WOW
Blues midfield made Ennor look like Philippe Sella
Two horse race now for the ABs number 10 shirt
Based on this performance, RM in pole
Jordan is a thoroughbred
The people saying Jordan was a marginal call for the Allblacks squad need to delete their accounts.
A batshit mental opinion.
The boy is a freak.
100%

Taylor, Barrett, Mo’unga, Fainga’anuku, Jordan and even Ennor all played well.
Ennor gets unfair flack in my opinion. He's a decent player.

I thought he was going to be a 70 cap allblack when he first arrived

Stop it at 14 seconds and look how compressed the Blues defensive line is.
They end up with three men on Lio-Willie and two on Jordan - and neither get the ball.
Sullivan left in no-man's land with a two on one.
56 seconds and it's a bit reminiscent of what Ireland did to us.
Telea thinks Richie's going to throw the long skip pass to Ennor again (think Beaudy going for an intercept), but this time it's short to Will and he's got a big hole to run into.

I think Ennor has been much better this season than seasons prior

@Winger That's such a cliché.
Unless you're Jordie against Italy.

Ennor
Easier to look good in a team that's winning so easily.
Contributing to that winning is all that matters

You have to accept that the breakdown is a mess with Gardner. Best to try to be dominant/physical and take your chances.
AG was pants, but you play to the whistle. Blues ought to have just abandoned the rule book, grasped AG's indulgent style and let chaos prevail.
Mind you one has to take one's hat off to the Saders's ability to lurk offside a whole match without being penalised out of the game.

Finals are about applying pressure and Blues don't play a style that applies pressure.
Their kicking game doesn't apply pressure and their attacking shape doesn't apply pressure.
Their attacking shape if anything invites pressure by involving a lot of standing still, passing behind the gain line and slow developing plays. Anything but direct.

The Chiefs v Brumbies game will be interesting, expecting a nail biter of a game. Saders would probably prefer facing the Brumbies at home. Macmillan said he was hoping tonight's game would see each team bash each other up. It was a statement by the Saders to towel up such a starstudded side.
