QF Blues v Highlanders
-
@taniwharugby Goodhue comes onto the bench
-
no doubt 8 finalists in a 12 team comp is silly...but i still want the boys to come out and try and win the next three games, have to play whats in front of you and its up to the other teams to prove 8 is too many
-
@Kiwiwomble they absolutely have a chance and I expect this to be a tough game.
-
@Tim is that % right now, or if they won 3 on the trot?
-
@taniwharugby its 29% now and it would be 41% if we win the next three games
-
@Kiwiwomble OK...still, that's the nature of knock out footy...look how close France came to the 2011 RWC after losing to us and Tonga...
-
as i say, im not defending the format and have said before we dont deserve to be playing finals footy but these have been the margins for our losses
10, 15, 6, 12, 7, 3, 1, 11, 12,1
no complete hidings, obviously you need to win those close games to deserve to play finals but its actually whats been so annoying...we havent been as far off the pace as we have been i other seasons, we would normally have had a couple of 20-40 point hidings
but rather than browny seeing what we did ok...he's just chopped and changed things...more than other years when we had been thrashed

Papalii obviously a loss for us but Choat is a quality back up at the same who will slot in nicely. A very underrated 7, similar to the Highlanders opensides funnily enough.

Nug out. Blues by 50+.
Paps out, Landers by a million
Big blow: Blues star set to miss playoffs, in doubt for All Blacks
Exclusive: The Blues are set to be without one of their stars for the rest of the season.

Fuck losing Dalton and Blackadder is not good for the ABs If Ioanes foot flares up our strength looks a bit bare.
