Technically, Rieko is also a girls name.<br><br>
Or, at least, I thought she was a girl. -
<p>Great hit Sam Cane</p>

<p>no way was Bekhuis given a chance to release there</p>

<p>I like the look of Guyton over Hall, seems more decisive</p>
<p> </p>
<p>both passing a bit average</p> -

<p>Guyton's passes are not good. West has to take them standing still and often reaching over his head.<br><br><br>

<p>Seems like there's these discussions surrounding the Blues every year.</p>

<p>Beaver's off to the blood bin. TKB on at second five.</p> -
<p>Geez this Blues attack is really stifled most of the time. I think I can see what they're trying to do - look for opportunities to play quick ball around the breakdown after going side to side. But their side-to-side just needs some players hitting the ball at pace and straight to make a lot more yards and to set them away. Most of the time the ball gets passed to a player standing still, who drifts a little and passes to another player standing still and then drifting....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>From the camera angle you can clearly see the space if they just use some pace, it's quite frustrating.</p> -

Yep, they need someone like Cruden to boss that backline. So much pace and power there. -
<p>alot to like about the Blues defence when they are getting it right, really pressuring the Chiefs!</p>

<p>It's not just the backs though - and I think Cruden would still have the same problem (he'd just have to pass the ball further back as he at least looks to move forward).</p> -
<p>Marshalls throwing is a shambles.</p>

<p>Another shit lineout throw from Marshall, that's three in a row. Lucky to come away with it.</p>

Blues need to play it tight and involve Akira as much as possible. They do that then holes will start to appear.<br><br>
Chiefs need to play territory and wait for the inevitable Ranger mistake.
