Sunwolves v Blues

[gt12]

@kirwan

I think he should be fired. But, if I were him, I'd aim to win as many games against non NZ opposition and hope for the best.

My conspiracy theory is that he's already been re-appointed (secretly) so needs a few wins to justify the stupidity of the board's early decision.

And, from an AB perspective, I'd be happy if he puts out weak teams (i.e., no Ioanes) against NZ oppo, so they aren't beaten up before international duty. I think Akira will be needed this year.

Have put $100 on the Sunwolves.

Tony brown to school the celebrity coach in how to prepare an intelligent gameplan. Michael Little to have a blinder.

[Duluth]

The most likely result is a comfortable Blues victory. If this happens, look for the nzherald to publish puff pieces about “turning the corner” etc.
Also, Umaga will take it as vindication that the Ioane to 12 move was correct.

Is that just one celebrity coach being better than another?

Very brave, I don’t think I could put $5 on either team!

@sammyc

I'm with you Sammy, I've got $150 on the Sunwolves by 12 and under @9.0.

TAB have the Blues at 1.09 to win, seems crazy.

SLightly late and no arms. Stupid.

[Tim]

@nepia Fuck. Another one gone.

[gt12]

What a muppet.

[KiwiMurph]

Awful error by Duffie too. He has been woeful this year.

[gt12]

@kiwimurph

Was he ever that good, beyond amazing skills in the air?

[taniwharugby]

@tim question has to be asked, would he have stayed if the Blues were in a better space or was he always looking at heading off?

[Steven Harris]

Tuipulotu is such a waste of time

[gt12]

Little looking pretty sharp already. Tackle turnover and a line break.

[Steven Harris]

Early signs are not great from a Blues piece.

[KiwiMurph]

@gt12 fair call. Though his error rate has gone through the roof.

[antipodean]

Blues look terrible. No discernible structure on attack. Nothing that looks like options to hold the defence and create space.

[taniwharugby]

decent maul defence there though
