Ioane dropping the ball could prove costly. Too worried about how big his celebration was going to be?
Zzzzzz.
He’s been awesome
Those hands for the Tele'a try were something else. One second the ball was tucked, split second later sweetly across placed in front of tele'a.

@Tim totally agree the time wasting been ridiculous, also that last lineout should have been played..went over the line before the siren went..Nonu had every right to question it.

Can see his future is at 13 when he starts to slow down a bit.

@Steven-Harris siren is not official time, that's why the ref was asking his mic'd up time keeper

Yes, but would have rather we ran it. Stormers were out on their feet.

Great steal Akira right on halftime.
Him and Patrick have been huge on defence. Special mention to Robinson too
I like that big ginger

@Kirwan I agree with Patrick and especially Robertson but for me Akira noticeably lacks impact on D. Seems to never get a good shoulder on, more of a grabbing motion or trying to hold people up. A couple of times players have gone through him.
-
@98blueandgold Yep, I noticed the Stormers hooker doing just that (going through him, I mean).

@broughie said in Blues vs Stormers:
@Kirwan He has been good but 3 yards from the line and he should not drop the ball.
He was in a tackle reaching out to try and score the try - FFS there's some hard markers on here ... it wasn't like he dropped it cold with no defenders (like Cully and Jonah did in that match against the Tahs IIRC).

He's getting better playing consistently too.

Making stuff up again? At least you are consistent

Yeah, his play has caught up with the hype I feel - although I'd still like to see Papali'i have a run at 6.

Haha oh well shit good on him then! No international winger worth their salt has EVER scored a try in the tackle at the level below tests. We should be congratulating him on such a great knock on.

Settle down, posters are making out that he didn't give a shit - he was trying to score the try but the ball got knocked free.
No one has said he should be congratulated for it ....
