I know it's only round 2 but I would suggest ABs need to move on from Mark Telea at wing. ABs need more dynamism out wide.
Chay Fihaki will most likely get the gig

A drunk dude tries to find his house.He comes to his house and rings. His wife opens the door. He says: "Does Hugh Jass live here?". His wife yells: "It's you Hugh! You're drunk again!"
He says: "I know it's me, I'm asking do I live here. "

Sotutu showing us all why he’s not in the All blacks. MIA the whole game. Where as Withy was outstanding .

Balance of that Blues pack looks a little off.
And they missed Choat's impact in the last quarter

Bullshit, first game back in a beaten team.

Stats in his first game back would be an interesting comparison against an uninjured Blackadder....

@chchfanatic Just me or did he look a tad heavy?

@Steven-Harris I’d always assumed from TV that the Landers had good crowds but the reverse angle at the start, showing the empty main-camera side was shocking. Someone explain what’s going on down there, please.

15k is a decent crowd for February coming off a first round loss and some down years.

Congrats Landers. By far the better team.
I don't see the Blues turning this around - they are cooked
Yeah......it's all of a sudden looking like a pretty weak bunch of NZ teams all of a sudden excluding the Chiefs.
The 2nd best NZ team is up for grabs, could well be the Landers from what we've seen.
Agreed. Blues look 5th best NZ team.
In fairness, the Crusaders and Canes don't look much chop either.
Both teams are down plenty of firepower atm. No excuse fo the Blues, got done tonight.

I can’t believe it! Despite fielding the greatest number 8 known to the history of rugby the blues lost. That’s a very good result for the highlanders.

Goes missing when the forward pack is not on the front foot is the image of his distractors. Needs to prove them wrong but can't tell in his first outing of the season to be fair..

The Clan! How good was that! Come on migget fullback that I have never heard of but can go like the clappers.
Fabian Holland FAB! Fred the Difference has been handy for the last few years. He is just a machine.
You can also see how classy the Blues are though. They will click eventually and be there at the end. -
Whenever the Saders lose there’s only one that makes it a little less unbearable, the Blues losing too. Yes I’m a bitter man from that 2003 final.
Some lesser names really standing up for the Landers. Thought their tempo was superb for the most part . A little shaky and showed some inexperience at times, but overall an amazing performance under pressure.
What I noticed about the Blues was after that initial phase of attack the next 2 or 3 phases looked disjointed. Not helped by Beaudie crapping the bed several times. Looked rushed all night and made some terrible decisions.
