@Northlandallday Needs to work on his throwing though.

First throw overthrow not good, the rest were spot on. Did ya see P-T wild throw and Parsons numerous miss throws.

Damo

Some great performances... too many to call out.

Squires showed exactly what tge ab selectors wanted i would say

He's an excellent impact player.

@Damo seems a bit picky choosy for me

I thought that was a better game for the Blues but still too many individual errors. Fekitoa was awesome. Just played tough, kept coming and by the end he and Buckman had won the midfbield battle against the Auckland stars.

Veitchy is running with tapegate on his FB page too.
There are some serious fucking idiots who post on social media.

I hate Veitch, but he knows how to get hits.

Tim

Do the Blues have a fitness problem the way they fade in the 2nd half of these big games.

KiwiMurph

@Tim I thought the same thing during the game. Their intensity just drops.

canefan

They had enough chances to win the game. They just don't have the confidence to finish off right now

SBW makes my rugby dick hard. Fuck off @MN5 stop proving you know fuck all.

Nutbrown has out the whistle away and it's a free for all at the moment

That comment is still less gay than liking Nicole Kidman I guess

Surely a player, regardless of their religion can't be allowed to cover up a sponsors logo.

If I was that sponsor I'd be pretty fucking pissed having no doubt paid thousands of dollars for the right to have a logo there.

Cant be different rules for different people, especially religion based ones.

It happened in cricket..
Michael Jones didn't play on Sundays..
If you're not careful you could lose those players for good.. Sometimes even money can't pay for people's values..

Yeah Fekitoa's best game for some time. He was a monster on defence and showed a few nice touches in attack.

Dixon played really well in that 2nd half. Tackled like a demon and covered a lot of ground.

Francis was excellent I thought.

Not much in these teams and in Orcs it could've been the other way round.

A good game to watch.

I'm going off Fekitoa, just turns the ball over too much and can be a liability on attack in terms of feeding others in space. Still, he's bloody good at getting on the outside shoulder and great on defence.

Ref wasn't great, but that wasn't the reason the Blues lost. They have plenty of talent there but it seems not many rugby brains. Far too many errors and the lineout is utter shit. I heart Umaga, but I'm not sure he's that good a coach. This team just don't appear well-drilled, well led or well conditioned. Must must obscenely frustrating for Blues fans.

Duffie must be close to AB selection surely. His aerial skills alone are pure gold at test level.

Bones

There's just something about Duffie that strikes me as an average test option. I can't pinpoint it, he's playing some great footy though. Must be the mabo.

It's because he's a skinny white guy isn't it? Racist.

That quota is filled though by Bogan, Bender and FABJB...
