Match thread

Rieko is as slow as Owen Franks these days.

Bones

I don't care how good you are on defence, being an absurd attacking liability really counts against you.

Made hard work of it, but got there...Lam started well.

@booboo

That did not look like a player who should be on the wing

Tim

Christie is so shit.

Christie is so shit.

Notable that blues attack works when Christie and Ioane are absent from it.

Tim

@gt12 said in Blues vs Waratahs 2025:

Glad he called that - the Tahs have been offside for almost every ruck

Christie gives it away as type

Yep, constantly offside.

At the game Lam the best of the Blues in the first 15 minutes
Christie is very hesitant

Bones

Barrett's kicking from hand is utterly appalling.

Tim

Gleason gets talked up but is absolutely shithouse.

gt12

Fusitua not helping his chances with that ridiculous pass

taniwharugby

Poor comms between BB and Telea

Talea had to let that go wide.

booboo

Handling is awful. Must be wetter than it looks

The game management from Christie and BB is absolutely shite house. Evans offers nothing in terms of game management.

@brodean even more obvious seeing it live

Tim

Forwards walk through offside at rucks and get a warning. So frustrating.

gt12

Think that will be brought back

gt12

@booboo

Take it back, I was sure that Telea was in touch

Finally a move from the backline.

Was that the first time this year?

gt12

@gt12

And I thought that might have gone forward

Goal kicking is so crucial at this level. 4 points down the drain.

booboo

That view looked I n touch

taniwharugby

Odd Christie defending at the back, and no one filled his gap at the ruck

How can a 10 thats been around top class rugby be such an average goal kicker ?
It beggars belief

booboo

Thank you Nick. Was off the Tahs

"Been around"? Guy's a 100 test AB

booboo

Rieko's wearing gumboots

booboo

17-6 (not 15-6 TJ)

taniwharugby

Nicely done by Ioane

Tim

@taniwharugby Not bad for the worst player in New Zealand.

gt12

@booboo

Looks like 3 reasons no, so yeah it will be awarded
