Blues vs Waratahs

[Dice]

It's actually way better now where I am. It has stopped raining for the last hour or so and the sun looks like it could break through the clouds soon.

The rain radar shows that most of the rain should be gone from Auckland by kickoff.

Ok so they beat the Crusaders and then beaten by the Sunwolves. What team is going to show up?

[nzzp]

At the ground, it's looking good. The investment in drainage clearly paying off... Back in the bad old days it's be a swamp still 😀

Still warm, so expecting a greasy ball but no excuse not to throw it around a bit

[nzzp]

About to kick off. Been dry for a couple of hours, here's to a BLUES victory.

Crowd moderate, hope it builds over the next eight minutes 🤔

[Kirwan]

Yes! No TJ

[Kirwan]

Someone has taken me too literally, I said a co-commentator LIKE Matt Cooper. Not actually him.

Mils is close.

[Kirwan]

Good accurate start.

[Kirwan]

Shit, Gibson looks hurt

[No Quarter]

Strong start from Akira. He's having a massive season.

[broughie]

@No-Quarter He’s doing good stuff but I want to see him hitting the line with pace more for more line gains. Still appears to be a little lazy.

[kev]

Forwards hitting the rucks and moving bodies creating go forward. Good to see.

[Kirwan]

Fuck this a pleasure to watch. Gang tackles and so organised.

Nonu has been great

[gt12]

Looking good, although Black is still slowing them down.

It's looking good at the ground. Haven't seen this sorry of commitment for years

[kev]

Weak clearance from Ruru created pressure.

[Kirwan]

Only attacking option for the Tahs is an up and under to Folau. That said, it does work well...

Poor option from Black was the start of it

[gt12]

Paps with two penalties given away in there

[Kirwan]

Interview before the game talked about the lack of injuries, cursed us

[Kirwan]

Great defence!
