Stormers vs Blues
-
Amazing how different the Blues can look with faster, more accurate service from the ruck. It would be helpful if Nock made up his mind before removing the ball from the ruck.
-
Nock's box kick is something else. Good length and height.
-
Telea isn't big, but he's so hard to get down.
-
Keep it in the scrum again. Take some gas out of the Stormers
-
Blues might regret turning down that 3.
-
Peyper not much interest in forward passes!
-
Nice to see a Kiwi team winning the territorial battle for a change
-
Blues option taking really impressing me from what I’ve seen. Regularly mixing up forward rumbles, going wide and midfield runs.
Keeping them pinned down in the stormers half.
-
Tuipulotu looks fucking massive.
-
Good shift from Pierce. Didn't look out of place.
-
Rieko not looking great at centre. I think we should just put him back at wing now and get Marchant at centre.

Yep shifted the point of attack and worked the blindside quite well too

Unfortunately he’s not looking quick enough to be playing on the wing at the moment

Someone just needs to tell him to stop the miracle bullshit and play to the pattern like everyone else.

He’s also going to ground too easily for a proper midfielder. Needs to work on holding his feet and driving his legs that fraction longer
-
Oh fuck here comes Ruru
-
Wouldn’t have taken that 3. Time pressure going to get to stormers more than 3 points

Although having said that, he’s made the most metres of anyone on the pitch.

That's the best game Nock has ever played.
He must be the new starting 9.

Organised. Decisive. Pretty accurate. Pretty much everything you want in your 9.
-
He was mostly good. I wouldn’t call him decisive though
-
The more I see of Sotutu, the more I say Akira who?
-

Compared to Ruru he fucking is!
-
Very good game from Otere.
Ballsy to take him off to be honest.
-
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
-
Is it just me or has Perofeta's defense been a lot better this season?
-
Not the worst cameo from Tolai I must say.
-
Robinson has been good again. Mostly playing a tighter role. Really accurate strong tackles
-
For a 5th ranked lock who wasnt in the original squad Carroll goes well.
-
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.
-
Undefeated away from home
-
@Duluth not bad considering we didn't win any last season.

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