@canefan enjoy the win, the blues had a fucking awesome season and it's been pretty to watch too. You should be proud.

But they weren't playing against international sides.

The point you are missing is we want the ABs to pick a powerful forward pack and play close before going wide.

Instead of the fluffy flair oriented crap from the past four years.

@Duluth Put it all up mate, the more I think about the win, the happier I get, keep 'em coming!

Problem is I live in AKL, but I'm a Canes fan (you know, @canefan? )

I don't know where I said otherwise.

A better way to put it - the blues are playing world cup winning rugby just as much as Leinster and La Rochelle were last year.

Well that’s what we were talking about, how about you explain why the Blues game plan wouldn’t work at international level.

Or explain what your post meant. Or keep replying to points nobody is making.

Nope. The Blues are playing a style that will translate well into test level. It is a classic style that has served the ABs in the past, and will do so again. How is that difficult to understand, or are you deliberately trying to troll us?

Only about the 3rd game I watched all season but blues were excellent to a man. Fantastic display and just wiped the floor with the chiefs.

I am still stoked. Feels like this:

Kicking metres:

Different kicking tactics from the teams. Total kick metres was similar but the Blues used the halfbacks more (which makes sense given the weather) and the Chiefs relied heavily on McKenzie

Also, a few more attacking kicks adding to the variety

[nostrildamus]

I didn't realize Lam kicked that much. This is good.

[Duluth]

@nostrildamus

Two kicks. I only remember one but guess they both got decent metres

[Dice]

Finally!

Happy for everyone involved, including the Blues boys on here.
