QF: Blues v Tahs

@akan004 old and tired of carrying every single team he's played in.

Who'd want to be a Blues back in the sheds at halftime?

[Kirwan]

Enjoying watching Akira bumping off front rowers running the ball up. Being extremely effective on defence too.

[Bones]

How much more dangerous are the blues when both wingers pose a massive risk to the opposition...

[Kirwan]

@nostrildamus Heem will get a high five.

I'm guessing a lack of drive or confidence is a killer for a 7.

It absolutely sucks he's not going to be in black this year.

I'm very glad, I'm a fan.

Forwards look good. Akira has been great. Scrum all over them. Good at lineout time. Robinsons had 2 steals, Tucker solid enough

[Kirwan]

@Bones I know you don’t like Clarke, but he’s in the top few of the clean breaks this year. Not sure that thought holds up.

[Kirwan]

@kev Robinson has been way more effective than I expected. Good to see.

Aussie commentator on Stan talking about the ‘all-All Black front row’.

[Derpus]

I swear rugby is played to a script. Aus v Kiwi sides. Aussie side scores early, first half somewhat close but the Kiwis score either right before half time or right after.

Should be 50+ with Tahs potentially getting a consolation try.

[Tim]

Ioane's ruck work is better this season. Starting to get his carrying going this week.

[Kirwan]

@Tim his tight play has been excellent. Good lineout target too.

[Kirwan]

@Derpus Tahs have played ok, especially your angry lock.

[nostrildamus]

Blooming heck even Nepo managed to hold onto the ball and make metres! He seems to have improved in the carry this season?

It looks like he is playing a lot tighter too. Pleasing to see him working in to some form at the right end of the season.

@nostrildamus ha I saw the big fella make a good carry and thought it had to be Ofa...

[chimoaus]

Its always strange, the aussie teams seem to have great fluency in their attack but can't seem to score. The Blues in comparison have been dire with their backline moves bar the try and they are up 17-7. Most of that has been the scrum penalties, lineout steals and Akira holding up players. So my conclusion is the Tahs forwards are shit.
