Blues v Highlanders

@kiwimurph said in Blues v Highlanders:
I think it's worth noting the Highlanders have lost their only 2 away games this season (both nz derbies).
I don't think the Blues will have the nous or class to win but they are not without hope in this game.
People said that when the Chiefs rolled into town on crutches, pushing a dilapidated team bus that broke down climbing the Bombay Hills.
And that's when the Blues appeared to have some confidence and form.
-
@antipodean ...and the Blues nearly won that game. Again didn't have the nous or class. I reckon another Blues losing bonus point here is a good bet.

Yeah, it's the most likely of the 5 remaining derby matches.
It would take some luck. The Highlanders would have to drop their standards.. or get an early red.. or the Ioanes score some individual tries
-
@kiwimurph That's literally how all our NZ derby matches go. Highlanders by 5.
-
@african-monkey with Li and Naholo tearing it up. Any other ex-blues?
-
@bones Li and tearing up should not be in the same sentence, he's a joke.
Oh, and Aaron Smith is also a former Blues squad member

I'll revisit this after the game, sounds like he's a sure bet for 4 tries.
-
@bones Hahahaha has he even scored 4 tries in his Super Rugby career?
-
-
@bones Yes haha that was when Taranaki rested virtually their whole side for the semi the week after and put out the Francis Douglas 2nd XV and in typical Tevita Li style he came to the party and was his usual flat track bully self smashing little kids like he has done his whole career.

We're playing the Blues right?

@African-Monkey This meme seems pertinent to current discussions...

Listening to James Parsons on RS last night, he reckons he has had more drug tests this season than he has before.
Also told a story of how Woodcock was at home chopping firewood when the drug testers turned up on his doorstep to test him...he basically threw them an axe and told them to help out until he could go inside to do the test...reckons he had them out there for over an hour!
Parsons comes across as a great bloke too....

Understandable though. He is Pork Roll no more and a dam fine specimen for a hooker

I know one of the guys who's with the drug testing organisation, he's a massive guy, would have made short work of the wood if he was one of the ones who turned up.
