Love Rieko's celebrations. Love that it pisses Merhts off.
Boom!!

This a huge result for the Blues, the way we won it is huge
Heart and defense. Not two things the blues have been associated with for years

@mariner4life said in Blues vs Stormers:
How the fuck is Akira not an All Black? It defies belief
He swatted Kolisi away like he was a child earlier in the game. It's absolutely ridiculous that he isn't a mainstay in the squad.

With huge room for improvement.

Steph duToit has had a shocker

Yes, but we are ticking off areas that we are improving. Long way to go.

@No-Quarter squads not announced yet, watch this space I reckon
-
And that’s why Moulds isn’t ahead of Parsons.
-
Scrafton just loving being out there.
-
The Blues should try and get Josh from the Highlanders - imagine how good they'd be with three Ioane's.

I hope he is the ultimate "keep our powder dry" tactic for the RWC.
-
@No-Quarter you know the abs love one or two un analysed players in the squad
-
He's surely taking the piss with finally calling a not straight, and on that
Black has been good Mehrts? Really?
-
What’s the f’ing point of giving guys 2 or 3 minutes?
I’d love to get an honest answer from a coach on this one.
-
I think the Blues have been investing in the wrong type of hookers.

Because sitting on the bench for an entire game sucks, giving guys just a few minutes means they can blow of some steam.
-
@Kirwan haha, if it was only that straight forward....
-
Blues hanging on to a bonus point here are they?
-
What’s being forgotten here,this is a much stronger Stormers pack than what was fielded against the Canes 7 days,laden with Springboks,this has been a very good performance from the Blues pack..and this time Bryant gives the penalty advantage for the dominant scrum...
-
Well done, Blues! Good bonus point win!
-
You beauty!
-
Fuck yeah!

Really? I call bullshit, only thing they might blow in that time is a bloody hammy!
-
Congrats Blues, loads more potential in this side which must be exciting for Blues fans.

@kev said in Blues vs Stormers:
@Kirwan fuck you are kidding me. The lineout has been atrocious all night.
My point was Moulds has to be at least as good as Parsons at lineout To get ahead of him. He clearly isn’t.
I would select him.
-
Really satisfying to keep them tryless. That's a good pack we've got.

Something to do with players getting injured more often in the last ten mins to isn’t it? Might be protecting some players.

@Machpants said in Blues vs Stormers:
@Gunner that's why, you might disagree, but having guys not playing makes them annoyed/doubt themselves/think the coaches don't rate them etc. Talking to coaches that's what I've been told
theyve had guys sit on the becnh for 80 in other games this year...must be a game plan thing
-
@kev said in Blues vs Stormers:
@Kirwan that’s a point of view. Another would be that after 40 minutes Parsons starts walking. Any one would be better off the bench.
I ain’t arguing, just saying that they are picking the better thrower for an important set piece. Moulds has had years to improve and three coaches to impress.

@mariner4life said in Blues vs Stormers:
Black has been good Mehrts? Really?
"distributed well" - clearly that doesn't refer to his passing
-
@taniwharugby sure it's going to happen some times, but is the norm for everyone to get a go. So leaving a player in the bench is not ideal, even if he only gets a couple of minutes
-

Could be true, but by that stage I’d already be thinking ‘fuck you’, a couple of measly minutes wouldn’t change that
-
Very very happy with that.
Bonus point W.
Blues defence was awesome - hats off to Tana as defence coach.
Akira made errors but by fuck did he stand up against a big Saffa pack.
Tuipulotu - cripes he was good.

One of the most accurate games I’ve seen from Patrick.

@Kirwan Parsons is a better lineout thrower (don’t disagree) but he is also a slug around the field. Why have a bench and not use it? Especially when hooker is such an energy sapping position. The selection of players both for the squad and match day have been issues for years.
