Renata has really hit form this year eh, looks bloody fit too. Age will count against him for the ABs though I guess.

Paps released, but didn't get back to feet. Penalty

The superior skill and experience of Barrett strikes again.

How can such a talented first five be such an average kicker off the tee ?

Body position was a bit high from some of those ball carriers.

Half back is clearing from the ruck into their heads, not helping

Lock at halfback gives hospital pass. Blues need more organisation, stop using the backs so flat.

BB doing his best to be involved in every Blues turnover.

I wish Rieko could run with the ball without having to tuck and duck.

@Bones He's standing so flat, and it's just straight along the line passes without variations and dummy runners.

Cleans need to be much better. Taele having as much impact as a wet lettuce leaf at the ruck.

Whoever is the attack coach at the Blues needs to be sacked.

Superb from the Blues some great angles the from the carriers

I know. Not sure what game he's been watching if he thinks the Blues have not been the better team.

Nice deception by Sotutu - looked like he was going to drive, but pop pass to Fusitu'a on the hard line.
