Blues v Reds

Tim

Pushing before the ball is put in.

Kirwan

Another try to the reds, probably too late. Evens up the burst we had when they were down to 13

Kirwan

31-16 7min to go

Kirwan

So the first home win coming up, quite incredible. Pleased that we send Kaino off with a win

Kirwan

Sumo dropping hints about Akira leaving the Blues there?

Tim

@kirwan What did he say?

That other "clubs" were interested.

I hate that they say clubs now.

Talked about what the ABs and Blues and other clubs see in him.

Kirwan

39-16 another try to the Blues.

Kirwan

Kaino to kick!

Nepia

They're playing Darude - same music as the 2003 Blues.

Kirwan

Hahaha, shocker and the ARs put their flags up. Nice touch Glen jackson

So Akira not selected to play for the ABs, but goes into camp and comes back playing brilliant. AB coaches with a plan of how to use him at the RWC and don't want teams being given a year to study it?

@Steven-Harris mentioned that both brothers are off to the Canes in the Super Rugby News (I think) thread.

It’s the only thing keeping me sane. Avoiding the second year blues?

Also, Tana has flogged him this year. May not want to overplay him?

Nepia

Awesome for Jerome to get a win in his last match at Eden Park. My favourite player for the last 10 years.

All these people thinking Rieko will cover centre are in for a surprise when A Ioane runs on in 13.

I don't think it's an issue he's getting "flogged" - I think he's the type of player who goes better the more minutes he plays.

Hansen's got to give him a test by the end of the year though, nuts if he doesn't.

By the time he gives Taufua a run, he’s probably already well exceeded his handing out new caps quota for the year.

If the rumours are true about the Ioane's leaving then the Blues really are fucked next year.

Which rumours?
