Blues v Rebels

@Stargazer said in Blues v Rebels:

That first half was a nice training run. It's fun seeing the tries, but as a match it's ten times nothing. The Rebels are rubbish.

I'm enjoying it. Would be awful to watch the crusaders do though.

Fozzie needs to have this first half on repeat to show Rieko.

This is how you play 13.

[Stargazer]

@Bones Yeah, that's what I said, watching the tries being scored is fun. It's just not a good match, because the Rebels are so shi*t.

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer was a similar story Blues Rebels last year in Melb in terms of how easily blues get over the gain line

Rieko needs to watch his own performance to know how to play 13?

Brilliant.

Love seeing the pick and goes, just keep them working..

It's the precision which is impressing me. Everything is clicking, quick decision making and almost zero mistakes.

At this point we should just send the entire Blues squad to face Ireland instead of the All Blacks.

@Stargazer they are, but the blues still need to do the business.

They are playing with pace and accuracy, running at space with speed, everyone on the same page, minimal errors and just not giving the Rebels the chance to regroup and get into the game.

@KiwiMurph Pretty much. Its a carbon copy of last year and how they can't put our ball carriers to ground.

The try from Telea was a nice watch despite the weak defence.

Is someone paying the Rebels' players for this performance?
Blues are going well though.

I was thinking the Blues 6/7/8 could be AB's best combination - though wither Sam Cane? Foster sure has done a great job developing talent in those positions.

[Bones]

Fucking love that. Parling looking on the edge of topping himself 😂

[Pepe]

That was average box kick

[KiwiMurph]

Lovely touch from Kellaway there. You can see why his game translates well to test level

[Derpus]

Rebels have turned me. Cut 'em.

[antipodean]

That was magnificent defence. Especially by Rieko!

[Bones]

That's a cracking kick from Christie

[Duluth]

Huge hit by Robinson
