I know for a fact the team have a nutritionist this season for the first time in the club's history

Rugby is an amateur sport masquerading as a pro sport.

A nutritionist for the first time in 30 years?

Looks like they have used experts in the past. But I think she is the first one on the payroll fulltime

A word about the ARs. I know the obvious forward pass was mentioned but Perofeta's knee was clearly on the ground right in front of Petrie before the ball was stripped leading to the Viljoen break.

ARs are a waste of space. Miss offside, forward passes, all the stuff that used to be the responsibility of the touch judges

Wrampling carrying Shields 5m to the line lol

I'm happy to see him getting opportunities. Wrampling has a good combination of size, power and speed.

He also scored a similar try in Wellington earlier in the year. Very impressive young kid.

Have to say I’m an enari hater but he stepped up okay tonight.

@Landers92 When you see a Blues fan holding up a poster with a lot of photos of BB’s face and the word “Thanks” in the middle - you know he’s done

The problem is we won SR TT and SRP when he was in Japan so it's more of a participation thanks.

I could have caught that pass from Fehi.

And I’m in Spain.

Xavi taele will be class in the next year or so. What’s his best position? Hes a small midfielder but he’s definitely got a bit of rugby smarts

Reminds me of Howarth. Chuck him at fullback if he can't run the show like a ten.

What a season Enari is having

I honestly can't believe how good he looks. I remember believing he was a certainty for the ABs when he came through the 20s program. He looks like that player right now albeit a lot slower. I was pissed he was getting the game time over Viljoen earlier in the year but he seems like a tailor-made fit for the way the Canes want to play.

Might suffer from Toevae effect. Great player with no defined position. Blues not a great place for that

Proctor again. Superb defence tonight.

Are we talking about the same Proctor Lam walked past? The same one who left Shields to stop Wrampling?

No, we are talking about @Canes4Life's version of Proctor.

Always thought Howarth was overrated. Hopefully Taele doesn't become a fake Welshman.

Lol you guys are so cute with your little Proctor bashing agenda.

It’s a worry that you actually think he played bad tonight. He was everywhere, especially on defence. One blip against a good line run by Lam doesn’t change the fact he was impressive for the majority of that game tonight. Comprehensively outplayed Lam which Rennie will be noting.

Well... that was comprehensive. Lucky Roigard wasn't playing.
