Match thread

Stargazer

Try Augustin Creevy.

Kirwan

Lots of complaints there from the Blues, frustration

Why, when you are utterly getting smashed at the mall, would you not compete at the lineout? It was their only chance.

God the blues are so bad

Kirwan

Nice hands in terrible conditions

Stargazer

Great try in the corner. Manu

Gunner

What really fucks me off is refs telling the players defending a maul they have to get out of it if they end up anywhere near the ball 9 times out of 10 even if they’ve got there legally.
GCT had every right to be where he was and could have changed the outcome of that try.

Blues hit back

Kirwan

Money on a try coming up?

taniwharugby

given some of the cards we have seen in recent times, very lucky there.

Kirwan

Much better. Competed at the lineout and defended the maul.

Have lost the ref already. Parasols needs to back off.

Gunner

What is it with Auckland based footy teams that makes them give away so many stupid bloody penalties?

Really, come on, how dumb do you have to be to keep doing the same dumb shit?

Spellcheck or deliberate?

taniwharugby

shit clearance...

Nepia

Might be the start of a form turnaround by Duffie?

Gunner

Great work Duffie, he had a lot of work to do there.

taniwharugby

good effort there, nice continuity from the Blues

Two weeks of decent form so far, and in the position I’ve wanted to see him at for two years now.

Stockcar86

Ruru's passing looking better this week

Great to see a lock a taking responsibility of kick off receives,in fact both locks playing well for the Blues

taniwharugby

@stockcar86 I was thinking it looks a little laboured...at least he is playing more to one side rather than back and forth

Jags get another penalty next, better be a yellow

All the penalties,did the teams swap jerseys 10 minutes ago..?

Kirwan

Huge turning point that maul defence on the line a while ago.

Gunner

So you’re asking the ref to be consistent?

You don’t want much do you?

Next you’ll want to see Elvis, MJ and Prince in concert together...

Spoke too soon about the kick off receive..

taniwharugby

Goodhue very busy on defence there...involved in about 4/5 tackles in a row

Stargazer

Goodhue down ..

Gunner

He’s just gone down like a sack of spuds...

Wonder what happened there

Edit: forearm to the face.

Accidental yes, but if it were a tackle being made on him it’d be a card, why any different because he didn’t have the ball?

Stargazer

Goodhue off for the rest of the game.

Kirwan

Injuries all over the show.

Don’t give them ideas. There is accidental head contact in almost every ruck.

taniwharugby

gutted for him, he has looked very good this season, and more so in his 38 mins out there tonight.

Kirwan

Really need to not concede a try here.

Kirwan

Fuck, that was close to a Penalty Try

True.
But my point still stands, a forearm directly to the face causing concussion.
Food for thought...

@stargazer it’s a shame,he was playing well,just wondered why the trainer did not pull him to the sideline given they were literally a metre from the sideline..
