Blues v Highlanders

@bovidae Moody also isn't getting any youger, Bower is barely Super Rugby level and Tu'inukuafe is awful around the paddock for a benchie. He either starts or doesn't play. Moody/De Groot/Hodgman are probably our 3 best looseheads.

I respect Sir John Kirwin with his work in and around mental health but as rugby analyst he is just embarrassing..just a fan boy ..

@african-monkey I mean the previous couple seasons it's been Aaron ft an npc level backline of Collins, Joane , sio + a gun in Nareki & on their day they'd gel pretty well compared to what's going on this yr🙁

Someone’s got to be a Blues fan. We get TJ and colour from cantabs and chiefs for our games.

@kiwiwomble It's how us Blues fans felt throughout the 2010s.
And Crusader fans in 1996 and 1997.

Just watching now, haven't read the thread.
First Clarke takes out CGB in the air by realising he's not going to make it so jumping early to take it, then BOK blatantly lies saying DP didn't call the shot! Fuck me.
Second piece of dirty play to take a player out by CC in 2 years isn't it? Lucky this one wasn't permanent.
Also great to see Gregory and Hunt returning to the form that launched them to shithouse depths a couple of years ago. At least Gregory isn't supposed to be a kicker, Hunt why the fuck can't you get a 5m lineout from the penalty kick when you're only just outside the 22? Awful.
Liking seeing the superb form of future stars of yesteryear like Perofeta, pretty to watch.
DP > SC

The haves and the have not
I know its only one game. But there does seem to be a gap opening up in rugby now even in New Zealand. Crusaders are full of talent. Blues are closing the gap. Whereas the Highlanders (and maybe Canes) are slipping behind. Then there is the gaps between NZ and Aussie sides. It will destroy SRP is something is not done about it. NZ could start by addressing the NZ situation. Unsure how it would be done though. But Crusaders winning again and 2 sides struggling to compete (MP and Highlanders) will even (further) harm NZ rugby

@winger what? Highlanders played awful for large periods of the match and were still within a try with 5 minutes to go.
Get a grip.
Did you read the article. And as I said its only one game.
No, I responded to your post.

OK. But the article is the key.

Not really if it's in the same tone as your post.

@dan54 Hes well past it. He makes Hunt look like a world beater.
