And again. Wtf? Why wouldn't you use the wind the one chance you have the opportunity?!? -
<p>Well JK can not be blamed for this</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Tana holding a poisoned chalice ... based on this performance where would you even start?</p> -
Pass is fine.

<p>wow.. what a gullible Muppet I am .. reading all the reports about the Blues win last weekend I thought something had changed from last year.. that was plain bloody awful stuff. Tana has plenty of work to do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Saders played conditions well and actually appeared to have a plan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For my 1st game of super rugby this year..... well if I was at a restaurant and served that ... I would've dam near slapped the prick who put it on the table</p> -
<p>All over, 28-13 to the Saders.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last week I was stoked to get some incredible games out of the first round but this was the kind of game I expect from the first couple of rounds. Dire, mistake ridden rugby. The Saders didn't even look good (apart from those early scrums) but they still made the Blues look like a joke.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sure hope we get some better games tomorrow.</p> -

<p>Tana made a lot of changes in the team for this week and they didn't work. Blues were a lot better last week.</p> -
Fucking hell that was shite. A joke of a performance by the Blues. Faumuina looked good, Ioane looked good, Gibson got through a shitload of work. Ranger looked better. That is about it. It was a mistake not to pull Nanai - it was clear he was having a mare. Duffie looks nothing special.<br><br>
Crusaders forwards effort and breakdown work was exceptional but a better team would have at least got the bonus point. -
Well that will teach me to pick the Blues. WTF was I thinking?
-
<p>Weird game , Crusaders were far better and deserved to win by a margin , but there was always a possibility until late , the Blues might pinch it , if somehow they could sort of , work out what to do when they had possession , </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> overall I found it a bloody tough watch </p> -

<p>Tana's changes weren't the problem tonight, the tight 5 got smashed, Crusaders were very good there. I was pretty impressed with young Blake again tonight, geez he did a mountain of work in a pack that was getting snotted!</p>

<p> That was a bad miss by him on Nadolo allowing him to get up a huge head of steam like that resulted in the try which decided the game</p> -

<p>I'm counting on the Brumbies v Waratahs game to be a good one ... So hopefully tonight.</p> -
<p>That was tough viewing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nadolo just bumped Duffie back into the Development team. No Smith, Cronk or Slater to make you shine over here, mate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm tempted for us to shift Ranger to the outside backs and move Sa'u back into centre. There's probably not enough experience in the back 3.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scrum was horrible, but got a little better as the game wore on. Faumuina has to start next week.</p> -
<p>Crusaders pretty much dominated the whole game but geez they lack penetration in the backline. Nadolo is good with a run up but macilai hardly saw the ball and the rest were very meh.<br>
Said it after the last game but with Crotty, Dagg and Fruen (is he coming back?) added to their backs they will look a lot better.<br><br>
Thought a lot of the guys tana swapped in this week looked crap. Having said that i hope R Ioane get a shot on one of the wings soon.</p>
