@machpants given the injuries,who would you put in the midfield....?

At least play him at 13 so he can make an outside break.

Legit question.

When is the last time the Blues had a decent kicking game?

2011?

A very very long time. We barely kicked in 2011. We ran everything and were fun to watch.

Yeah I dunno but IMO you play the best in the world in his best position and work the rest of the team around that

Carlos, Devine and Howlett?

Interesting that Akira Ioane was doing the talking in that huddle.

Would you find Parsons inspiring?

Bollocks that was a penalty he just held his ground

HE stepped slightly sideways and braced his shoulder. Penalty right call. I reckon.

Nothing wrong with bracing for impact. It looked like he was stationary and the Sunwolves guy milked it by running into him. I guess in modern rugby we can be thankful that wasn't a YC

Lemeki haha. I'm happy the Sunwolves selected him ahead of Saumaki.

Isn't throwing it dead a penalty?

[Machpants]

And a yellow for SBW!

[Steven Harris]

Great little cameo from Ross Wright,some very good carries..and superb impact off the bench from Papalii

[Machpants]

Yay Akira, he's gotta be ABs 8. Surrounded by grafters like Cane, he'll be a terror to the French IMO - not ahead of Read but he's a long way off I guess

On purpose it is, that was just a shit pass

[antipodean]

No try for me, well done by Sunwolves to hold that up.

edit - TMO agrees.

[Tim]

They really have no confidence in Nock.

[Kirwan]

And that makes it 24-10, Perofeta won’t get the kick

[Machpants]

Made hard work of it, but yes!

[Steven Harris]

Well done Jordon Hyland,2 x tries on debut,and a solid game all round

[Machpants]

That the BP?

[antipodean]

Great vision and execution Gatland.

Yup, he's miles ahead of Squire etc, should be the 6/8 cover off the bench or starting 8 if Read is unavailable. He's really delivering on his potential now - the Maori v BIL game last year he seemed to come of age and hasn't looked back.

[Steven Harris]

Never in doubt..lol
