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...?
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..!
@Canes4life Yes, he has re-signed.
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!
@Stargazer I feel for Blues fans. He is hard to watch and I'm not even a Blues fan.
Now please don't crash with Nonu he's dropped 2 in contact so far.
Edit: Don't worry we fucked up the scrum.
@KiwiMurph One of his team mates yelled that the ball was out; Ruru just responded.

Do you ever criticise players from Hawkes Bay?
Just asking.
@KiwiMurph He plays for Auckland; he's dead to me.
@Stargazer works with the ref all the time...
@KiwiMurph Good lord.
I know you Blues fans like to blame Ruru for everything that's going wrong, but Faiane, Plummer and even Rieko have had a very poor first half as well.
@KiwiMurph Yeah strange option there. They could have easily worked their way to a kickable penalty at the very least.

Rieko 'very poor' you have to be joking he has been good. One knock on which resulted in half time.
@Stargazer He's been very very very shit. Faiane's just been poor and Rieko's barely seen the ball. The last mistake from the chip from Odendaal he made before halftime was a handy one funnily enough.
The weather is just spoiling the whole game. Thumbs up for all fans sitting in the stands despite the rain.
@KiwiMurph Now, now, it was definitely his fault that Ruru threw a god awful pass to no one.
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..
@African-Monkey agree.
