Force v Blues
-
I thought Clarke wasn't due back until next week, or did his get downgraded?
He says without reading anything...

Internationals Rieko Ioane, Nepo Laulala and Hoskins Sotutu are on All Blacks rest week while abrasive loose forward Tom Robinson is spelled after a minor knock in last weekend’s clash against the Fijian Drua.

No Clarke missed his full 3 games. Chiefs away, Crusaders away, Drua in Melbourne.
I like the balance of that team.
-
@KiwiMurph ha I thought we'd only had 2 games 🤣
Where does the time go!
-
assuming the Force show up, the Blues should win this by a thousand if they decide this week to play with even a smidgeon of patience.

Hasn't he already had a few "rest weeks"?
-
V.good team and really happy to see Akira Ioane back.
Blues need to get back to same form that saw them beat Chiefs & Crusaders away from home. If they do they'll put 50PTS on the Force. I think that's likely given Christie/Barrett are back running the show. Funaki/Barrett didn't gel last week.

@FakatavaFuture He'd be nowhere if he wasn't German according to our Crusaders mates.....

4D chess. Can't get suspended if you don't play.

Who? Oh thrush and Kahui, I recognise those names!

@Machpants Old man Romano will feel right at home once Thrush (37), Holmes (38) and Kahui (36) get on for the force.

Zimmer fight!

This is how competitive the Force are; Kahui is old enough to play Masters and looks a class above when he takes the field. Quite why he's on the bench instead of starting is mystifying.
