@antipodean said in Blues v Force:

And another useless kick from Beauden, complete with a shit line defence.

Does he possess an invisibility cloak for kicking? How on earth does he get away with the majority of his kicks resulting in massive gains for the opposition, with no team mate or coach raising the issue?

@ACT-Crusader said in Blues v Force:

Force look pretty good in counter and broken play, but they have nothing in phase play.

First time I've seen BB called that.

@ACT-Crusader said in Blues v Force:

Tizano is basically playing like a 2nd 5

And a hooker

I'm having trouble following these comments and the play / score reported elsewhere.
37 minutes in, 12-5 to Blues right?

Force rolling maul has been good.

make that 12-7

They're also very good at creating havoc at the ruck.

Very compact and organised.

Proctor would have put Evans in there

The fuck was that from Evans.

I'm well on board the NZ rugby nous is dead train.

12-7 at the half.

Flattering the Blues

Blues up but have a bit of work to do. Force probably had the better of the play.

I wonder if Leon MacDonald has pointed out a few defensive weaknesses in the Blues.

The coaching rejects of Mcdonald and Donnelly are showing they can produce results with a mismatched and scrappy squad... Maybe the Highlanders and Blues players were just stupid.

Or Vern Cotter ain't that great.

Really!?!?! Wait Scotland were world beaters with him as their coach?!

Force didn't do too much in the second half last week, so will be interesting to see if anything has changed...

Sir Vern Cotter. Always welcome back at the Bay in a heartbeat.

This Blues back 3 have been hopeless, not covering backfield, or chasing kicks.

There we go! Good hard direct running from our seniors.

Blues will take that start to the half.

There’s our AB 10

These bloody interviews are always ill timed

Rieko did good

@Mattasaurus said in Blues v Force:

Rieko did good

I was just about to say he's having a good game

Rieko's had a decent night so far on attack and defence.

That's not a yellow either.

@African-Monkey said in Blues v Force:

That's not a yellow either.

Hah! Penalty reversed. Fair call.

Bugger. Good try Force.

That was grealy ,grealy well done

Unforced errors ...

Blues doing their best to lose this

Good chase Rieko.

AJ in again, off a powerful Blues scrum led by Fusitu'a there.

Or not....

@African-Monkey Scrum's been good tonight. Fusitua is developing well there.

Fair call.

@Tim said in Blues v Force:

He is. He's become a reliable player this year.

Was going to ask how the Force defence leave so much space of first phase off a scrum...?

Kuenzle should be penalised for diving in with the knees at Lam. Surprised he didn't get a free mouthguard test for that piece of filth.
