Blues v Brumbies
-
Impressive power from Hoskins

@Canes4life said in Blues v Brumbies:
Awesome try by Sotutu, he's carrying very well tonight.
The whole season has been impresive.
-
Funaki works well with this pack. A good half from him again

@gt12 dumb play by Noah.
A school boy would get pulled off for that sort of stupidity
Lol in senior 3rd grade last year team I follow did it, and noone could believe how dumb hre was, well if test players can do it we owe our 10 an apology!
-
@Old-Samurai-Jack yeah, definitely stepped up. Good to see.
Plenty of exciting number 8s in NZ atm. If Razor selects Grace over the likes of Iose and Sotutu it won't go down well north of Canterbury.
-
Excellent performance so far from the Blues.

Yes, hardworking, mostly accurate. Excellent defence. Well earned lead - Brumbies rightly on nil.
-
Lolesio wanted no part of Clarke running at him on the line. Went high and submitted to being bounced off.

Looked like Dalton was tackled and got up and went again
Wasn't held
Hadn't seen it originally, but seeing the replay, that's a shocker. He had to break free of the tackler when he got up again (without releasing the ball).
-
@Canes4life Especially with the Blues fans on here haha.
Man the Blues and Canes are brutal in contact. You could see how much it has taken out of the Brumbies that half.
There will be some sore bodies after the next Blues Canes fixture.

That game is going to be massive in three weeks time. I'm glad that game isn't right before the playoffs.

I'd have Plummer in the frame for AB ten ahead of Perofeta based on last year and this year.
Really reliable player.
Perofeta is an ultra-lite Mo'unga, so overrated.
@antipodean said in Blues v Brumbies:
I'm really starting to warm to Vern as a coach.
Just now? It was pretty blinding obvious that he was going to be an improvement over completely shart the bed with selections and tactics McDonald.
-
Just keep taking the 3’s… or not.

Being an improvement was a lay down misère, having the Blues play this style this well is something else.

What do I know. The way they’re playing they have every right to back themselves.
-
Perhaps Dalton read Cully's article
-
Papalii has been huge tonight. He will shit in to the ABs preferred XV.
-
Brumbies now look like they're trying too hard and thinking ahead rather than concentrating on simple skill execution.
-
Is this the most no nonsense game from the Blues in the last 15 years? Very impressive, demolishing a good Brumbies pack.
-
McWhannell took a knock there
-
Easy RC.

Phrasing

I really like Funaki, he’s a little energiser bunny, with a nice quick pass.
Not sure where both the Blues and ABs obsession with the little ginga comes from, but I rate Funaki as a much better player.

Could not agree more
-
That will help the Canes next week, thanks Slipper. Hope McWhannell is all good.
-
That's a deserved red.
-
Hmmm...not collapsed by brumbies?
-
I also like the bit of mongrel that McWhannell has, wouldn’t look out of place in black.

Being an improvement was a lay down misère, having the Blues play this style this well is something else.
The only reason McDonald didn't get proper criticism is because the bar for improvement was so low when he took over.
The reality is he couldn't manage to get the team to perform anywhere close to their potential against the top 3 sides (with the sole exception of 2022, the year Schmidt effectively ran the show).
-
Brumbies collapsed that. Should be a PT and another YC.

I constantly criticised his coaching and selections. I think some people were just pleased it wasn't Tana or JK bad.
-
Farcical by the Brumbies. Funaki scores
-
Lonergan's a bit shit isn't he?
-
Plummer's kicking has been excellent
-
Well deserved try by Funaki, the Blues look so much more threatening at 9 compared to old mate Christie.
-
Brumbies 20 is lucky Riccitelli scored that, or he could be sitting on the sideline too. Clearly changed bind and came from offside.
-
Another strong shift from McWhannell
-
McWhannell played well. He is having a good season.
-
41-0 up and Cotter looks like he’s just sucked the life out of a lemon.
-
@Old-Samurai-Jack surely on the radar for Ryan and Robertson.
