@taniwharugby Oh yeah I get your point, but I'll take a 43-10 win any day of the week even if we could have put more on them. I guess it won't matter as it looks like the season will be called off haha.

It's like raaaaaiiin....when you just learned to play...

Back from the game, and absolutely stoked with the team, and for the team and wider coaching group. These boys look fantastic; it's been a long time coming, but they are finally starting to play some proper rugby. What's really noticeable is the rugby nous - they've stiffened the defence and make good decisions consistently. Not perfect, and a lot of work to do, but an absolute pleasure to watch.

Not surprised at the tiny crowd given everything going on.

Not bad, probably 12k I'd say

Stuff say 15,000. NOt bad given what's going on; gutted that this is probably teh last round for a while.

Fun to watch, left about six trys out there that on another day we could have scored.

Most pleasing thing for me is the tackles around the legs dropping people, felt like hardly any were missed.

@KiwiMurph @Tim Bevan Dewar is the main caller.

He was really good.

Karl T in doubt for next week. Papalii failed his HIA. Pierce may have a hand injury.

@Tim how old and experienced is Pierce? Showed good endeavour but reeeeally clumsy eh.

Unlikely to be any game anyway

Tim

@Bones 22 years old. This is his second year of Super Rugby, but the first year he's gotten game time. Last year was his first real season of NPC, and he's played 8 games.

Great coaching.

Blues playing with a lot more width and freedom. The defensive system is really coming along and that is building the confidence in attack.

Duffy looks a different player and when he comes into the line as a playmaking option he’s making better decisions.
