Blues v Rebels

[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.

@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.

@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...

[antipodean]

Moulds just made more metres in one run than Parsons has made all season.

[taniwharugby]

wtf....

[Steven Harris]

And then the basic mistake comes..!

[antipodean]

WTF was Duffie and Collins doing?

Has no one explained to Duffie that as openside winger you need to hold back if the fullback is busy covering the blindside wing as well?

[Tim]

I've given up. Fuck this team.

[Gunner]

That Rebel player came in the side of that maul to prevent that try, how did the ref, touchie or TMO not pick that up?

[antipodean]

How the fucking hell do these clowns get employed as refs?

[kev]

@gunner how did they miss that. Penalty try if not a try.

[Gunner]

Again Rebels getting away with murder, that 6 just lay in the ground bear hugging Ioane....

As bad as the Blues are, I do think they get shafted a lot of the time by the refs.

[African Monkey]

How shit has Matt Duffie turned to?

[Steven Harris]

It’s fucken bad enough when your are playing badly,but when the officiating is missing a trick,it does not help..!

[Gunner]

Moulds has been good, pre planned sub at 50 minutes just for the sake of it?

Edit: it’s not like Moulds will be tired either, after only about 30 minutes all season.

[African Monkey]

@gunner It's more entertaining watching Apisai stuff everything up.

[Steven Harris]

@gunner yeah good shift from Moulds,and he adds real value to the scrum
