There's some borderline high tackles from both sides here, they need to sort that with NH ref

Christie and Smith are far and away the top 2. Bring in one of the R's as number 3 for the AB's (if Fakatava is unavailable).

That's Smith and Daylight. Christie third.

Can't really agree anymore, Christie has definite aspects (that rip before was a beaut) that are superior to Smith - he's crucial to these kinds of blues performances.

Turnovers? And what else?

He made a fair few errors first half

Yep. That kick out on the full. Stuffing around at the back of rucks. Etc.

KiwiMurph

Vikena good lad after stuffing up the throw earlier.

46-19, maul try by blues, just over 10 to go

Mattasaurus

Mcdermott speech will interest me, he was pretty unhappy with the performance last week..

Big call but Blues have got this comp in the bag

Blues Saders final at Eden Park, would be awesome.

Lol you never know mate the Canes were dominant like this in 2015 and we know what happened. Still plenty of footy to be played yet.

Yeah I reckon Smith has probably had recent errors too...

KiwiMurph

Clarke's defence is a real problem

Ug, planted his feet and was run around

chimoaus

Some beautiful play by Reds results in nice try.

Tim

Great try.

46-26, 8 to go. Blues on the bonus point 3 more tries ATM

Tim

Wonder what effect R Ioane's absence has on the defence?

Mattasaurus

Tom Robertson has got through a mountain of work tonight.

KiwiMurph

Good ruck pressure

You reckon he normally covers Clarke's rubbish?
