Blues v Tahs
-
<p>outstanding defence there by Blues, commitment by Francis I think it was on the loose ball</p>

<p>Great try saving hit by Li?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>yep, were 2 try saving tackles in the last couple by Pryor and Li.</p> -
<p>Ofa really has not had this problem most of this year. Last year yes. Obviously the AB selectors see something in him. Is it who is behind him namely Pryor and Bekhuis? You have to like his tackling and taking the ball to the line. Is he really that bad a scrummager?</p>
-
<p>So, Hooper tackles Pryor off the ball. Then tackles him again when he gets back up and tries to get back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How is that not a YC??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, Blues are tracking OK in this game, and should (hopefully) hand the Aussie conference to the Brumbies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tuipolotou's physicality is great, and I'm liking Pryor.</p> -

<p>Didn't look like a lot coming from behind him ...who's the tight head lock?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Bekhuis. We'll get a better view in the 2nd half but Ofa is saying to the ref that Ryan is angling in. All props do that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Very average from an AB prop. I think Ofa was also the reason the Blues lost the ball at that ruck at the end as he tried to clean and dislodged the ball forward. </p> -

<p>Looked to me Pryor lashed out with his foot with Hooper playing him late, luckily he didnt connect and thats why Hooper hit him when he got up and Pryor reacted...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But Pryor looking v-good again.</p> -

<p>for being dominatedby his opposite? I dont agree with the sentiment there, but not sure what you do otherwise</p>

<p>I've seen plenty of yellows given for that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fraser is penalising him for standing up - after three for the same thing that is persistent infringing. Agree that it's a bit unfortunate when you're not capable of staying in the scrum, but that's the way it's been reffed in recent times whenever I've been watching.</p> -

<p>I know plenty are given for it, but I dont agree with the reasoning, but also dont have a solution.</p> -

Folau actually seems to hinder the tahs mid field...drifting...no straightening and not a particularly good pass either... bit of a waste for mine
-
<p>and another pop by Ofa and another PT</p>
-
<p>7 point change with Faumuina on</p>
-
Kaino in to beast mode
-
Ofa copped it tonight, but i hope they can teach him to scrum because he's huge around the park
