Blues still don’t have a lineout.

I worry about Leon. Surely you sub Akira on as an extra lineout option

The Darry injury makes it hard to make an early loose forward sub.

So you sit on your hands whilst your lineout gets destroyed?

Make a brave decision.

Reds subbed their whole front row after 37 mins last night.

Front rowers can come back on

An injury from 4-8 would result in Eklund playing as a loosie if you use up that sub. It’s a huge risk

You might be right but there are two locks out there. Should be enough to win a lineout. Teams should also train for these circumstances - over a season you are not always going to have your best options out there.

Chris B.

Think Grace and Strange have gone really well for us.

That blood bin for Jager will be pretty handy in terms of keeping some legs in our props - especially because KSM looks pretty vulnerable.

Bovidae

Use Suafoa or Sotutu at the front. Quick, short throw and get the ball out.

You could have brought Ioane on at lock, that's the only logical way to do that.

and feet.

Gunner

Blues, with the rocks and diamonds start to the 2nd half

Victor Meldrew

Why does Barrett bother kicking? Wouldn't it be easier to just give the ball away?

antipodean

With no possession, Beauden decides to kick, too deep for chasers and too short to gain time.

Predictably the Crusaders score.

Jailbreak7

Lovely try! But Paps is gone YC

KiwiMurph

Sotutu has been highly underwhelming.

Mo'unga ran straight through him

Canes4life

It will end up being red card and should be a suspension. 2-3 weeks if they are consistent.

hydro11

Terrific try and fair yellow - looked like a knock on from the Crusaders, I assume they checked it.

Jailbreak7

Our 10s all need to work on their place kicking.

Obvious in real time.

KiwiMurph

So once again Razor destroys Leon

Gunner

When will BB be dropped for his undying love of shit kicks?

Chris B.

Really nice by Ennor and Havili. Good try.

Tim

Was there a knock on in the lead up? Another shite exit from Barrett.
