@stargazer ......"Suzy" at it again??

[Stargazer]

@magic65 Haha, that was my first thought, too!

[L_n_P]

@act-crusader Nonu on attack and right-to-left used to run a very slightly-diagonal line that would pin two defenders, and given his power and still some pace, gave them both kittens on defense: he would step inwards and could score, run-over you with pure power and score, or could pass/offload at the last moment?

I'm a Blues supporter but Rieko is still very much in the scary-on-attack-but-raw-potential-for-now stage at international 13. Not a bad thing he's getting game time though imo.

@l_n_p Blues supporter? I like you even more now 😀

[nzzp]

@stargazer damn. That's some serious inexperience out there now

[ARHS]

Quite a worry just how many leading players we are missing. Should be an interesting contest. If our loosies in particular beat the boks to the collisions, we should be ok.

We're going to find out a lot about some players, particularly in the loose

Any Blues fan who joined before May this year is a triumph of optimism over reality. Genuine fans, and clearly outstanding people.

He didn't say when he came a blues fan....

Jacobson and Paps are a big loss in the loose. Blackadder has a chance to rectify the errors made last week.

A makeshift 7 is a big challenge against the Boks. I'm nervy

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus I didn't realise Paps was injured too, chuck him there and that was my preferred loose trio when we left nz to face sa

I'm not sure we've got Ardie 7/8, Akira 6/8 and bladder 6/7. As long as they are clear in their roles as a trio, should compete well

That's 2 of each position! 😜

I think Blackadder will go much better at seven. Hopefully he adds accuracy to his work rate and doesn’t miss a 100 tackles this week.

Sotutu on the bench is going to add impact too.

[Nevorian]

FFS Stan SBW talking about Akira and they have accompanying footage of Reiko. Sonny onto it though to his credit

[KiwiMurph]

@nevorian very poor from Stan.

Keep an eye on the haka formation tonight 👀
