As a Blues fan, you may have forgotten this, but yes, winning games is what it is all about

That's right - when Blues smashed Rebels in round 1 a few years back it was an awesome season...

Oh wait...

Have to say, as comparisons go, that one's pretty....😉

Who called that line out?

Way to put some pressure on the overthrow.

Landers get out of jail with a turnover.

[gt12]

Landers get 3, but they’re terribly inaccurate so far.

Scrum looks ok here though.

[antipodean]

Gardner's dreaming giving that second scrum penalty to the Clan.

[KiwiMurph]

@antipodean haha yeah Highlanders prop was driving sideways right in front of him

I thought the angle of the LH looked dodgy? It’ll be interesting to see if Gardner picks it up next time

[gt12]

@Duluth

Yeah, it looked pretty dodgy on the replay.

[gt12]

Jesus, Hunt just passing it to them.

[gt12]

Landers getting hammered at the breakdown.

[Crazy Horse]

Parkinson is still playing 'soft'. For such a big man he wins bugger all collisions.

[gt12]

Wtf is Thompson doing?

[Chris]

10 penalties already FFS Gardner making this a stop start game

[Tim]

Scrappy shit.

[Chris]

11 penalties shit game no flow

[Stargazer]

@Chris He's correct though? What else is he supposed to do? Letting them go offside, collapse mauls etc?

[Stargazer]

Mikaele-Tu'uu looking very good.

[Crazy Horse]

If this game is anything to go by it's going to be another season of NZ teams struggling against the rush defence.

[Chris]

There is some leeway there you have to have some feel for the flow I don’t think he’s been correct on all 11
If the Landers keep throwing this long cut out they are going to give some tries away

A couple of the breakdown penalties have rewarded the defender not immediately getting clear which is compounding the problem.
