Blues vs Rebels

[Crucial]

@Stargazer said in Blues vs Rebels:

@Gunner He did enter from the side, just after being warned for something else. The team was on a warning.

I disagree, he entered the ruck through the gate

[Gunner]

@Stargazer rewind it pal, joined from the back for sure.

The scary part for Australian rugby , (bit early to call obviously, )

But this could be Nz's weakest team again .

He came through the gate. Not from the side.

Good first game to kick start the new Super Rugby season! Tomorrow's NZ derby will be a goodie, too!

Never in doubt. Points don't seem to be an issue. Need to tighten up some little stuff.

The rebels are a bit (lot) shit

[Gunner]

Glad I saw that post from Canerbry before it was deleted. That was some of his best work.

Blues backs look deadly, forwards a pass, but they'll be a lot better with Kaino, Charlie, Paddy T and Parsons all on the park.

It's a crime that Faumaina is leaving. Easily the best defensive and attacking front row player in the ABs. No slouch in the scrums too. Especially when compared with Franks' very poor form on the EOYT.

How did Akira Ioane go?
(obviously not as well as his bro')

Blues forwards were a bit hesitant and upright (in body position) in the first half. He got better as the game went on. Some very good defence, but no big ball carries.

I was thinking the same. Blues have clearly improved but I'm not expecting the other NZ teams to have deteriorated much from last year. If we dominate again at what point do you have to say the aussie and saffa teams are just not good enough and therefore the competition is a waste of time. (yeah I know stupidly early to be making vast predictions..could be eating my words at some point)
