Blues v Chiefs

[African Monkey]

@gt12 Sounds like a phrase we use every year.

[Kirwan]

Nock looked good, he needs to start, same with Plummer. That first half should have won us the game, halves were poor.

[Crucial]

I think ALB made a big difference as well.

[Donsteppa]

Thank goodness for that!

I thought some parallel universe was developing where the Blues won two in a row against us.

Proverbial game of two halves...

[Hooroo]

I’ll take the credit for that one thank you. Every time I flipped back from the cricket the Chiefs would score a try. I might have a word to them to see if I should seek employment

[KiwiMurph]

Blues are going nowhere but it was a fun game.

Not good for the comp though. Same old Blues is not good news.

[antipodean]

Game of two halves. What the Blues wouldn't give for the person who gave the Chiefs half-time speech.

I still don't see any clear patterns by the Blues.

[Steven Harris]

@Tim same old problem alright.

[KiwiMurph]

The honeymoon period is over for Leon.

The Black Caps took two wickets when I changed channel in the other direction

We are much better in the forwards and on defence in general. May be same old same old, but it’s early to get too pessimistic.

Let’s start a “you’re a good luck charm” business. You look after cricket and I’ll take care of the rugby.

Chiefs were hanging in by their fingernails for most of that game. Blues lost to a piece of magic

[KiwiMurph]

Was it just me or did Blake Gibson offer bugger all?

That’s fair. They need to choose Nock and Plummer and live with it until BB gets back.

Sotutu faded too. Robinson stayed busy, same with Dalton.

But halfback was the biggest problem tonight.

[Hooroo]

Who was the dickhead who said we are getting an out of form fossil back to the Chiefs???

His field kicking was comical at times. Not sure he’s going to last long either, so be careful....

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph There's no point having him there if he doesn't start. Ioane has to come into the gameday squad next week whether it's starting or off the bench just to bring some balance to our backrow options.

Niuia also has to start next week. Eklund was showing form from his days with the Auckland Mitre 10 Cup side.

@Machpants

Duffie is fine at #15

Blues halfbacks are fucking terrible Ruru is a headless chicken Perofeta is poor & can't kick to save his life
Plummer & Black are backups at best

Blues are awful - poorly coached, high error rate, mental erros Giving up 32 pts in the 2nd half is disfracful

BB won;t make a difference if he has a bum at scrum half
Good thing Landers have a Mitre 10 squad with A Smith & Iaone or else Blues would AGAIN be worst NZ team in SR
