@Nogusta said in Blues v Bulls:

The centre for the Blues made some good solid stops on D.

Aoake or Aumua?

@Tim just checked the team list it was Asaeli Tikoirotuma
Halftime score was 40-7

Kirwan

Stadium to ourselves, lots of rain and lightning.

African Monkey

@Nogusta Nice to see 2 more St Peter's College boys showing their worth. Plenty of talent coming out of that great school over the last few years.

@African-Monkey Suesue played very well on Monday night as well by all accounts

Kirwan

Probably worse weather than the NPC final, with patches of drizzle , followed by torrential rain.

Lots of handling errors in Bulls warmup.

KiwiMurph

Nisbo on commentary instead of TJ - nice.

KiwiMurph

Plz stop hitting up Nonu off scrums.

antipodean

Pouring with rain. Take quick tap and fumble.

Did someone forget to mention "play percentages in this weather"?

KiwiMurph

@antipodean yep and Mils goes 'smart play Faiane'. Wtf

Oh and the stupid chip kicks on the run

Jeez I'll be turning this one off soon, just awful

Gunner

Blues playbook 101:
Pissing with rain, let’s run it from our 22.

African Monkey

Dumb rugby from the Blues to start this game.

antipodean

Bulls taking the points. Wet weather 101.

KiwiMurph

Blues pay the price for trying to run it out of their 22. Dopey.

Bulls stole some blankets from the hotel

Try for all money there, Blues bumble it again though. On a brighter note, how good is big red? Put him in an All Blacks jersey. 😄

KiwiMurph

Nice run Clarke.

KiwiMurph

Abysmal kick Ruru

KiwiMurph

Ruru cost the Blues. Thats why Blues need a better starting 9.

African Monkey

@KiwiMurph And it's cost us. It's shit like that which continues to fuck us over.

Jeez the blues do so little with so much possession

KiwiMurph

@African-Monkey yep. That was a Parsons level mistake. So poor.

African Monkey

@KiwiMurph Happens far too often from the same players.

Even managed a high tackle straight to the head, lucky refs seem to ignore those of the try is scored.

Parsons poor tackle allowed the offload there

After watching the Blues for last few years..there are 3 words that always come out of my mouth when one of the Blues ball carriers is on the charge...get to him..!,referring to the cleaners..

And then Ruru on the high kick which went out on the full..
No set up with deep ruck, which gives you time clear but at least an extra metre...absolute dumb fucks..!
What do they look at their video sessions...?

Canes4life

Can someone remind me if Parsons has re-signed? The Blues really need someone more dynamic at rake.

@Canes4life unfortunately yes,2 more years of mediocrity..!

Sorry about the language

antipodean

High tackles and neck rolls galore. What are the refs looking at?

Gunner

Clever slowing the ruck ball down a few phases ago by the bulls player.
Pretended to dive back over to his own side of the ruck but didn’t go far enough and left his knees over the ball, perfectly slowing it down.
Wake up ref!

antipodean

That's a try.

@Gunner but once again the cleaners are so slow..!

African Monkey

Fair call imo.

Canes4life

@Stargazer I feel for Blues fans. He is hard to watch and I'm not even a Blues fan.
