Blues really miss Akira and Sotutu.
Both overrated according to the south islanders.
or maybe they (secretly) rated them so highly they connived to get rid of them??

This season could be a good test of Vern's coaching agility, can he mould the replacements into his style or will he have to change his tactics?

Jacobsen whinges like Kieran Read used to when he was Crusaders captain.
that a complement comparing him to a all black great captian

I'd take it as one. I like my captains constantly in the ear of the ref, but ensuring they don't put the ref offside. A delicate balance.
He also had a very good game.

Yeah they are narcissistic like that down there.

No need when Razor's busy selecting the Cantablacks anyway.

Carter could be in line for a special season. He looked very good on the wing.
The utility value of him and Fineanganofo would make them brilliant bench men at a higher level if they carry on as they started....

Not read thread... but Telea did score. Bad decision, but good result ...
Looked to me like his arm was in touch before the ball was grounded. It was tight, but no try was the right decision.
Ok. Will have another look.

I thought it was the right decision. Decided the game in the end.

Yep, I thought it was quite clear he was in touch.

I think McWhannel has a huge upside, is a large body, if he can get an extended run he could be someone for higher honours.

Reckon if Ioane and Sotutu were there blues by 50.
Chiefs raw physicality of bench and changing the halves made the difference. Finau looked awfully naive at international level in 2024 but there’s no denying he’s a unit.
Another enjoyable game.
