Tuipulotu is doing nothing out there. Is he injured?
Got bumped off towards the end of the half by Delaney and was holding his shoulder. Looked like a stinger but assuming it’s more with what happened earlier in the half

They didnt flake in 06. They made a final with Gopperth at 10 and lost in a fog final to Carter and McCaw.
Yeah it's like the 1960s. If you saw the game you weren't there.
What we are seeing is the bi product of a very limited game plan I said this last year and I will say it again.
If a pack stands up to the Blues and takes away their pick and go and clean dominance there’s very little creativity from 10 out throw in an aging once great player who longer runs at the line and this what you get
Caleb Clark can only dream about getting into open space I have no doubt he would flourish in the Canes backline
Sotutu looks like he checked out last year personally I would have just given the 8 jersey to Barnes or Wrampling
For me this also calls into questioning the coaching of Vern Cotter
He should be congratulated for taking the Blues for their title in 2024 but it was’nt pretty rugby and he needed to come with a new trick
For me this last 2 years was a great opportunity to introduce more youngsters and freshen the team dynamic

Anton Segner has been the best of the Blues so far.
Low bar

The positive view
Beauden is playing so shit I am increasingly hopeful his AB 10 days are over
Everyone outside the Fern seems to love BB. He's untouchable until proven otherwise
From what I’ve been told there’s a different view on him from what the last regime had
Don't tease me

You underestimate how bad BB is.

Hope Henry changed his mind about BB being so brilliant!

Haha can’t get a lot of oil at the moment but that’s pretty much it. I have no doubt he will still get minutes though unfortunately
@KiwiMurph Oh man, what the hell was that?

Or hopefully he's just saying nice things about a very good AB who is past his prime, before they show him the door

What a season Enari is having
His improvement from pre season has been crazy.
This has been a vintage display from the Canes. We are showing so much control, not like old us at all.

Lakai and Proctor have been class tonight for me. The work rate of those guys is crazy.

That looked like a huuuge forward pass on first view
BOK tonight....fucking hell......
