@Higgins said in Blues v Rebels:

The Crusaders 96 points score against the Waratahs is seriously under threat tonight.

The only thing that will ruin that prediction is halftime.

[KiwiMurph]

Perofeta is gonna stay in NZ if he makes the ABs.

You know what to do Fozzie.

[Stargazer]

That first half was a nice training run. It's fun seeing the tries, but as a match it's ten times nothing. The Rebels are rubbish.

[antipodean]

I doubt the Rebels would've thought they'd go into the sheds at halftime with this score line about five minutes into the game.

[Bovidae]

Ofa needs to transfer this ball-running into the test arena. We haven't seen it so far as international teams usually make their tackles.

What was impressive was way he timed the pass to perfection so Telea could show his acrobatic ability

[Mattasaurus]

Problem with games that blow out like this is how much you can take from it.. (blues playing very well)

That said.. I hope the blues maintain the high level of accuracy for the full 80...
Some excellent kicking which has been scarce lately.
Some lovely touches and good decisions being made.
Let's see 100+

I'm enjoying it. Would be awful to watch the crusaders do though.

[KiwiMurph]

Fozzie needs to have this first half on repeat to show Rieko.

This is how you play 13.

[Stargazer]

@Bones Yeah, that's what I said, watching the tries being scored is fun. It's just not a good match, because the Rebels are so shi*t.

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer was a similar story Blues Rebels last year in Melb in terms of how easily blues get over the gain line

Rieko needs to watch his own performance to know how to play 13?

Brilliant.

Better hope that doesn't come back to bite ya fella!

Love seeing the pick and goes, just keep them working..

It's the precision which is impressing me. Everything is clicking, quick decision making and almost zero mistakes.

At this point we should just send the entire Blues squad to face Ireland instead of the All Blacks.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer they are, but the blues still need to do the business.

They are playing with pace and accuracy, running at space with speed, everyone on the same page, minimal errors and just not giving the Rebels the chance to regroup and get into the game.

[KiwiMurph]

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph Pretty much. Its a carbon copy of last year and how they can't put our ball carriers to ground.

The try from Telea was a nice watch despite the weak defence.
