SF - Blues v Brumbies

[Tim]

Try to hold the ball challenge.

[chimoaus]

Is that one of the smallest semi final crowds at Eden Park?

[Horatio]

@Canes4life Might as well cruise once the game is won.

I think Funaki has played his way out of a potential ABs jersey tonight. His decision making has been very poor.

He was never getting an AB jersey this season

He was a possibility IMO.

[Machpants]

So I wonder if Dalton will be around next week? Also Akira did not look comfortable going off

[Damo]

I think the Blues will be hard to beat in the final. Their scrum is intimidating and defence is very strong.

I have them as favourites.

Dalton failed HIA

That could be massive for next week. Imagine if the Blues lost Ofa aswell.

I’m sure the Chiefs won’t mind…..

[Horatio]

another missed knockon lol

The moment Christie came back at 9 he wasn't

[Horatio]

Well that was just the worst.

They haven’t come up against the Canes with Lomax yet… oh wait they did in Wellington.

[Tim]

Scrappy game, but give the conditions, the opposition, and especially the ref, that's what you'd expect.

Should have won by a couple of more tries.

Ofa should still be suspended for his sickening shoulder charge to Millar's head.

[Bovidae]

Doleman lets everything go so the breakdown becomes a mess.

Whilst we are talking about context

The game where Blues picked a 6-2 bench and had 2 backs go off with injuries in the first 20 mins and Funaki had to play wing?

[antipodean]

Not a good performance by the Blues. A number of players deciding to have shockers in the pressure of a semi-final.

That affected their scrum?

What about when we nearly beat you at Eden Park after losing our three best players right before kick off. No one mentions that.
