Blues v Rebels

[Machpants]

What happened to Pulu, every ruck is a resting place, every kick awful - no chasers there, even tho the blues had half an hour to see he was doing the kick?
I'm talking about the aggressive Pulu who got an ABs call up a few years ago

‘You can’t just crawl along he ground’

It’s taken till 3/4 of the way through the competition before a ref has decided to rule on this...

[Tim]

Great work Ioane, great take Hepetema.

[Machpants]

Duffie the better half back there, cleared it without meerkatting!

[African Monkey]

@gunner His awful pass almost fucked that try up.

[Tim]

Some fucking bitch is having a video chat on speaker in this pub. Fuck off!

[Steven Harris]

Half glass full time..if we are bad,how good are the Rebels..?,any other NZ team would be out of site..!

[Tim]

Hodgman injured?

[African Monkey]

@tim Yeah as usual just like our usual soft defence.

[Tim]

Akira Ioane should go to the Canes. Imagine being that good and playing for this rabble.

[KiwiMurph]

The good news

Akira is playing well.

Havili can tackle

Hepetema better than expected

The bad news

Everything else.

[Steven Harris]

Given what’s unfolding,if the Blues get out of this,its gonna be a miracle..especially after losing Papalii and now Hodgeman..why..?when you have not had the ball,you would put up a high in between the 2 10 metre marks is beyond with no chasers,and then concede field position is beyond me..

[antipodean]

The problem for the Blues is the players that aren't lazy, make dumb decisions. The more industrious they are, the more dumb decisions they make.

[KiwiMurph]

@antipodean lead by the captain...

[kev]

Blues kicking game is so poor. They seldom recover the ball, find space, secure territory.

[ACT Crusader]

Only caught the last 10-12 minutes of the 1st half and can’t help but notice how passive the Blues defensive line is. Rebels able to get through and around fairly easily.

Both teams have issues at the ruck leaving ball carriers exposed.

[taniwharugby]

@kev the chase is pretty poor, so will never recover.

Sadly, so many poor decisions made and poorly executed skills, Blues just in a very big hole with seemingly no way out.

[Steven Harris]

@kev right on Kev,they have conceded so much ball,it’s gonna tell in the 2nd half,the halves need to take ownership of the 2nd half..Really and truthfully this is not a great Rebels team but they are just doing the little things smarter..here’s another 40 minutes I won’t get back watching these guys.

[Tim]

Imagine giving this coach another contract.

[taniwharugby]

@tim never happen...
