SF Blues v Brumbies
-
O'Keefe should be good for the Blues. His rulings at the breakdown are usually 'less loose' although if the Blues want loose breakdowns he will be happy to let it go both ways for a flowing game.
Trick will be for the Blues to be extra disciplined and let him know that without handing the Brumbies too much advantage early on. -

@Crucial Yeah with Ikitau I thought the first tackler didn't actually affect the ball carrier's height so I can't see how there would be much mitigation
Even if he did the risk was always there as Ikitau was aiming to go for a hard hit above the chest and was coming across with a late wrap.

@antipodean or someone competent....

@Duluth showed it all in those 3 tries, speed in that first one, the support play in the second, the skills to pick up in crap conditions and swerve in the third.

Rupeni is the most gifted player I have ever seen.
With the right path, he could have been one of the greatest players ever.I blame NZ immigration 😉

3 week ban for Ikitau
"I’m told he was the best trainer last Thursday."
It's the Ozzie rugby way, winning on the training gound.
Only there, but at least they won something

I expect that the honest review on Monday after that average performance will have them wanting to put in a much improved effort.
I think they'll munt the Brumbies. 20+

I hope so.
So much depends on the ref. The Brumbies were the most cynical team at the ruck I saw - just flooded it, and figured the ref wouldn't ping every time. It kinda worked, too.
Blues should get to 30, Brumbies should struggle to get to 20. But knockout footy's a funny game

@Duluth that pickup for try three is pure class
In terms of just pure entertainment, my favourite super rugby try.
His try against Scotland at the World Cup was even better

What happened to cheer leaders
I don't think the organisation saw them as popular with fans.....
