Not 10 then that should be PT?

No, because he realised his mistake and started to pull out apparently according to Way's law book.

Bones

Walton another who looked a million bucks last year and pretty ordinary this year.

antipodean

Lam makes Walton his bitch - bumps him and scores a nice try.

Somehow the Blues are ahead by two scores with five to go.

Nepia

What did Pat Lam do while an AB that has seemingly led to all Lams being banned from the ABs.

I keep thinking Walton is Jorgensen, they need to get different haircuts.

Bones

Oh come on Way, that wasn't a knock on, it was a pass.

Local broadcaster looking for something’s that is there

Tim

LOL. Penalized for going forward.

Tim

@KiwiMurph Yes absolutely. Should have taken the risk out and cleared it.

KiwiMurph

Taele's tackle technique is so good

Canes4life

Well that was a hard watch but well played Blues. An ugly win is still a win,

Funaki and Lam were the picks for me Behree not far behind
Possibly Funaki’s best in a Blues jersey
Superb win after looking a beaten team after the first 40

Bones

More of Barnes please.

Tim

Despite the professional foul they score.

antipodean

Superb finish to come away with winning bonus point after that first half.

Tahs will be ruing all those missed chances.

Throw in Barnes too he's been very good

KiwiMurph

Funaki man of the match

Tim

Fucking awful first half.

Was just 27 to 3 in the 2nd half?

his whole family were stitched up and Lam-inated? Or maybe it was just a process of e-Lamination.

Blues don't win if Funaki doesn't come on.

@Tim said in Waratahs v Blues:

@KiwiMurph Insane that he was not an AB.

Especially when you consider how many tests ALB has played.

yes I couldn't see why they were playing an out of form, yellowcarding, recently injured ALB over Lam...maybe I was not alone. Plays more positions than ALB too...

@KiwiMurph I believe he’s looking to come North either Auckland or Northland

I would rest Dalton next week if he’s got an injury

Tim

Papalii said in his after-match interview that he's been nursing an injury the last few weeks and was struggling when he came off.

Explains why he was seemingly quiet, still an impressive tackle count.

Tim

@Bones Yeah, he said something like: "I was doing more harm than good being out there."

@Bones said in Waratahs v Blues:

How have the tahs replaced their ginge fullback with an identical ginge fullback

It's a straightforward case of reverse erythristic discrimination...

Tim

Barnes to start next week with Papalii rested or out?

Sotutu back to 8. Wrampling some things to learn.

Reckon Segner is worth trying at 7.

Tim

@Bones Yeah, definitely. Barnes, Segner, Sotutu. Clark off the bench?
