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

African Monkey

That's not a yellow either.

African Monkey

Bugger. Good try Force.

That was grealy ,grealy well done

Tim

Unforced errors ...

Blues doing their best to lose this

African Monkey

Good chase Rieko.

African Monkey

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

African Monkey

Or not....

Tim

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

booboo

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

antipodean

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.

booboo

Bit of feeling ..

African Monkey

Great line McWhannell! Great hold up play Funaki.

antipodean

Beautiful line by McWhannell and nicely delayed pass by Funaki.

I fucking hate hate that penalty call on Patty T.
Why the fuck are they trying to encourage more box kicks and up and unders?

How many officials do you need to miss 2 players in front of a kick ..?

antipodean

Three on two so Evans kicks down the middle of the field. Just brainless rugby.

African Monkey

There we go! Force can't cope with the Blues scrum.

Tim

Cross field kick has to work sometimes!

antipodean

@Tim said in Blues v Force:

Cross field kick has to work sometimes!

Poorly executed but at least he had the vision to see it.

The problem is, it is generally a low percentage play - that typically results in giving good attacking possession away

African Monkey

Blues high ball problems continue.

booboo

Only 3 tries in it. Not won yet.

Potter has got some sensational skills

Tim

Number 5 was in front when the maul set.

Last 2 Blues tries conceded on the back of poor discipline

gt12

Whoever ‘coaches’ the Blues line out should be fucking down the road

Take the 3 you push it out beyond 3 x scores
They had better score

gt12

Btw, how good is Lam? They need to have him back starting
