@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.

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.

@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 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.

Is someone paying the Rebels' players for this performance?
Blues are going well though.

I was thinking the Blues 6/7/8 could be AB's best combination - though wither Sam Cane? Foster sure has done a great job developing talent in those positions.

Fucking love that. Parling looking on the edge of topping himself 😂

[Pepe]

That was average box kick

[KiwiMurph]

Lovely touch from Kellaway there. You can see why his game translates well to test level

[Derpus]

Rebels have turned me. Cut 'em.

[antipodean]

That was magnificent defence. Especially by Rieko!

[Bones]

That's a cracking kick from Christie

[Duluth]

Huge hit by Robinson

[Bones]

Ofa getting carried away now

I hope he carries this form into the Tests.

He has looked incredible this year, like he has lost a few kilos and worked on speed and movement.

That was an interesting replay...players showing you can go low in the tackle and still be dominant (and one of those players being a past high shot offender). And here I thought players aren't able to do that and definitely can't change...
