    That's a strong Rebels starting XV. Not sure 13 is Kellaway's best position.

    Rebels will be eyeing up a scalp.

    I would expect a rugby team to be trying to win, so well yes.

    McDonald's Blues record against the Force is pretty impressive, and the Blues have named a strong side here. I'm very confident.

    Ili got injured, last week, so maybe this is their best alternative?

    I assume you mean the Rebels.

    My point is I think this Rebels team is a lot better than the rabble the Blues have smashed in recent seasons.

    These rest weeks for part-time All Blacks - Sotutu, Perofeta - are kind of stupid.

    Would have like to have seen Beauden Barret at 15 (where he actually plays for the ABs) and the more solid (hopefully) Perofeta at 10.

    “A schoolboy error”. Bet there are plenty of schoolboys in Rugby at the moment shaking their heads in disagreement

    The Blues are paying $1.13. Should be an easy 20 point win.

    Interesting that Robinson doesn't get a start when Sotutu is resting and Akira is still injured. Another sign that they are moving on from him (which makes sense as he's leaving at the end of the year)

    All 3 loosies best position is openside

    Looks like it's the openside memorial round for all teams.

    They appear delusional or disingenuous.

    This has banana skin written all over it.

    The Blues need to make a statement in this one with a thumping. Still can’t believe Barrett gets
    the nod at 10.

    @Canes4life Lol every time the Blues play against less opposition it seems to have banana skin all over it. People were saying the same before the Force game.

    And meh, as long as we win it doesn't really matter. Your beloved Canes barely got past them so why do we all of a sudden need a statement victory here?

    We also won 15 straight last year with no title, so the moral of the story is, peak at the right time. Virtually everyone makes the finals, so as long as you get it right at the business end, these fixtures don't really matter too much.

    What are your thoughts on Beauden at 10 this season?

    The Blues were talked up at the start of the season as almost certain finalists but they haven’t really looked like it to be fair. They’ve been dealt to by the Crusaders and Chiefs recently so the fact they have to rest of few players against a pretty solid looking Rebels team away suggests an upset could be on the cards.

    The Blues look low on confidence so to put down a statement performance and to get some swag back in their game is almost a must.

    Guys like Beaudy have been arse this year so it’s the perfect opportunity for him to find some form against a lower ranked opposition.
