Rebels v Blues

@Kirwan said in Rebels v Blues:
McDonald's Blues record against the Force is pretty impressive, and the Blues have named a strong side here. I'm very confident.
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.

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

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.

A best winning streak of two - looks like a losss on the cards then sigh

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.
Building up the viewing numbers from inciting both the doubters and the believers?

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.

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.

@Canes4life I have not been impressed with our tight 5.
And perofeta>>barrett but only fans seem to think that -

Yeah you make some good points, but a solid Rebels outfit? The Blues may not be clicking yet against good opposition which is fine, but I still expect them to deal with the Rebels comfortably.

@Canes4life I wouldn't say the Blues were 'dealt to' by the Saders and Chiefs. The Blues weren't far off in either of those two games.

Yeah the Blues should do the business with the cattle they have, I only really made the statement due to the need to rest a few players. If I had to put my house on it I would obviously pick the Blues comfortably but you just never know, the Rebels are that sort of team that stay in the fight.
