Highlanders vs Blues
-
Umaga made the same comments about Collins last year and he barely played in pre season. Does that mean he's happy with what he saw last year??
Also Collins is hardly some experienced older head. I think you would get the same attributes from Duffie at the back but with a significant quality upgrade.
Nanai is at his best on the wing where being a ball hog is less of an issue.

This is a massive game for the Blues. Our competition is basically the battle for 4/5 in the NZ conference. Last year we lost two tight ones; hoping this time to get up and get a win.
Fark me though, it feels too soon for footy. Last year our season was over before the cricket season finished
-
Why did Nanai re-sign with us last year?
Backrow looks underwhelming, but Taramai has had a good pre-season, so hopefully he's due for a better second season.
Rieko and Duffie might have to get their attacking opportunities from kicks.
@duluth said in Highlanders vs Blues:
Fingers crossed that some of Pulu's passes are accurate.
Most fans would want most of their halfback's passes to be accurate, but we just want 'some'.
I could live with some bad passes if he played with tempo.
-
Lienert-Brown probably shoulda passed
-
He still would have had plenty of work to do, but I’m with you. I was screaming at em to pass it.
Probably can’t hear me from Tokyo.

You know how you don't miss something till it is gone?
The opposite applies to Justin Marshall
-
Brilliant from Gatland looking really good,some great lead up work from SBW,
-
still a couple of 'flat' passes being let go
But good work from SBW and Gatland
-
Good work - saw the mismatch and took advantage. If he runs a bit and slows the defense, that Blues backline will get more and more dangerous.
Cracking pass from Hoffman there too.
-
Cracking pace,the Blues have got to nail the little things
-
knock on Blue...er both wear blue!
