Would like to see Taele on.

Looking at the Drua bench they should go on to win this one

Geez that can't have been far from a YC. Maul carving up a couple of metres from the tryline.

Lomani is an oustanding halfback

Good captaincy...

At least the maul is going well tonight.

And then Darry does a Haig.

A couple of good pieces of hustle from Beehre.

Take the lineout and maul this one.

Imagine if we had hookers in NZ that practiced throwing for hours and hours as a core skill.

Just score the try and stop the show pony crap

Those out the back moves have been good value this year.

Settle down gramps

Some have been delicious and effervescent. If that is O'Halloran hopefully he is staying on.

@KiwiMurph if you see some of the crap like this around the club scene you will understand where i’m coming from

Especially as he did score the try then went showpony. But I guess gramps was not a fan of Jeff Wilson.

Nice kick Vai

Cripes, Spencer has some wheels eh.

Beautifully done!

@Bones Yeah, tall and skinny but fast.

@Bones Yeah, tall and skinny but fast.

Watching him glide up midfield was crazy, bit Joe Rok.

@Bones Hell yeah. 2015 Beauden kick chasing. Made Barrett look old and slow. Made me feel real old as well.

Handling in perfect conditions has been very poor

Looked pretty good when Vai spun the ball after his try.

Everything Wrampling does is loose

More impressed by Che Clark

Jed Melvin on?

Che Clark has been impressive since coming on.

How Torian Barnes going? Always love the new shiny thing.

Looked busy, some bruising runs and nice handling early on.

@Bones 13 handling errors in the first half alone 8 from the Blues and 5 from the Drua several unforced

BB too slow to catch up with his tap for an attempted intercept is a lovely summary of where he's at.

Nice finish by Clarke.

Impressive performance by the Blues loose forwards. Not so much the locks.

Also unimpressed by Spencer's debut at fullback too. Especially his donkey effort that lead to the Drua's second try.

@antipodean yeah he was pretty meh to start, but grew into it I thought and ended up at least at the same level as Forbes. Worth persevering.

Much better second half

Segner very impressive

Drua should be better with their squad

Good 2nd half. Che Clark and Segner very good.

Second half was very impressive. Humidity clearly making the ball slippery, lot of unusual drops.

Two howlers from Spencer, but plenty of positives and after my complaints last week about passing quality in NZ, he had two try assists with a perfect spiral pass in front of the player. One left, one right. Seriously quick too.

What is Segner's best position should he able to make the step up to the ABs?
7?

It seems like Che Clark has put a bit of weight on?

Spencer has some promise after all.

Akhi, Segner, Darry, Beehre and Wrampling led the defence against a pretty brutal attack. We scored some over those classic maul tries that the Drua struggle against. What about the locks didn't you like?
