@Stargazer said in Blues v Bulls:

@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.

Blues midfield has tits for hands tonight.

@Stargazer works with the ref all the time...

That's better from TJ

Oh Ruru.....

Ruru ffs!!!!

@KiwiMurph Good lord.

Oh Rieko .....

Why did the Bulls kick there....equally as dumb.

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.

Is the rain still going or even harder or it looks like it is going to stop?

@KiwiMurph Now, now, it was definitely his fault that Ruru threw a god awful pass to no one.

@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.

@Stargazer said in Blues v Bulls:

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.
