TJ has been defending extremely well this year, and issue last year when played at 13 and Marchant has certainly improved defence when he played at 13. A risk swapping them around, but I like this backline.
that Marchant Ioane swap is weird. Must have some reason, but Rieko seems a better winger, and Marchant a better centre. I dunno, hope this isn't back to the days of Tana's lottery...
Could it be a missprint?

No, Reiko wants to play there so they are giving him a shot in a game they sort of expect to lose, hence the shot to nothing comments for this and Nock.

@Duluth no bigger game or stage for Nock to step up, or likely check out....
Career defining game for him
100%. What's weird is he's been in the squad for so long, but without game time. If they don't rate him, why keep him?

Hopefully Kurt's improved. Any update on the Parsons injury? I haven't seen anything, but getting trampled by a couple of monsters didn't look good
The info on injuries on the Fern's frontpage is up-to-date.
Click on the Blues' logo in the Super Rugby panel and then click on "squad". -

my tip for this game was decided by a coin toss...
You're much more confident than me
Stormers are on a good roll, the Blues will need some luck

Highlights from the 2019 match vs Stormers
That Tele’a try was great. Anyone know when he’s due back?
Other than the Tele’a try the main thing I remember about that match was the stoppages the Stormers created. They were really concerned about their fitness last year

@African-Monkey said in Stormers vs Blues:
@Duluth I went to that game. Tele'a also got ref carded for taking a man out in the air. It was far tighter than the scoreline suggested,with our defence standing up to the task.
I was there too. Big Karl was motm for me
