No pressure Blues, but don't be the only ones to lose to the Aussies.

Blues typically struggle in this match up

Joe Schmidt just walked past me as a fan heading up to his seat

was he wearing red, blue, black, or green and gold?

No Quarter

Class from Zarn, big clearance then very well taken try

taniwharugby

Good to see BB taking it to the line and draw the defence hiving more space to Zarn, who still had some work

nice try but weak defense

Victor Meldrew

Sullivan has a faster pass than Christie...

KiwiMurph

That all came from a garbage Beauden clearance

African Monkey

Thought Segner was unlucky on the turnover.

KiwiMurph

Christie.....

His Bobness

Barrett’s clearing kicks are appalling. Can’t someone have a word with him? And Christie seems to operate in slowmo

This sums up Blues rugby since about 2018 except when Beauden is on sabbatical or Christie is injured

KiwiMurph

What a pass from Darry

Bones

Put Darry at first five for the blues.

That might as well be Darry at 10, Tarry (Christie) at 9.

Bones

How about Zarn's new barnet, @jet?

AB fullback right there.

KiwiMurph

Spidercam got in the way

Christie of all people with the highest kick of the weekend.

A paraplegic thalidomide kid has a faster pass. He take far too long, letting the defence set. Then his ruck clearance he pulls the ball out out of the ruck and fucks around - a smarter opposition would've smashed him and turned the ball over. He's fucking useless.

Bones

Someone paint those boots black.

KiwiMurph

Zarn is on fire

antipodean

That's a good pass to a player taking a good line. Reds with no answers to that movement.

Tim

Sullivan is coming into form. Good to see him a run without injuries.

2 try assists to Barrett putting Zarn in space.

Can't remember who was saying that's something he cant do.

Can't and doesn't are two different things.

Based on today, can and does

KiwiMurph

For what it's worth

That rule sucks

If you charge down from the field of play and it goes dead you should get more reward

KiwiMurph

Nice scrum Ake

jimmyb

Why did Beuden go on the outside there?

antipodean

Fucking Christie again.

KiwiMurph

Zarn risk reward was off earlier

Up 14 there wasnt a need to try a low percentage kick

jimmyb

Aki is pretty solid in defence

KiwiMurph

Blues are in big trouble in this game

They really struggle with Reds style

Blues always look so much better with Funaki at 9

Based on last week, can't and doesn't. Fun game to play that one.

Bones

Pretty good from the broncos

Bones

Oh Patty! Out the back door would've been beautiful.
