Wowza. Roigard take a bow.

Canes4life

NZRU do everything you can to keep Fehi.

Tim

What a step from FF. Get him out of that contract.

Roigard is way above any other 9 in NZ.

antipodean

Fehi making Vai's defence looking worse with every minute.

Yeah was going to say that. Although he's hitting world cup form a year early...

KiwiMurph

Shit pass by Beauden results in a turnover

Canes4life

Billy playing very well tonight

antipodean

Christie makes everything the Blues do, worse.

Landers92

Proctor deserves a lot of credit there in that try. Saw Fihe one on one out wide and threw the skip ball to give him a chance. Wingers love that

Tim

I'd be tempted to sub Wrampling for Barnes at half time.

KiwiMurph

Wrampling is like that 1st XV player that thinks he can bulldoze everyone all the time

KiwiMurph

Well done Lam

antipodean

How do NZR get Lam into the ABs instead of going North?

Great to a see a 10 that’s not afraid to take on the line

Canes4life

Massive play there from Lam. If the Canes score there the game becomes so much tougher for the Blues.

Landers92

Fihe found out the hard way there with Lam. Vai made sure Harkin didn’t get him twice as well. Vai’s edge is the clear target for the canes

Tim

Could have been worse. Too many mistakes against a team like the Canes.

KiwiMurph

Blues should mark Fehi with Clarke from a physicality point of view

Canes4life

I think the Canes forward split on the bench is going to come in handy.

A good half of rugby. Peter Lakai and Ruben Love looking all class. AJ Lam is having a crack game for the Blues.

It's a massive shame the stadium is so empty.

antipodean

Scoreline a reasonable reflection of the half. Blues looked like they were in for a hiding in the first 10mins.

Tellingly, the Blues rookie backrowers are being well outplayed. Blues structure not evident and their game directors are absent. Christie in particular - passing to players flat footed with no support. Fuck he's useless.

Zarn and Lam are very visible.

sparky

Three turnovers lost by Jordie Barrett. Yuk!

Who has had the biggest influence in the first 40 ?
BB should’nt even be on the graphic

Canes4life

That Clarke try was a thing of beauty. Superb hands by the Blues.

Two of those would have been throwing the ball infield while being bundled out.

An entertaining game for a neutral.

Tim

Real pity that Lam and Fineanganofo are leaving. Both would look good in black.

Devan Flanders has been huge for the Canes again.

Landers92

AJ Lam is much better suited to 13 in my opinion. Does well in 12 but even better in 13. A real shame he’s leaving

I dunno....negative influence is influence....

So pick them anyway and change the rules

All aboard the bandwagon for Flanders at 6 for the ABs. Though soemthing makes me think he’d be a better 8
