Blues defence is disgusting

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

[KiwiMurph]

Was hoping Tucker would score

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

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.

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...

[Bones]

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).

[Bovidae]

Although Graham Cooper doesn't seem to ref too many games he has always impressed me.

[KiwiMurph]

@Bovidae hard to tell in a game like that but would like to see more.

Classic performance of a guy with no power.
