Great game Highlanders, so much desperation. Really gutsy win, Blues threw so much at them.

BlueThunder

Blues lose their heads in the last 20 so much this year. What the hell.

BlueThunder · Re: SRA - HIghlanders v Blues - Fri, 16 April, 7:05pm Blues leadership.

Blues leadership.

BlueThunder

Some lovely carries by Darry.

BlueThunder

Complete bullshit call, no way he could see anything. You disagree that he intentionally lifted his foot.. then brought it down in a hooking movement? I think the fact that his toes are pointed down after knocking the ball loose indicate he was trying for the ball as opposed to if he accidentally c...

Highlanders nice and patient with the ball, Blues are frantic. That's the difference at the moment.

BlueThunder

Pretty shit game. Bench halfback superior again, Nock is clear third now, appalling kicking game from him. Ruru with a bit more distance on the kicks and some snipes in close made a big difference. Ruru kicks too much and is part of why the Crusaders just love kicking halfbacks to enhance their att...

So Reiko can pass.

They were looking pretty decent their first couple games.

They fallen away badly the last couple games now.

I missed the Highlanders game but they have been shit in every game I've watched.

Blues can't cross the line on their own.

Blues driving Tana to drink.

BlueThunder

So what exactly happened here? Fatigue?

Mounga haters will relish the opportunity to have a go at him but I think he played pretty well with the ball he had and took some pressure off at times.

BlueThunder

It will always be a "what if" for me, what if Cane had started in the semifinal against England. Would he have stopped that early English forward momentum in its tracks like he did against Ireland?

BlueThunder

Issues with the Blues as I see it: Props: The squad is stacked but that shouldn't necessarily call for a huge change in game style. Make use of the depth the squad offers but the obsession with taking scrums and dodgy line out drives is costing us. Hooker: No standout in this position so the line ou...

BlueThunder

Perofeta is developing nicely, not a flash player but does the basics well.

BlueThunder

There was some real shit rugby at times but what a fascinating contest. Gutsy win Chiefs.

BlueThunder

The strategy isn't a bad one it's the execution that isn't great. Macdonald has a forward pack stacked with All Blacks so the idea must be to physically grind them into submission through constant scrum's and goal line defense and then taking the advantage when the bench rolls out. Didn't work last ...

BlueThunder

Christie needs to stop waiting for those lazy runners.

Need better kick chase from Telea.

BlueThunder

Rugby must be one of the most difficult sports to referee especially when played at pace. Not helped by the ever shifting laws, interpretations and directives from IRB. I think they need to introduce "benefit of the doubt" rules whereby in any given situation if the infringement or the decision is u...

BlueThunder

Big game for Christie to see if he can cement a starting place.

Not sure about Goodhue, would prefer Cowley-Tuioti to start. He was really good last year. Aside from that (and maybe Ruru) a bloody strong team on paper.

The Reece suplex (6/10) - the soccer style appeal (9/10)

Sickening, a truly shameful act of foul play, Patty could've been seriously injured being tackled in the air like that.

BlueThunder

He sold it like Ric Flair.

BlueThunder

Aside from the brain explosions the Blue's bench were a significant improvement over the starters. Heem had a suprisingly decent game. You have to admire how far the Blues have come under Macdonald, they are not that far off really and you can't blame him for the brain explosions and lack of composu...

BlueThunder

Marshall making sense re: Blues decision making.

BlueThunder

Has Gibson ever finished a match? Far out that guy is injury prone.

BlueThunder

Blues look knackered.

BlueThunder

As usual Crusaders have a bit more confidence and composure and it makes a huge difference.

BlueThunder

Papalii and Telea are big losses I reckon, would have called it even if they were starting.

BlueThunder

Governments conspire, lie and spread propaganda and misinformation all the time. Science is rife with fraud, corruption and poor methodology. Religion is full of proven perverts. So it''s pretty much gauranteed that there is pretty f**ked up and mind blowing stuff going on on a daily basis that the ...

Our journeyman discards collecting massive paychecks while performing poorly for NH test and club sides is hilarious, almost as funny is when nobodies from NZ become stars players up there.

If he doesn't start he shouldn't be selected.

Massive drop from Smith to Perenara.

Wow, the Springboks are shit this year.

How dare you.

Tasesa Lavea, so crap I'm not going to bother looking up how to spell his name.

Mehrts and Marshall.

BlueThunder

I'm finding it hard to enjoy the All Black matches, I keep thinking about this shitty appointment and how we could have been rebuilding and experimenting under an exciting new regime. I have no confidence in Foster and see nothing to look forward to until his contract is up. This team gives the impr...

Time to restrict non essential travel between the North and South Island re:covid. Cook strait is the easiest internal border to manage.

What's more infantilising, being called a nickname or someone getting offended on your behalf when you're the leader of the country and you've openly stated you're not bothered by it?

BlueThunder

Just following the social media trends I saw a lot of natural National supporters return to the fold when Muller took over. Bridges had literally driven away some of the dyed in the wool, true blue voters. He was that bad. Whilst everyone was disappointed in Mullers dismally short reign I think tho...
