Blues 2020
-
Really impressed Papalii..also Joe Marchant showing some great touches, looks to have superb footwork...and strength for a guy who does not look that big..
-
First scrum after 27minutes..wtf..
-
@Steven-Harris Anything to say about the Hurricanes players?
-
2 dominant scrums from the Blues
-
34 minutes..not sure who the try scorer is , maybe Riccitelli .or Chase Tiatia after a series of drives ..try converted 14-17 Blues
-
@Steven-Harris most likely Riccitelli, Tiaita usually stays away from dark places.
-
@Stargazer Laumape has been a constant threat with ball in hand,but much of the Canes passing has been sloppy ..Kirifi and Liam Mitchell along with Riccitelli the best in the forwards.
-
@Canes4life It was indeed Riccitelli, according to the Hurricanes twitter.
-
Halftime 17-14 Blues ...
Only 2 scrums in the first half ..
Canes will have the wind in the 2nd half...
Ben Lam has looked sharp when he has had ball...plenty of effort going in from both teams ,,Akira Ioane also getting through some work,Josh Goodhue since he has come on is getting though a ton of wok, has carried several times already .forgot to mention Mark Talea...the man has some wheels and footwork , Chase Tiatia was kept reasonably quiet..plenty of defenders on him -
@Steven-Harris apart from Tucker, good to hear there hasn't been any more injuries.
-
@Canes4life Tony Lambourne took a head knock..he’s actually surprised me, has looked very busy..!
-
2m Akira Ioane scores ,a brilliant break from Plummer in the lead up, taped backwards of the Canes line..Akira pounced ...Blues 22-14
-
8m Great off load from Tom Robinson to Sam Nock who runs 40metres to touch down..Robinson got amazing acceleration off the mark ..Plummerwho looks really good converts ..Blues 29-14
-
Lots of handling mistakes from the Canes...
-
15minutes Jamie Booth goes solo from 40 mitres out ..converted by JGB...21-29 Blues...Booth has looked very sharp since he has been on
-
Close to full time, plenty of endeavour from the Canes late in the 2nd half ..but the Blues defence has been solid..don’t know what Tom Robinson runs on, but I would love some of it ..Akira has been very good, much improved work rate...JGB to me offers more variety in attach..Booth been very good,Flanders has added something
-
Blues defence finally cracks Asafo Amua leaves defenders sprawling from 20 metres out, try converted 28-29 Blues ..2 minutes to go
-
Really impressed with Flanders, has put on some size..and the kid has got some skills.
-
Full Time Blues 29-28..will drop in some thoughts later tonight..thanks for tuning in
