    Imagine how good Clarke could be running at full pace into gaps and away from tacklers.

    And be able to hold the ball and not slip over too often

          Truck me commentators talk some shit in the pregame.

          "Reiko Ioane has put away the flair game so he can concentrate on getting over the gain line"

          He can't fucking pass. That's why they told him to stop trying

          Unusual approach, given the typical response is to try them on the wing. Oh...

            I enjoy how Vern Cotter somehow has a Blues hat that looks like it was made in 1996

            Has he managed to spend all day out fishing or did he have a wrestle last night with bottle of scotch?

                More to the point, watch where Renata was in that maul. The refs pick and choose when they penalise lifters being in front of the jumper when the maul forms.

                      Akira Ioane's calf tightened up. Tuipulotu needs to be evaluated tomorrow. Darry and McWhannell should be available. Heem might be available too.

                            just caught up with the first half.

                            The much maligned Christie was very solid. Couple of minor hiccups, but did everything the coaches will have wanted. Got to the ball quickly, passing was 'ok' and his usual self for what defence there was.

                              Agreed. Forgot to comment on it last night but he was responsible for snuffing out a lot of attacks.

                                @Machpants Is he a potential AB bolter somewhere down the line with his ability to play both wings, centre and 12?

                                I mean, it's unlikely, but last year's mob picked Dallas McLeod in that role to start the season and no disrespect to McLeod, but AJ Lam is twice the player he is.

                                  Was impressed with us last night. Obviously we've had better performances, but the Drua put us under a bit of pressure in the 2nd half and I thought we handled it very well.

                                      @Kirwan Helps that he's been given a regular go at 10 for the first time in his career. He got unfairly written off after his rookie season.

                                        Clearly at least the number 2 number 10 playing in NZ. I will be very disappointed in the new selectors if he misses out on a spot.

                                          I noticed the Blues pack was close to 950kgs on the weekend. Jeez that's heavy. It doesn't seem that long ago we were getting g excited about 900kgs. I wonder how long until packs are regularly 1000kgs?
