Blues vs Stormers
-
What’s being forgotten here,this is a much stronger Stormers pack than what was fielded against the Canes 7 days,laden with Springboks,this has been a very good performance from the Blues pack..and this time Bryant gives the penalty advantage for the dominant scrum...

Fuck yeah!

What’s the f’ing point of giving guys 2 or 3 minutes?
I’d love to get an honest answer from a coach on this one.
Because sitting on the bench for an entire game sucks, giving guys just a few minutes means they can blow of some steam.
Really? I call bullshit, only thing they might blow in that time is a bloody hammy!

Something to do with players getting injured more often in the last ten mins to isn’t it? Might be protecting some players.

@Gunner that's why, you might disagree, but having guys not playing makes them annoyed/doubt themselves/think the coaches don't rate them etc. Talking to coaches that's what I've been told
theyve had guys sit on the becnh for 80 in other games this year...must be a game plan thing

@Kirwan that’s a point of view. Another would be that after 40 minutes Parsons starts walking. Any one would be better off the bench.
I ain’t arguing, just saying that they are picking the better thrower for an important set piece. Moulds has had years to improve and three coaches to impress.

Black has been good Mehrts? Really?
"distributed well" - clearly that doesn't refer to his passing

@taniwharugby sure it's going to happen some times, but is the norm for everyone to get a go. So leaving a player in the bench is not ideal, even if he only gets a couple of minutes

Could be true, but by that stage I’d already be thinking ‘fuck you’, a couple of measly minutes wouldn’t change that
