Blues v Sunwolves

@nzzp Was only the Chiefs.
Leon's still got to treat this game like a bit of a gimme. If he's giving his backs-to-the-wall team talk against the Sunwolves, the well is going to be dry against sterner opposition.
Blues to win at a canter!

@Machpants I make it 12 if you count Vella who is an Aucklander playing in Canterbury, and a few players Auckland born like Hendrik Tui, Will Tupou and Jamie Henry. I think that is more than there are indigenous Japanese players.

Having watched the Blues dev. team play the Hurricanes and the first half of the chiefs dev. game, I have grave concerns about Amua's defense. His poor defensive misses were basically the difference in what was otherwise an even Hurricanes game and he again cost a try with a simple one on one miss in the Chiefs game. Players simply out paced him on the outside and it was like having a prop trying to defend midfield with his lack of pace and agility. Lets hope he proves me wrong.

The first missed tackle in this video for instance:
Coventry was complaining loudly about Aumua in that Hurricanes A game. I'm a little surprised that he's getting time off the bench.

Ugh Ken Labann, hopefully the game is better than the commentary will be
I'll listen to the radio commentary instead. Always do that when Marshall (esp in combo with TJ), Laban or Lose are commentating.

Why would Pulu keep going right putting players under pressure?
-
@antipodean Slow and telegraphed too.
