yuo're joking, but I'd throw in a lazy few bucks After so many years of disappointment, we're finally starting to look like a rugby team.

[Bovidae]

Cowley-Tuioti showed his value in the 2nd half.

Well done Blues, the streak is over.

[Tim]

@Bovidae Yeah, GCT is a good lineout forward.

[taniwharugby]

regardless of the brainless cards giving a bit of a hand, that will be a big monkey off the Blues backs!

He was very good off of restarts too.

[Bovidae]

@Tim Kick-off receptions as well.

They are shwoing the cards now on Sky 50. Remarkably dumb play, more of what I'm used to seeing from the Blues

[nzzp]

Also, Akira played really well. That try was superb, but he was strong all game. Godo coming back with no matches under his belt

Canes got found out no depth at tight head. F.Smith played well IMO Gareth Evan's played. Fifita at lock or left right out. Flanders should be our 6 till Ardie comes back. Hope young Numia is ok for next week well done blues hope we get to play yous again

I think they got found out as being a bit dumb more to the point. Each card, totally avoidable.

Unplayable at times. NZ's Billy Vunipola. Must be in the ABs squad.

I hope we get a Papali’i/Ioane/Sotutu trio next week

Give Robinson a rest

[nzzp]

The kicking this year has been really good. You can see them seeing space and putting the ball in there; dragging players out of position, then kicking well. Long way to go, but goddamn it's better than we've seen for a while.

I love JK to bits as a human, but FFS he appears to be a terrible analyst or rugby coach. I cannot believe he got appointed and then left in place for so long.

Certainly outplayed Steve Hansen's favourite "special athlete" Vaea Fifita.

[ARHS]

Standard slipping in super derbies. Thought Canes were refereed far too leniently in first half. Too much cynical stuff was let go or missed including kick chases from offside and side entries. Great touches from reiko and cowley tuioti though and fletcher Smith good for the canes. But I don't think it should ever be allowed to get to 12 v 15 in a match...
