Missed Nonu's experience in defence there.

Jailbreak7

Fark me I couldn't take another draw - that was bloody awful d from the Blues

@hydro11 And it looks like it's hurt us and our season goes with it.

KiwiMurph

Awful play Blues all around.

Still plenty of time to lose.

Jailbreak7

Wonder if maybe time to pull out the droppie

Tim

Ruru's shit kicking costs us again.

Jailbreak7

Whew - saved by the ref

Stargazer

Both props going for 80 minutes again.

Jailbreak7

THIS is where Akira needs to shine

Canes4life

Piss poor game management by the Blues. Really has been a hard watch this one.

Canes4life

Massive kick coming. Will Black be the savior?

African Monkey

Now's a good time for Plummer to answer his critics as a goalkicker.

Donsteppa

Blues look much better when playing quick ball/the halfback doesn't take all week to clear it.

Gunner

The shit the Bulls get away with at the ruck....

Poor option taking the droppie from so far out, we’re under advantage they should have had a crack at a try. This is no easy kick.

Chris

So that’s a high tackle Fraser you idiot and the one on Mounga wasn’t last week clown

Bulls so offside throughout that

Tim

@Jailbreak7 Did a big clean out and followed up with a strong carry.

KiwiMurph

Lol neither team deserved to win.

African Monkey

Aaaaannnnd he misses.

Donsteppa

Thought the lineout was a safer option, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

The entire game. How did the referee and his ARs not notice? That sort of disgraceful incompetence ruins games.

Tim

Inability to exit 22 cost them again. Really poor ending.

taniwharugby

surely more draws this year than any before?

Canes4life

Season over for the Blues you would have to think, I can't see them beating the Canes in Wellington.

Hooroo

Good enough to be the fourth best nz team after this weekend. Man the Chiefs and Blues are fucking shit

Canes4life

Worry for NZ Rugby really, the Highlanders will be in that bracket aswell next year with the players they are losing.

Jailbreak7

@taniwharugby Many more draws.
That was a bloody awful last five mins from the Blues. They really need to work on how they start and how they finish games.

If they went for a line-out it would have been non straight, if they went for a scrum they would have conceded a penalty and if they tapped it, it would have been a knock on. This is the Blues. That's what they do.

Hmmm. In many ways the Blues are better this year. But still not good enough. Same mistakes.

They could also work on the middle of games.

Get those three things right and they are in business!

African Monkey

Ummm next year is our year?

Tim

@African-Monkey Number one factor will be who the halfback is ... so probably no.
