No Quarter

SBW looks full of running.

Bones

Tele'a could've done a lot better there to link up.

KiwiMurph

@Bones yeah he is a bit raw. But worth sticking with.

Chris B.

Christ Leon. Teach these fucking fluffybunnies to catch a ball!

@Tim said in Blues v Sunwolves:

Lose has called Te'lea Nanai twice in the last few minutes. Taelea is a lot beefier looking than Nanai.

Ken would glare at you and point to his hair for that one.

KiwiMurph

@Chris-B Rome wasn't built in a day....

Yeetyaah

SBW needs to get rid of that hideous chin strap.

Tim

We need a halfback who can use our ball carriers. As well as pass ...

broughie

@Tim Yep. Pulu is crap. Poor options. They would be better to just lot for other options rather than continue with his mediocre play.

Bones

It's gonna be a try even though Little tackled Tele'a. Wrong question ref.

KiwiMurph

Cripes the blues cop some bad luck.

antipodean

Nothing in it? Little tackled the defender ffs.

KiwiMurph

That is a quality pass by Akira

Tim

Nice Doug Howlett work to bring it closer to the posts.

Blues just need to keep knocking on and get the wolves down a few yellows in the scrum

Tim

Gibson playing like a guy coming back from injury.

broughie

Kick it away you dopey shit. Seriously Fiane.

Kicking that ball away is such a poor option, hold grind and get a penalty.

@broughie yeah that was utterly bizarre

African Monkey

Man we need to tighten up around the ruck. Jamie Fucken Booth of all people is carving up up there. Cowley-Tuioti and Pulu have been poor imo and SBW is playing with a target on his back.

broughie

@Machpants poor kicks, kicking away possession and Pulu running out of bounds a couple of weeks ago. Where is the rugby nouse.

Where is Pulu while Booth is carving up the run metres?

Tim

Guy was off his feet!

Bones

How the fark did you hey not score that! Amazing last ditch defence by the sunwolves on that maul.

Then a newby, God awful play by Plummer. Through the hands numbnuts.

Bones

Nice, but made to look a bit difficult.

I'm undecided whether Rieko putting his hat on after dotting down is douchey or not.

antipodean

That's a nice try. Two good passes and Rieko is in.

antipodean

Nanai with an excellent textbook tackle. How Rieko wasn't penalised for pushing players off the ball is a mystery.

Similar to Lam last night.

SBW almost knocking out the ref there 🙂

antipodean

The more I watch Nanai, the bigger the loss when he leaves NZ rugby.

broughie

@antipodean Potential but he is not consistent enough. Although maybe if he played outside of the Auckland his potential may be realized.

Bones

Blues > Chiefs.

@Bones outer Mongolian ladies paper aeroplane painting club second fifteen > Chiefs

African Monkey

FFS we should be out of sight by now.

ShadowTrooper

WTF was Pulu doing there??

ShadowTrooper

Another J Goodhue spares SBW's blushes there

Bones

The right call to start Plummer. Stick with it I say. Attack just seems very stunted with Black.
