Just watched this one. Can't believe how dumb IWL plays match after match and looks like it is all a big joke. Sangster is missed. But Laulala is no better. Did several grubby things. Wonder if there may be citings after this.
Blues deserved win. Sotutu and Tucker did so much great work and Christie too. RTS is improving but what is with Rieko and his vision and distribution? Some great defence though.
Savea Jordie and Roigard were all threatening for Canes and Rayasi and Flanders had some good moments. -
Canes dumb. Just dumb.

Yep. Bring back JGB... at lock or wing and increase the average intelligence of the team.
And Jordie seems to play two positions simultaneously... because he has to.

Good win for the Blues. Credit to them for repelling Canes repeatedly on their line. Sotutu and Paps put in huge shifts.

Not a bad shift from the young fella. He needs to start the big games with Ardie. Kirifi just isn’t big enough.

He's one hell of a unit for a young fella. Looks a bit awkward when it comes to running though. I hope as he bulks up with age and training he doesn't slow down too much or lose agility.

How in the fuck do we need video refs if we are going to have absolute howlers still go missing. Get rid of them.
Beauden Barrett should not be near an AB 10 Jersey. The older he gets, the worse he gets.
Just signed a long term contract with the ABs to "close out" his career in NZ.
By the time he is 40 playing First five for the AB's he should still be able to kick the ball 5 metres.

Poor execution on the last play from scrummage there. Not quite sure what the plan was and wondering why they didn’t go left with the numbers.
I like Aumua on the bench. He’s more effective when the game has broken down a little and good to have him at the business end. Canes have some lads in that team now.
And as for Hoskins, looks like he’s added some steak to go with the sizzle. Helluva game from him.

@Kirwan True. But while tackling Moorby, Dalton tried to pull his head off so maybe the TMO thought if he gave the try it wouldn't end up a yellow and PT.
Yep I wondered the same at the time. Thought Dalton had given away a penalty try so that is why they left it at a try.
