A bit of a rain this morning, but weather is still looking good for tonight.

Laumape vs Nonu

Looking forward to that particular battle

[Duluth]

Well I hope its better than the last match between these sides

Laumape was quite good and Rieko was involved in most of the tries

[nzzp]

@Duluth don't underestimate quite how important Rieko is to this side. He will make a big difference.

I don't think we'll win, but it should be a good game

Oh, we are going to get pumped I think

Will be interesting to see how the team responds to three bad games in a row. And how the scrum goes.

I just want to see a consistent effort across the whole team and signs of intelligent life. Asking too much?

The effort was there earlier in the season and the stupid penalties murdered us last week.

[Kirwan]

@Duluth yeah, am trying to reset expectations to the beginning of the season.

I want to see the game plan structure, smart options and small things done well (like exit plays and box kicks).

We fell apart under pressure last week.

@SammyC said in Blues v Hurricanes:

MacDonald will have the tight forwards pumped up after last weeks debacle.

He needs to. There would be plenty of ammo for firing his team up in the video review.

He needs to paraphrase Grizz Wyllie, "Come on, it's only the bloody Hurricanes!"

[Chris]

Still think the Blues are a chance in this game

[Kirwan]

Of course its Tony bloody Johnson. Mils is good for the expert commentary though.

Your username and avatar hopes so.

[Crazy Horse]

@Kirwan hope he is not too mean with the tone of his voice!

This year's canes will always give the opposition a chance

Need their forwards to dominate. And on paper, there's no reason that shouldn't happen.

If it doesn't, I think questions need to be asked.

[Kirwan]

Good on Parsons making a 100 games.

[African Monkey]

@Kirwan Yup he's been a good servant despite the criticisms (myself included).

[Crazy Horse]

I obviously missed it, but what has happened to Coles?

[Kirwan]

Ha too much space for Ofa
