@African-Monkey wasnt that they were 'bad' just hardly had the ball, but when they did they score and then almost score...if they can get some more ball they will open the lions up

@Bones Teflonea

Blues throwing away chances.

Sotutu! Notutu!

Gross.

@KiwiMurph said in Blues v Lions:

Busier on the non tv side where there is some sun

Enjoying this main commentator.

@KiwiMurph saw his name pop up before, never heard of him!

Good so far

@KiwiMurph I think the point is... Jantjies probably not the smartest player around, especially not as captain.

How did the ref miss the Lions player being offside in general play?

What foul play were they looking for there?

haha...just checking potentail foul play.
Faiane: On us?
Ref: THem
Faiane: Sweet

When Mafileo went for the ball there was some contact.

What a waste of time.

I'm not sure you can award a PT if the guy being passed the ball is Parsons.

Blues need to keep starting Penalty Try.

Effective player.

2 tries in 2 games.

@Bones haha....the rules dont differentiate between Parsons and rugby players!

They clearly should!

@KiwiMurph Who is commentating today?

@Tim Marshall, Te Nana but I didn't catch the name of the main commentator. A refreshing change from others.

Crowd widely spaced. Keeping their distance from one another.

@KiwiMurph @Tim Bevan Dewar is the main caller.

@taniwharugby Great captaincy from the young man!

Apparently Dewar is on Radio Sport. What's his background?

@Tim talking

That was a beautiful try.

So was that

@Duluth I think Sotutu has that front spot for the young 8s. Papalii warming into the game.

aww c'mon, TJ, you coulda got that, didnt need to pass!

NIcely done though

Nock gets better every week - now he is starting to run.

Amazing how well the Blues are starting to play now they have developed some confidence in themselves and their processes.

@antipodean plus players being given chances to build combos rather than previous years chop and change for the sake of it

@taniwharugby

I think there have been plenty of changes. Think of the loosies last year. The team is more organised

@Duluth but there seems there has been more of a plan around changes as opposed to just changing week in week out despite form.

@taniwharugby

I think it’s just people don’t complain about changes when the team is winning

Great maul defence again. Credit to Coventry

Walsh and Renata have struggled at scrum time.

If they cancel Super Rugby right now - the Blues win!
