Fitting way to end it.

What a player.

I wish Barrett stayed in Japan.

More nervous watching that game than any Blues game this season! Elated for Ardie and the team.

Really fun comp so far.

YES!

Missed conversion!

...

Please hold on.

Great stuff!

Horrorcanes did lose to the Blosers after all...

Akira + Darry. And neither are coming back.

Eh? What's the story with Darry?

"Blues lock Sam Darry has been ruled out of the Blues Super Rugby Pacific season following a shoulder injury sustained at training last week.

The injury has been assessed and will require surgery. It is expected ...

Brumbies pinch it 21-20!

Hapless Blues couldn't score a single second half point without Beauden.

:lol:

he wouldn't have been playing in the forwards though, and that's where they lost this. How many breakdown turnovers? The lineout went to shit and the scrum folded like a paper towel ...

Betting against these Blosers has gone well so far. 0-4 ATS.

Dire stuff once again.

EDIT: And Chiefs away next. No shot on current form.

All it took was BB feeding a scrum on his own line, to a n00b hooker, with Sotutu in the bin.

Never in doubt...

What a win by the Force.

Absolutely bonkers game!

Brumbies will do well to get close next week... Can't beat a 13-man Force outfit.

Barrett with another pissy grubber kick when his team desperately needs to keep the ball in hand. Sure enough it leads to the dagger 3 by the Highlanders.

I can't wait until Perofeta is back.

And running Riccitelli into the ground worked a treat. Bottled those lineout throws and was limping for ...

Fark.

Gutted for the Moana Pasifika guys.

I hope Tele’a is made to run laps around Eden Park... What a tackle by Ratima - but by fark, Mark, you got to farking score that! Different game with the Blues up 19 (or possibly 21), to 11.

From there the Chiefs were well on top - not that I was overly shocked to see the Chiefs dominate the final ...

I don't dislike Ratima - in fact I think he's a good prospect - I just would have preferred to close this particular test out with TJP.

Straight sub - at least from what I can gather going back and watching it again. Roigard was moving fine.

Well Razor isn't so smart after all :lol:

We don't have access to player data like the coaching box does. Roigard is still coming back from an injury layoff and it's likely they ...

Ah well...

Congrats, France.

Thought we were in with a shout at HT, but the ol' second half blues came back to haunt us. Replacing Roigard after 53 minutes was a huge mistake.

I thought he went off injured?

Really? Thought it was just a straight sub.

Straight sub - at least from ...

Great game!

Well done, France. Won me a few bucks...

Disappointed to lose of course - but I'm more encouraged by the ABs moving forward than I was mid year. That said, BB needs a shock-collar that goes off any time he even thinks about putting in a rubbish kick on attack.

And before we can recover properly, the try at the other end

BB's kicking out of hand in a nutshell.

None of the media will mention it of course.

One of the few avatars I'll never forget.

He loved a wind-up...

RIP.

Anyway, Aumua was fantastic again - best thing to come out of the last 2 weeks for the ABs. Like Razor, I wasn't too keen on seeing George Bell on the field...

Yep, Aumua's playing really well. Was sweating a bit over his lineout throwing towards the end, but needn't have worried. Apart from ...

Enzedder wrote: Fri Nov 08, 2024 10:07 pm First half from Nick Berry was almost as bad as the first half from Ratima.

Both should go back to the lower leagues to retrain.

Ratima shouldn't make the 23 next week.

That's the number 1 side in the world? Is test rugby at its lowest point ever?

Bench stepped up as well. PT playing the best rugby of his ...

Jordan should be benched for that. Play with 14 if we have to.

We've been dire - yet we're up 10.

ahahahaha

I can't believe how bad Ireland have been.

Hahahahaha

Fark yes!!!

I can't believe we won the series, let alone how easily we won it.

I'm gobsmacked. We obliterated them. I'm so damn stoked!

He should have been organizing a standing ovation

Disgraceful.

Terrible kicking out of hand from BB. It's been about 6 years straight of this crap. I was so happy not to see this bum start for the Blues this season...

Bring on the Chiefs halves, please. TJP is having a mare.

What a bottle job!

Ah well - back-to-back clutch conversions. Have to be happy for the kid!

Great game!

Well done, Argies!

Savea 190cm, Cane 189, Sititi 187 - have we ever started such a short backrow?

Zinny, Kronfeld, and Iceman, instantly springs to mind.

Jeez, didn't realise those guys were so short! Mind you, Iceman had springs in his heels, and they played mostly in the pre-lifting days.

Also, Zinny ...

Nice to see you here, MD :thumbup:

BB's days have to be numbered. Love is in the squad along with Plummer. I know the ABs is not a development arena, but there is some personnel to bring into the game and sooner is better than later when we think of ages and RWC cycles.

It's been a while, Guy ...

Shame about Blackadder always being broken. This happens at every level for the poor guy. Starts to build some form up, then falls over.

Good to see BB ...
