@Gunner could be, but I'd rather have a run than not, personally
I would've been pissed off at going on for 2 minutes for anything other than injury. I'd see it as more of a fuck you from the coach.

Blues looked to be enjoying fucking people up on D which was the best part of the match for me. Pat T's 52nd minute annihilation of Bruno Elizabeth was just fucking sumptuous.
plenty of workons though, ruck ball retention especially. Blues were living off scraps due to fuckups mainly from there for the entire match.
ps Alan Parsons can fuck off and take his fucken Project with him.
Banned!

Our bench is really making a mark in games now, the second half injection of three All Blacks is working well. Four I guess if you include Pulu.
Ofa
Big Karl
Papalii
SBW
PuluMaths is hard.

How the fuck is Akira not an All Black? It defies belief
Few work-ons, too much attitude and stuck behind the Highlanders B team reserve 6.

Great win by the Blues. That is the sort of game they used to lose.
Parsons still a liability.
Nonu looked decent.
Rieko acting like a cock again after his try. He seems to be taking Akira’s quota of dickhead pills this season.
Thought Akira was pretty quiet early on but by the end he was pulling off plays that should have secured the game much earlier if they could just finish them off.Thought red wash harsh but pretty much in line with how they have been ruling it. No doubt the red card will be cancelled at the hearing.
Going to be really interesting to see how the Blues go for the rest of the year. With the way the other teams are playing they could end up second in the NZ conference.

Considerable maturity and mental fortitude from the Blues tonight. Not seen those qualities from them in a long time.
SBW superb off the bench. Akira Ioane and Patrick T have so much potential and are developing into better players. Reiko Ioane was absolutely outstanding. 2019 could be his year.

Once they got their shit together, thought the following players really stood out
Akira
Robinson
Patty T
Cowley-TuiotiRieko was patchy, but when he was on, man he was on
Big ups also to the Blues defence coach, thought they have been bloody good at defending their line in the last couple of outings -
@mariner4life all good bro he is the 52nd best player in NZ.

They looked like they were lapsing into the old stupidity toward the end there though. 15 points up and there were 3 really stupid acts in a row. A 'change track obstruction', a ball kicked away after a penalty and a high shot. All unnecessary and all lucky that they were either not ruled or just 'legal'.
On the positives though, the defence was good and just when they looked like going all individual (as they have been prone to in the past) they got their shit together.
Must have been the onfield coaching from the waterboy

As opposed to his other shit years?
