Boom boom Barnes! Go you good thing

KiwiMurph

Nice work Barnes

Bones

Interesting to see Sullivan kicking. Guess he'll be joining Barnes...

KiwiMurph

Clarke does all the hard work and then spills it

Barnes is impressive

Bones

That was an atrocious scrum. Luckily for the blues... Jacomb

Yeetyaah

Guess I shouldn't have expected much from this game but it's still irritating to o watch

Bones

That's a better kick Zarn

That’s a poor throw from Mullan he can’t throw deep

KiwiMurph

Mullan is shit

Bones

Pretty sure Finau can't tackle Sullivan there...

Bones

Loving Nock with the proper Maori halfback look

@brodean said in Chiefs v Blues:

Quite fascinated to see how we go with Segner as captain. As good as he has been playing he just doesn't have the tackle workrate of Papali'i. (Not many players do tbf)

Papali'i is the key to the Blues defence. He is close to the top of the those stats and rucks year in year out across Super Rugby.

Players waiting to pilfer all the time usually aren't making the same amount of tackles.

We've won 40% of games this year when Segner is playing openside and 75% when Papali'i has been playing openside.

It's a positive that Barnes is being partnered with Segner. Barnes is close to Papali'i in tackle work rate and 2nd of the loose forwards in this facet. Barnes also has the highest amount of dominant tackles for the Blues.

Looking forward to seeing how this trio with Wrampling go again together. This combo worked well defensively against the Drua.

Stats can say anything. The only team the Blues have lost to this season with BB starting is the Canes.

I rest my case.

Yeetyaah

Exit you fucking speds

Bones

That was a dodgy as turnover by Ahki

That should have been a penalty on the Segner turnover Finau was holding on for dear life

Mr Fish

You forget how hodge podge this Chiefs backline is until they pass the ball through the hands. No leaders at all in there.

KiwiMurph

Blues dont have enough clinical edge this year

Should have way more points than 7 in this game

Could be headed into the playoffs on the back of two losses. Not great for momentum
