<p>Blues A beat Chiefs A in curtain raiser 42-7. Not sure who was in the sides. <strong>Marcel Renata </strong>scored 2 tries and Jordan Trainer got a try and kicked conversions for the Blues.</p>

<p>fluffybunny, hes in my FR team! </p> -
<p>me thinks defence isnt high on priorities at this point....</p>
-
<p>Naholo probably lucky not to be YCd for deliberate knock of the ball</p>
-
Entertaining game. Some good tries too. Pity I'll miss the second half.
-
<p>now Naholo in....50/50 if he was on side</p>
-
<p>Entertaining match and absolutely agree with saulityvi, that try by Naholo should be nulled out as that should have been a yellow card for the "intentional knock-on" as it was clearly foul play which stopped what would have been a very good opportunity for the Blues.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good to see some players who haven't had much of a run since the end of last years Super Rugby and AB's starting the year in good form... Ben and Aaron Smith, Lima Sopoaga etc playing really well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>West looking more composed and great vision for the kick in behind which lead to a try defeating the rush defense.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looking forward to an entertaining 2nd half and...</p>

<p>C'mon the Blues</p> -

<p>Did i just miss it or were there no scrums on the first half?<br><br>
Very impressed with the Smiths and Sopoaga so far, West and Hall need to step up big time if the Blues want to snatch this</p>

<p>Just the one I think. Stable scrum, no issues for either team.</p>
