Blues v Tahs

[taniwharugby]

<p>Kaino in beast mode there.</p>

[Billy Tell]

<p>Still no idea what Hansen sees in Ofa.  Although surprisingly he went ok in his AB debut.  The guy just can't scrum against decent opposition.  That's 14 points he's cost the blues.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Isn't Ofa meant to be better on the tighthead?</p>

[mimic]

<p>its a shame that ofa cant scrum, because he is great around the park.. his defence along with kaino, PT and luatua is brutal.. </p>

[Mattasaurus]

Francis you tease!

[broughie]

<p>Ok that scrum replay shows that Pryor is pushing air.   Ok who are the fuckin scrum experts?</p>

[mariner4life]

Fuck that's a great try

[taniwharugby]

<p>That Nanai is good! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What a try!</p>

<p>Ofa does look great around the field, scrums on both sides and has been better than that for most of the season. Wouldn't want to see him starting for the All Blacks though.</p>

[Billy Tell]

<p>Great try there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I remember a number of you lads giving out big-time about about Piers Francis pre-season, but he's been OK.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nanai made that though.</p>

<p>Loosies rarely push in the scrums to make any difference</p>

<p>If that was the case then the Tahs should be penalised.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think it's highly inconsistent reffing.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>that last scrum, no way was Kaino or Gibson assisting in the push.</p>

[mimic]

<p>my lord francis looked slow on the chase lol</p>

<br>
I'll put my hand up - he's been good and has turned out well.<br><br>
On the other hand, I still don't like the balance with him at 12 - particularly on D.<br><br>
He looks more and more comfortable at this level but still looks like a 10 to me.

How is Luatua not an All Black?
