@Tim Yeah haha what was Rieko meant to do with that god awful pass.

What’s frustrating is not so much about individuals, it more about doing the little things well..playing in the right areas of the ground..why you would even try to play code in your own half on a wet night is beyond me..
The Blues scrum was more solid in the last 10 minutes because Ofa got 3 good hits..which set up easy service for 8 & 9..
Having the blockers in the right place gave Ruru the time to place a superb high kick which was dropped by the Bulls player..once again simple stuff..but it all gets undone with mad headed stuff..

Blues lucky. That should have been advantage over.

@hydro11 Not off such a cynical foul.

Well that was a shit passage of play.

Should have taken the 3 Patty.

@African-Monkey agree.

Decision making is killing the Blues. You take the 3 every day of the week in these conditions, especially when you are only up by 2. Dumb.

I'll give Ruru credit there - beautiful kick.

Well taken try from the Blues.

Good to see Robinson using his boots to ruck the yarpie out of the way of that ruck

Welcome to the Canes Scotty Good try Blues.

Thaaaat is how you play in the wet.

Haha Ruru

on the ball, lying on the man...

@taniwharugby Have the Bulls stayed on their feet at a single ruck?

Great try, but was there a forward pass in there?

Edit: after watching the replay, no, it was a flat pass.

In Africa yes, NZ no.
Something to do with the axis the world is on.

Hands in the ruck was what the ref missed.

@Stargazer Thought it left the hands backwards myself before floating forward. Game on.

@African-Monkey Yes, saw that in the replay.

@hydro11 Clearly off his feet.

Wonderful try and conversion.

a draw back of the 1-3-3-1 system...winger on forward

We're starting to get beaten to the punch at breakdown. Our forwards tiring?

Blues are getting fucking destroyed at the breakdown.

Brilliant high kick from the Bulls halfback..creates pressure

Nowhere near straight. Everything going against the Blues but lots of dumb rugby.

looked like a sneaky punch there by the 13 going into that ruck

Fuck me Gibson

What a donkey

And that's why Gibson will never be an AB.

Clarke is quietly having a stormer (not jinxing him hopefully).

@KiwiMurph He's improved out of sight especially defensively since last years Mitre 10 Cup.

Wonderful kick Plummer

Who left the field, when Black came on?

Nonu

Nonu. Plummer to 12.

@Stargazer Nonu, Plummer's gone to 12.

Would have taken 3 again. We better score.

@African-Monkey And there we have it haha.
