Blues vs Jags

[SammyC]

<p>To be honest, I think the Crusaders are seeing some benefit from not having McCaw in the team.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>the last few years it was pretty obvious he only got into top shape when the AB season was looming.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last year he had the worst tackle percentage of all NZ loose forwards in the comp. This year we have some of the best in this area.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Franks has hit this season in much better form than the previous few. </p>

<p>ACL - out for the whole Super Rugby season. Hopefully ITM Cup can get some game time. I still fear his body isn't cut out for this level of rugby.</p>

<p>It was meant to be rainy, but the weather is looking primo. Why do I even check the Auckland weather forecast anymore?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully it stays fine for the match.</p>

<p>If he's listed at 92kg, I think a few more kilos should do it. 96 should be a good weight for his height.</p>

Be interesting to see how the midfield works out tonight. Been wondering whether a longer term solution might be to move Visinia to the wing and bring in a playmaker at 15 to help out West a bit more.

[gt12]

Gibson penalized right away, but jags don't kick for goal - to the corner for an LO.

[gt12]

Another penalty against Blues. Another LO.

[gt12]

Two quick penalties at the breakdown could end up problematic.<br><br>
Jags 5 out.

[Glath]

<p>Butchered.</p>

[gt12]

13 just fucks it up!<br><br>
Chip through and dropped it with the line open...

[gt12]

Scrum time.<br><br>
Blues good enough.

[gt12]

Another break down penalty against the blues.

[gt12]

Jags been making pretty easy meters so far through montero

[Tordah]

<p>what was up with that lineout, Jaguar player jumping straight into the Blues line, ref should penalise them</p>

[gt12]

Blues offside.<br><br>
4 penalties in 7 minutes...

[gt12]

Jags with a shot. <br><br>
Gonzales makes it.<br><br>
0-3 after 9.

[gt12]

Blues have hardly touched it.

[Tim]

I think I shall get drunk.

[mariner4life]

Some of these penalties are pretty rough

[gt12]

Good break by Jags 9. Taken out by defender and Jags another kick to the corner.<br><br>
5 penalties...
