Lions v Blues

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Jantes really has come on leaps and bounds the last year or so.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Geez, again a terrible throw from Parsons. Can't believe there are people who think he should be the 3rd AB hooker. </p>

<p>I also cant believe they keep going for the lineout option when it's not working - and Parsons is the captain! Tap and go would have been better.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Half time: Lions lead 19-0.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>That stadium is almost empty; there don't seem to be many covered areas? Can't really see it because of the lighting.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Lions are in again. Good try.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>and again</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Do the commentators have another team list than we have. They're constantly mixing up the names of the Blues players.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>And another try for the Lions. What an embarrassment. 38-0 Blues must get rid of that ugly zero.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>They have erased any confience they gained last week. This might be worse than any single performance under Kirwan.</p>

[sparky]

<p>Trying to remember a worse performance by a NZ super team. Totally embarrasing.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Who do they play next week?</p>

[nzzp]

<p>Turned on a replay, watched the kickoff, missed a lineout, taclking was optional.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Switched to a live feed, and saw 31-0 and more of the same.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
I'm flushing the dunny and moving on.  As someone said above, rain highlights the weaknesses of this outfit.  Poor halves, some average skills and an inability to play a solid conservative pattern.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This may be a wake up call to listen more to Tana, but who knows.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5-1-4 for the season now.  Still not terrible, adn a win at the Farce on the way home would be nice.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Okay, so next week the Force and then the Crusaders and Canes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Phew, finally a try and the zero is gone.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Wow they did manage to avoid a donut.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Wonderful try Lions</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Lions score another one and it's full time: 43-5.</p>

Shocking result and performance! Umaga has not convinced me yet,no structure to their play at all. <br><br><br>

<p>The first lineout I saw from the Blues shows me they are mental midgets.  Its raining and some idiot decides to call a long throw.  How about the KISS principle?</p>

<p>Personally, I'd wait until next season to make a decision - Umaga then can have his own coaching staff (Moore was already signed on for next year before Tana signed up) and players, Or at least more so then he currently does.</p>
