Stormers vs Blues

[junior]

The most impressive thing from the Blues today has been the fact it’s clear they got a good plan and they have mostly stuck to it. Stark contrast from a lot of the brainless, headless chook stuff we’ve seen from them over the years.

And as I write that Ruru has come on and completely fucked it all

[KiwiMurph]

@junior and Ruru comes on and looks like a brainless chook.

Is it just me or has Perofeta's defense been a lot better this season?

[KiwiMurph]

Not the worst cameo from Tolai I must say.

[Duluth]

Robinson has been good again. Mostly playing a tighter role. Really accurate strong tackles

[KiwiMurph]

For a 5th ranked lock who wasnt in the original squad Carroll goes well.

[KiwiMurph]

What a win!

That's the best win of Leon Macdonald's career.

Hard to pick 1 man of the match there. Eklund and Nock standing up big time were huge factors but everyone had their role.

9 Nock 10 Otere 15 Perofeta axis big tick.

[Duluth]

Undefeated away from home

[African Monkey]

@Duluth not bad considering we didn't win any last season.

Been a while since we went undefeated on our SA tour too.

[Duluth]

Marchant got man of the match. He was good, but plenty of people were

Black would’ve been my pick

@Dice First time since 2004.

Best Blues performance since..........

Wow, a number of Blues players should take a bow. When Riko dropped it cold, I thought here we go again and I was right but there is a bit of pragmatism in this side that hasn't been seen for a long time. When Black found the opposition's corner, I had to pinch myself...hold on...this is the Blues I am watching, right? Big, heavy hard working forward pack with ample play makers behind. It is early days but Leon, take a bow!

Game was won in the forwards. Big shift from 1 to 8 for the Blues. Robinson, Papali'i and Sotutu were all excellent. Tuipulotu MoM for me.

The more I see of Sotutu, the more I say Akira who?

100% agree.

@Duluth said in Stormers vs Blues:

Self inflicted 7 points

Nocks shitty pass got them down here, Karl penalised for boring in yet again then Rieko’s defence

Louw boring in, Karl didn't get under him in time to counter.

Papali'i really worked at 7. Most balanced Blues loosie perfromance I can remember for a year or two.

Jaco was everything last week's ref was not.
