Dunno. I expected to lose both of them thanks to Tana

[taniwharugby]

@kirwan that makes me want to join RS on the Barrett train.

What the fuck is up with Rieko? He's being a dick.

Can you imagine how frustrating it must be to be one of the best players in the world and you play for the Blues?

It's like he's taken his brothers dickhead pills. Akira has been an angel.

Umaga confirmed both resigned via his PR man Patrick McKendry

Probably too tired for backchat with all those running metres

That's a main selection criteria for AB loose forwards! 😊

[Kirwan]

Told my son that we’d lose 20ish to 40ish before the game. Canes should get 50 really against this team

Don’t start that again, Akira is the form number eight in the country. It’s mad that he’s not in the AB squad.

The bus loses a wheel

[Kirwan]

Savea unlucky not to score then

[KiwiMurph]

@kirwan he fucked it.

[Stargazer]

Full time: Hurricanes 42 - 24 Blues

[Kirwan]

Final score 24-42.

Blues weren’t as bad as normal but not even close tonight.

[taniwharugby]

@kiwimurph good timing on the double team

[kev]

The Blues backline defence cost them that game. Selection and coaching plays a big part in that. That channel between 1st and 2nd or straight over first needed attention. Other sides shift bigger players in to cope. Blues did nothing.

Shades of the finals loss a few years ago and the Lions series spill

[ShadowTrooper]

See Rieko having a chat with Laumape, probably asking for some pointers on D

They were within 4 or so until Laumape's late brace

[Kirwan]

So imagine if the Canes got Akira, in that game they get a guy who runs 70m in the game, wins lineouts, scores trys, makes clean breaks.

Thompson ran 7 metres.

[Chris B.]

Fucking Tana - it's obvious! Tackle Laumape - stop him scoring tries.

Well, my evening as a Blues supporter was shit. I might not try that again!
