Blues 2020
-
@Daffy-Jaffy One positive from last season was that our ball movement was a lot better than previous seasons.
-
Gee it’s bloody hot at Takapuna ;should be at the beach instead..
-
6min Ben Lam Converted in the corner after some concerted pressure by the forwards, converted By Smith
11min Tony Lambourn a try in the corner converted by Perofeta ..great break by Perofeta that lead up to the try..and some great blindside work saw a well finished try..7-7
-
15min Jordon Hyland scores in the corner after some great work in the midfield ...conversion astray Blues 12-7
James Tucker leaves field with what looks like a knee injury -
@Steven-Harris ah man that sucks if it's bad
-
25min great sustained pressure from the Blues ,Dalton Papalii scores from a quick tap..all off the back of a great line out drive..
Blues 17-7 -
Really impressed Papalii..also Joe Marchant showing some great touches, looks to have superb footwork...and strength for a guy who does not look that big..
-
First scrum after 27minutes..wtf..
-
@Steven-Harris Anything to say about the Hurricanes players?
-
2 dominant scrums from the Blues
-
34 minutes..not sure who the try scorer is , maybe Riccitelli .or Chase Tiatia after a series of drives ..try converted 14-17 Blues
-
@Steven-Harris most likely Riccitelli, Tiaita usually stays away from dark places.
-
@Stargazer Laumape has been a constant threat with ball in hand,but much of the Canes passing has been sloppy ..Kirifi and Liam Mitchell along with Riccitelli the best in the forwards.
-
@Canes4life It was indeed Riccitelli, according to the Hurricanes twitter.
-
Halftime 17-14 Blues ...
Only 2 scrums in the first half ..
Canes will have the wind in the 2nd half...
Ben Lam has looked sharp when he has had ball...plenty of effort going in from both teams ,,Akira Ioane also getting through some work,Josh Goodhue since he has come on is getting though a ton of wok, has carried several times already .forgot to mention Mark Talea...the man has some wheels and footwork , Chase Tiatia was kept reasonably quiet..plenty of defenders on him -
@Steven-Harris apart from Tucker, good to hear there hasn't been any more injuries.
-
@Canes4life Tony Lambourne took a head knock..he’s actually surprised me, has looked very busy..!
-
2m Akira Ioane scores ,a brilliant break from Plummer in the lead up, taped backwards of the Canes line..Akira pounced ...Blues 22-14
-
8m Great off load from Tom Robinson to Sam Nock who runs 40metres to touch down..Robinson got amazing acceleration off the mark ..Plummerwho looks really good converts ..Blues 29-14
