<p> </p>
<p>you mean the 'on paper' team or just how they are playing? Agree if the former, but not really the latter.</p>

[kiwiinmelb]

<p>have we had many last placed teams that are better than this one ? that is what I meant , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If this is our worst team , our rugby isnt in too bad shape </p>

[hydro11]

<p>Another try to the Blues.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Must say that it isn't that the Blues are playing great rugby tonight; it's just that the Rebels are really, really shit. Did they have a party last night?</p>

[Toddy]

<p>I reckon the Blues are playing pretty good. Hopefully a good confidence booster for them.</p>

[No Quarter]

Not playing well but somehow leading by 18 points, 6 fucking tries to 2, after only 55 minutes. Riiiigghht.

Yep agree, they had close loses to the other NZ teams (Saders excepted) and are getting wins against overseas opposition. For the worst team in our conference, they are bloody tough to beat.

[No Quarter]

Also it's great to see Tuiplotu put in such a strong performance after the injury lay off. Really impressive stuff.

[taniwharugby]

<p>huge swing there on a fumble by Tuipoluto form an off-load by Li! Rebels right back in it</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Blues should be careful and not give away this game.</p>

[No Quarter]

Whoops spoke too soon, haha. Lucky try though, Blues should have scored.

[No Quarter]

I was saying after 55 minutes the Blues were fucking dominating.

[taniwharugby]

<p>nice t/o by Tuipulotu to get the Blues back on the front foot.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>FRancis misses a relatively easy kick that woulda seen a 9 point buffer</p>

[Crash]

<p>Maybe they took the first-stringers off too early? </p>

[Tim]

Well that was some bullshit.

[Bones]

Seriously, what use is Li? Tevita Liability. No idea how he gets constantly selected. <br><br>
Francis has made a couple of bad errors on defence too. <br><br>
Blues really don't seem to have any 'plays'. It really is just hit and hope stuff, works when the opposition miss 25+ tackles!

[taniwharugby]

<p>and a maul penalty goes against rebels to pretty much seal the deal</p>
