@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
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.

@Gunner could be, but I'd rather have a run than not, personally
I would've been pissed off at going on for 2 minutes for anything other than injury. I'd see it as more of a fuck you from the coach.

Blues looked to be enjoying fucking people up on D which was the best part of the match for me. Pat T's 52nd minute annihilation of Bruno Elizabeth was just fucking sumptuous.
plenty of workons though, ruck ball retention especially. Blues were living off scraps due to fuckups mainly from there for the entire match.
ps Alan Parsons can fuck off and take his fucken Project with him.
Banned!

Our bench is really making a mark in games now, the second half injection of three All Blacks is working well. Four I guess if you include Pulu.
Ofa
Big Karl
Papalii
SBW
PuluMaths is hard.

How the fuck is Akira not an All Black? It defies belief
Few work-ons, too much attitude and stuck behind the Highlanders B team reserve 6.

Great win by the Blues. That is the sort of game they used to lose.
Parsons still a liability.
Nonu looked decent.
Rieko acting like a cock again after his try. He seems to be taking Akira’s quota of dickhead pills this season.
Thought Akira was pretty quiet early on but by the end he was pulling off plays that should have secured the game much earlier if they could just finish them off.Thought red wash harsh but pretty much in line with how they have been ruling it. No doubt the red card will be cancelled at the hearing.
Going to be really interesting to see how the Blues go for the rest of the year. With the way the other teams are playing they could end up second in the NZ conference.
