@chris I didn't notice that 😀
Yeah the folded arms and staunch look was all Rieko from the disallowed try v Landers.
-
Tom Robinson made a difference when he came on,... again. You'd think he has to start.

Missed most of the game.
How did Cullen Grace go?I thought he did his job, but won'tfeature in many yiutube videos. He is not really that type of player.

How did Cullen Grace go?He got through a power of work did a lot of the dirty tight stuff.
Be careful, those sorts of descriptions earn players not very nice nicknames....

Fuck that was some soccer level arm throwing. He's such a fluffybunny, total wimp unless it's his partner he can beat
I get he has a shitty past and people won't forget, but it was hardly soccer level. He could have easily milked that for more.
Bollx as he went down 'injured' he had the time to throw his arms out, in a pathetic way. Then lay on the ground, with nothing at all wrong. This shit needs to be stamped out of the game

Brilliant work

@frank He was solid without being spectacular. Blackadder was the standout.
Yeah a lot of Blues players got smashed about, but I wouldn't panic too much and start making wholesale changes. I wouldn't complain if Robinson came in but that's the only change I'd possibly make in the pack and maybe Eklund. The game had broken up a lot by the time a lot of the changes were made, it's questionable if they would have had the same impact had they started.
Oh, and Ruru can go to. Nock and Christie are a far better combo.

I think he should be given rotation starts but the hype about him today has been a bit overboard, he came on later in the game when most of the structure was gone and looked good, he didn't walk on water or solve world peace.
He's definitely a cult figure round here, so much so that I think we're secretly filled with gingas.

@chris It's a big game for the Blues next week funnily enough away at the Chiefs with the Chiefs getting a win. The Chiefs could have a bit of confidence after last night and it will be interesting to see how the Blues react after a loss.
If the Chiefs do win next week, it could well be a one horse race, again haha.

@african-monkey it already is a one horse race regardless of what happens next week....

I would back the Blues to get the win, but a chiefs team with their tail up at home and after watching what happened today will be thinking they have a chance.
The Blues need to trust how far they have come and stick to what they are building.But you are right you learn a lot about a team when they lose and how they respond.
The Crusaders have normally responded with a brutal showing. -

Maybe not we have a Final this season you just have to get there and anything can happen.
