Blues vs Force, Sun Mar 26th. Eden Park.

[Misunderstood fan]

Hamish Stewart moves into 10. Hegarty out.

[Shiggins]

Kalapu has made a huge a huge difference starting. Off the bench he has been great.

 

[Shiggins]

Happy with okeef there. Blues entering the ruck offside and in the side.

Also force scrum looked dominant.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

TJ's palpable hatred for the Blues today manifesting itself as a 1-day only deal 22-carat hard-on for his heroes for the next 80 minutes, today only, The Western Force

 

[whitefalcon]

The ruck has been a shit show so far

 

[Shiggins]

Force hanging in there. Great defence. I had the blues by 40 for this game.
I think the force need to score a lot of gets because kunzuel isn't that great with the boot

 

[Shiggins]

Force dominant in the scrum

 

[Shiggins]

Both ways. In surprised kalapu got away with that one. Looked in the side and grabbed it. Great to see a Kiwi ref being consistent tho

 

[Shiggins]

Knock on into chase in the air. it's a knock on ! Stupid call there.

 

[Shiggins]

I hate how the force get called for a marginal cleaning out in the side and then the blues do it multiple times and nothing gets called.

 

[Shiggins]

Great try force. Not used to seeing trys like that from the boys. They need to keep trying things like this and being more inventive.

That's never offside. The TMO is trying his hardest to dissallow the try. Meanwhile ignore the knock on and don't even look at it in the last try.

Hate to be proven right so fast. That's 5 easy points gone missing from the boot.

 

[Shiggins]

Don't kick at goal. Kunzuel will prob miss anyway hahaha. Rolling maul and could be in here.

 

[Shiggins]

Are neck rolls ok now ? Blues love a neck roll.

Okeef has been decent, force if anything getting the rub at the moment.

 

[zer0]

Haven't really noticed Plummer at all. He might be captain but hoping for an early injection of Evans in at 12 to see what he can do against a stout defence. Has also been good to see Perofeta reminded me what a #10 running the ball at the line looks like. Having Barrett there is like watching a latter day Naas Botha.

Yep zer0, and to add to it the 2 players who should be in Naki jersey combine for a pretty special try!

 

[Shiggins]

If we had a good place kicker out there the score would be 13-18 quite easily. At the moment the force look good but this one of those games that can slowly end up a mess. Without even realising the blues will be up 33-5

 

[Mr Pilfer]

Spinks is a beast love his hit ups but must be a toll on his body. Kalapu and Stewart excellent as well

need prior and others to make a bit impact when they come on.

can Stewart kick for goal?

 

[Equalizer]

Geez Kalapu is good. Hope we.can keep him for a while. Pulu and Tiatia look dangerous just need to put it all together. It's been physical, Medrano doing well and Spinks made some huge hit ups. Will be some tired bodies in the second half. Need IFL to bring the energy and look for some big hit ups by Amone.
