Great defence from the Blues, poor wet weather decision making from the Jaguares to finish the half.

Wow, that was a narrow escape!

What the fuck was Parsons thinking..?,and that’s your captain

What in the bollocks were Parsons and Rieko doing there?

@steven-harris game awareness lacking there

There is nothing redeeming about Parsons. How bad is the rest of the team that that muppet is captain?

@nepia sums up this dumb arse lot,they defend brilliantly and then decide they should move the ball inside their in goal area..

Kaboom, power gone. Wise weather is on the way to Eden Park! What halter

What happened after the hooter?

@steven-harris Hahaha hearing TJs commentary during that play was funny.

I reckon the ref bottled that.

Someone really should have gone at the previous penalty - possibly didn't give it because it was Akira - though TJ is saying Parsons did something.

Why did the Jags have to use it in that last scrum? The scrum seemed to be up and the second shove decimated the Blues.

@chris-b ref said it was an offside play by Parsons, Akira asked him.

I was wondering the same thing. There was no reason whatsoever for that call.

What ever the halftime talk is,I would hope discipline is spoken about,they are sitting on a potential yellow card and Akira who plays on the edge a red....some good stuff mixed up with indiscipline and very poor leadership.

Lucky, lucky, lucky escape there. How that wasn’t a PT is beyond me.

I’ll take it.

The offside saved Akira there.

Williams is saying to the Jags they need to use the ball if it is at the back of the scrum and not going anywhere. WTF! The Jags will be going for a second shove and he should just play on if they have control. They were rightly frustrated.

@chris-b Yes it was Parsons at fault, not Akira, and the ball was at the back for an eternity before the 2nd shove came on that's why they had to use it.

@Steven-Harris Parsons' leadership needs to improve. He seems more intent on moaning to the ref though unfortunately.

No sympathy for the Jaguares though. They played negatively there for multiple penalties and a yellow card. Multiple scrum infringements are generally tehnical, not cynical. A penalty from a scrum should be reward enough. I don't understand why multiple scrum penalties should lead to a yellow.

He has nice hair. Allegedly

Haha power's back, sky is on, awesome lightning and thunder display over the sea - even worse weather is on its way to Eden Park, though it might not get there before full time
