Blues v Rebels

@KiwiMurph on form Savea is hard to ignore.

Was not impressed vs Brumbies.

Caleb Clarke is not that great still. Def not starting AB level

So who starts AB 11?

Bridge is a dud. Leicester maybe but lacks pace. Rieko will play 13.

Reece with Jordan at 14?

I'd imagine that's Foster's current team sheet, but he'll be looking really closely at Caleb Clarke in the next few games.

Clarke plays 11 for the ABs. Quality power wing. Needs a little polishing, but many do.

Also depends how Ireland will play, I have no doubt plenty of high balls.

Blues defence is disgusting

Yep, I had the Rebels as lowest scorers....

KiwiMurph

Well played Blues, some of those tries were pure class.

Starting wings will definitely be horses for courses...amongst all the previously mentioned

I'm just worried the "loyalty card" will be played to much up front...

Hey Beauds that's how you grubber to the in goal

Tim

Blues looked knackered on that last play.

He's a power winger that didn't show much power. He's really don't nothing amazing since that test Vs Oz

KiwiMurph

Just as well they changed the bonus point rule otherwise Rebels would have got a competion point for 4 tries.

Mattasaurus

Rebels allowed to score to many in the 2nd 40mins... Disappointing.

Blues looking slick with good front foot ball, and long periods of high accuracy and some excellent tries.

No YCs whoop whoop

Good point. Hadn't noticed how good their discipline was.

@Machpants Don't know what you've been watching this year, but his carrying has been excellent.

Probably changed it after Blues got one for just that.

RTS growing nicely, I like that he takes contact, puts others in space and is learning all the time.

I can only think he's focused on test rugby...Clarke is definitely a rough pick, makes a lot of errors - but hell so does Bridge (and Jordan but at least he has positives).
