was a lay down misère, having the Blues play this style this well is something else.

What do I know. The way they’re playing they have every right to back themselves.

[KiwiMurph]

Perhaps Dalton read Cully's article

[Tim]

Papalii has been huge tonight. He will shit in to the ABs preferred XV.

[antipodean]

Brumbies now look like they're trying too hard and thinking ahead rather than concentrating on simple skill execution.

[Canes4life]

Is this the most no nonsense game from the Blues in the last 15 years? Very impressive, demolishing a good Brumbies pack.

[KiwiMurph]

McWhannell took a knock there

[antipodean]

Easy RC.

@gt12 dumb play by Noah.

A school boy would get pulled off for that sort of stupidity

Phrasing

[Gunner]

I really like Funaki, he’s a little energiser bunny, with a nice quick pass.

Not sure where both the Blues and ABs obsession with the little ginga comes from, but I rate Funaki as a much better player.
