@Duluth said in Blues v Bulls:
I want to see Tele'a get some good minutes from the bench. Then start him in the midfield vs the Reds
Rieko is due another rest week, right? If he takes it next week, it probably means Telea starts on the wing against the Reds. Then SBW probably comes back and takes that 23 jersey.

@Duluth I rate Sotutu. He's very good in the tight. I would have started him this week to give Akira a rest.
It worked well for Auckland to use them like that.

Non-stop rain today. Looking at metservice, we might get lucky and avoid anything too bad for the game. Hopefully that's the case, because we're not built for wet weather rugby.
it's been tipping it donw on the isthmus today. That said, I'm optimistic of nothing more than than the odd showers tonight. The really heavy rain should have headed east.
sarc: Some days, I wonder if our Blues are built for any rugby style at all

Cant see either team scoring a lot of points in these conditions. Even in dry weather these two teams would struggle
Double hat trick to Parsons, Plummer kicks 5 penalties and it's a crushing forty point win?
Would happily lose a few bucks for a result like that!
Plumbers goal kicking is mud tho
Its all up to Parsons and his double hatty!

The rain has been insane this morning. Is giving me fond memories of the NPC final, so there is that.
cleared up nicely, blue skies and a good afternoon. Will be crisp with the odd shower I expect, but still a pleasant night out at the Garden of Eden.

Full time in the curtain raiser.
Blues A 52, Honda Heat 29. Only caught the last 15 mins. Reserve halfback Rilloy Sueuse looked very sharp, Hamdan Tuipulotu 19yo brother of Pat scored a powerful try from 22 metres out. The centre for the Blues made some good solid stops on D.
