QF: Blues v Tahs

nostrildamus

Heem is noticeable in the defensive line., makes good decisions regularly and attacks well. I know he's 34 but he really wouldn't look out of place in a darker jersey

and he distributes!

nostrildamus

but Sullivan is kicking / playing well?

His Bobness

Barrett’s kicking is appalling. He’d be better going to fullback and swap with Sullivan.

You knock the ball on and get it back. Don't understand this goal line dropout rule.

From the defending team's POV, a goal-line dropout is often safer than having to win a 5-metre scrum.

Or running or passing the ball, its almost criminal the amount of ball he kicks away considering the talent outside him...

Damo

If Blues can keep winning scrum PK's they ought to get home here.

I would have gone for 3 though.

Ofa has impressed at loosehead in recent weeks.

The 'he's holding back for the important part of the season' peddled by gregor and other media Muppets is showing too be utter bullshit. I've never seen such shit from an experienced ab

Poor option to try for the line when likely held up.

nostrildamus

There are so many powerful parts to the Blues that so often fail to click.

Yup kiwi teams in general have adapted poorly to this rule change .....( goal line drop out)

chimoaus

I have no idea what is wrong with BB, I thought those kicks were from coaches but he does the same in Blue or Black.

taniwharugby

did that come off Christie into Dalton

Donsteppa

Very effective from the Blues. Don't feed those backs, and good things will happen.

kev

Forwards show backs how to hold the ball…

Machpants

Good try. Important lesson, don't give it to ginger nine to (eventually and far too slowly) maker a decision, or beaudy to kick it away wastefully

antipodean

Strong carries, good support and cleans. The Blues forwards are doing some excellent work.

chimoaus

Blues need to adopt England circa 03 and keep it up front.
