    We stumble to a win. What a team.

    Progress is being made. Players are growing. Don’t throw out the progress blah blah

    The Auckland Blues battled hard to lose at Brookvale Oval tonight, but ultimately were thwarted by an even more shithouse NSW Waratahs rabble. Rugby was the loser on the night.

    Well that was almost two hours of my life I'll never get back. To think I used to be in awe of the Auckland and the Blues even when I was supposed to hate them. What a shit show.

    Fark, pleasedw ith that result. Finally.

    Weaknesses exposed again, but we had just enough to get there.

    Fair play to teh Blues - they looked hungry and determined. Just didn't have great patterns (or any), and missing the top two inches.

    yeah. Above three NZ sides, that the side they just lost to have gone 15 matches without a win. Insanity.

    That last lineout option was so dumb. With 10 seconds to go, either tap the ball and hold it for one phase, then kick it out or take the scrum when you have the dominant scrum and kick it out. The lineout is the most high risk play when you have a short lineout and a new hooker. Shit for brains.

    38 games. Fucking hell. Their best can't beat our worst. I'm amazed anyone in Australia still watches Super Rugby. That is a crazy losing streak.

    Waratahs have 3 NZ teams in a row after this: Crusaders (A), Highlanders (H), Chiefs (A)

    I can’t see them getting many points out of that

    69th minute, Blues needed to keep it in hand at all costs. They had just got a penalty and had the momentum and the ball. I yell at the screen, "just keep the friggen ball".....Ruru then proceeds to do an aimless kick gifting the Tahs the ball in space.....
    I suppose he wanted to make a better spectacle for the crowd......

    What the fuck did i just watch?
    have the Blues turned to match fixing but have accidentally fucked that up by winning?

    Those last two lineouts with less than a minute left were pure panic.

    On the Rieko non try. I think the ref got it right. At the point he hit the ground he had a waratah hand on him therefore was held. The waratah player has to then release him. He can't just get back up. Refs have been getting that wrong regularly though.
    So that was a bombed try by Ioane. He had time to release and go again or pop it to the support.
    What is most concerning though is that last year he would have put the foot down and gone over untouched. Have the Blues run him into the ground by playing him for 80 mins every week?

    On the upside - I thought Papali'i outplayed Hooper. Be nice of the commentators could learn now to pronounce his name.

    That was the ultimate cripple fight if I’ve seen one. Who could play the dumbest footy in the final 10 minutes?

    Haha cross field kick by Beale with 50 seconds to go and you’re hot on attack and the game in the balance. Stupid

    Not if we can't beat a Blues doing their utmost in the final stages to lose.

    The best union in Australia shouldn't be losing to the worst in New Zealand. And to think Australian rugby was in such a parlous state 40 years ago the (then) NZRFU instigated yearly Bledisloes. What tricks are left in the hat to revive rugby here?
