good effort there, nice continuity from the Blues

@nepia said in Blues v Jaguares:

Might be the start of a form turnaround by Duffie?

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

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

@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..?

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

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..

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

Goodhue down ..

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?

Goodhue off for the rest of the game.

Injuries all over the show.

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

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

Really need to not concede a try here.

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..

playing for a PT & YC...

Last thing we need is a PT and a yellow

@taniwharugby both coming up I think

So is Goodhue a power lock too

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.
