Team News - Injuries and Wallaby resting force changes for Blues clash

No idea who the hell 5, 7, 19, or 22 are.

22 Bowen is a highly rated young first five out of Riverview.

The lock I believe has had a run or two off of the bench.

Surprising that Gamble isn't at 7.

@Duluth he was.....then he aggravated the knee in his 2nd contact session back. Having a knee clean out so what's that another 4-6 weeks?
He probably prepping for NPC now I'd say

[Duluth]

@Nogusta

FFS the poor guy. He’s due some good luck

[Crucial]

Kurt Eklund running out for a club game this weekend. On the bench for Mt Maunganui (dont think at hooker though. Is wearing jersey 20)

Rieko shells it. Cmon man.

None of the passing from the moment it left the maul looked accurate.

[KiwiMurph]

Someone tell the Blues to play to the conditions

[Bones]

Rieko wants to get his head in the game.

Is it dewy? Neither side are displaying professional handling sklls.

Been pissing down all day

Low % play...

[KiwiMurph]

Riccitelli is quite good at those driving plays close to the line

[antipodean]

Good grinding forward play results in a try. The poodle having a good start to the game.

[Bones]

Darry showing McLeod like improvement this season.

Good to see Clarke actually challenging tacklers too.

[Bones]

Plummer another one showing a new aspect, his abrasive play is completely unexpected.

[Victor Meldrew]

Some good cover D from the Tahs.

[Steven Harris]

Awful from Christie,3 support players to his left but runs too far and misses the opportunity

[hydro11]

Tahs lucky that tackle wasn't reviewed.

[KiwiMurph]

Blues leaving a lot of points out there

[antipodean]

Some entertaining rugby so far. If this keeps up the bench management is going to be key. Otherwise there's going to be a lot of space in the last 20mins.
