Blues v Waratahs

Rieko wants to get his head in the game.

Is it dewy? Neither side are displaying professional handling sklls.

Been pissing down all day

[taniwharugby]

Low % play...

[KiwiMurph]

Riccitelli is quite good at those driving plays close to the line

[antipodean]

Good grinding forward play results in a try. The poodle having a good start to the game.

[Bones]

Darry showing McLeod like improvement this season.

Good to see Clarke actually challenging tacklers too.

[Bones]

Plummer another one showing a new aspect, his abrasive play is completely unexpected.

[Victor Meldrew]

Some good cover D from the Tahs.

[Steven Harris]

Awful from Christie,3 support players to his left but runs too far and misses the opportunity

[hydro11]

Tahs lucky that tackle wasn't reviewed.

[KiwiMurph]

Blues leaving a lot of points out there

[antipodean]

Some entertaining rugby so far. If this keeps up the bench management is going to be key. Otherwise there's going to be a lot of space in the last 20mins.

Some poor linking play and decision-making for sure.

[Steven Harris]

@Bones personally I’m not convinced on Plummers distribution skills he’s getting some love from Auckland and the Blues coaches at the minute
Explains why Corey Evans wants out of Auckland

[Bones]

Clarke again with the staying on his feet into the tackle. I like this guy! That's going to tell on tired defenders.

Evans problem is his size.

I think it was the last game he was key to getting that backline humming. Hit it up with vigour and made a difference, as well as a lot of tidy up and the "little things".
