QF: Blues v Tahs

nostrildamus

@nostrildamus Heem will get a high five.

I'm very glad, I'm a fan.

Forwards look good. Akira has been great. Scrum all over them. Good at lineout time. Robinsons had 2 steals, Tucker solid enough

Kirwan

@Bones I know you don’t like Clarke, but he’s in the top few of the clean breaks this year. Not sure that thought holds up.

Kirwan

@kev Robinson has been way more effective than I expected. Good to see.

I swear rugby is played to a script. Aus v Kiwi sides. Aussie side scores early, first half somewhat close but the Kiwis score either right before half time or right after.

Should be 50+ with Tahs potentially getting a consolation try.

Tim

Ioane's ruck work is better this season. Starting to get his carrying going this week.

Kirwan

@Tim his tight play has been excellent. Good lineout target too.

Kirwan

@Derpus Tahs have played ok, especially your angry lock.

nostrildamus

Blooming heck even Nepo managed to hold onto the ball and make metres! He seems to have improved in the carry this season?

It looks like he is playing a lot tighter too. Pleasing to see him working in to some form at the right end of the season.

@nostrildamus ha I saw the big fella make a good carry and thought it had to be Ofa...

Its always strange, the aussie teams seem to have great fluency in their attack but can't seem to score. The Blues in comparison have been dire with their backline moves bar the try and they are up 17-7. Most of that has been the scrum penalties, lineout steals and Akira holding up players. So my conclusion is the Tahs forwards are shit.

Ball in wrong arm. That is why it is important kids

Yep, Rugby 101.

Making better use of his power. Asking him to run the ball is not an effective use of his strengths.

Blues much better when BB canned the crap kicks.

Kicked out on the full on kick-off. I blame the mullet. If you want to be taken seriously, chum, cut your bloody hair.

Mattasaurus

Excellent defense by Heem and Talea to close that attack down

ACT Crusader

How dumb was that pass by the Tahs. The big cut out to a winger being marked

What s fucking waste beaudy, Muppet
