@mikey07 never heard of her?

[mikey07]

Goosen slices through the Blues defence like a hot knife through butter try....

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 yes the Goose man.

[mikey07]

JGB converts Canes 14-5 5 and a half to go

[Canes4life]

It will be good to hear your standouts for each team @mikey07 when you get a chance.

[mikey07]

Chiefs standouts for me were Wainui, Karpik and Stevenson. Both tight fives did well on defence.

Blues to shine? Plummer.
I thought that Karl T looked fit and slimmer. Work rate for him was good but he was brushed aside in a tackle and part of a pack that was getting eaten up by no name Chiefs.

[mikey07]

Blues: i was really impressed with Sullivan and Plummer

The Chiefs I thought Jacobsen and Finau

Canes: Goosen with his work rate and Stewart impressed in general play.

Nu’a played well at 12 when he was on and Visinia was very hungry

Bear in mind was behind the goalposts all game and the last game I had a stupid red badge idiot part blocking the view

Thanks for the updates @mikey07 and @Crucial!

I hope they filmed the games and that we get to see some highlights, but I'm not holding my breath.

@Duluth Interesting to see that Meihana Grindlay played against the Hurricanes.

Sure that wasn't James Lay?

Choat and Dalziel also played. Haven't seen any of the established Blues loose forwards yet.

Love with a break 40 out too much gas for Lowe try Canes, converts his own try Canes 14-5 20 mins gone

Looking at the clip posted in this thread, it wasn't Lowe. Looked like he beat Wainui and Wrampling(?). Missed tackle definitely from Tiatia.

Jersey colours seem fine to me, but why were the Canes wearing those awful jerseys from last year?

Good to see that Fomai got his hands on the ball.

They have so many of the names wrong haha. They obviously don't know who Marc Telea is, and don't know the difference between Julian Savea and Lolagi Visinia.

Looks more like Bailyn Sullivan?

That will explain it.
