Nz domestic rugby 2020

[Dismal Pillock]

The best part of this entire rugby recommencement is that there could be some absolutely filthy hair on show to the world. From the Blues alone, Blake Gibson looks to be cultivating a Goodhue/mullet; Hoskins Sotutu has the Jerry Collins Guinness look going; I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but Sam Nock's hair has advanced to it's next evolutionary stage.

Nock's gone full Piha bogan. Pat T has the old ladies pink rinse

Looks like someone somewhere is missing their pet bunny.........

Akira's 3-metre high tipped over KFC chips carton in the background. Must be sleeping the feed off under that stands

Dane Coles is a cheat code

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Three cracking tries inside the first 20 & Loss Bleus have two of them! Rugby's back, bayby!

Edit: Blues targeting Wes Goosen with great success.

 

[The torpedo]

Absolute cracker so far. Who needs radical rule changes when proper policing of the laws works

^ just gotta hope they don't get spooked by the inevitable "too much whistle" whinging.

Tbh hasn't really been any contentious calls

^ absolutely but you just know some numpty from the Hurld or stuff will write an "over-refing" piece completely ignoring that fact.

Blues really unlucky with that obstruction penalty near the line; ball just went to the wrong tight-forward charging in at Warp 10. Otherwise would've been on the verge of another try. Also nice to have the lineout that isn't imploding for once.

I saw Christie warming up late in the half. Seems unlikely to turn into a blowout either way, so hopefully it's just a formality to keep the wee bugger busy/quiet and Nock, instead, plays out the whole match.

^ you're not losing much with Papali'i out there but geez Gibson getting injured yet again must be a worry.

Really the only contentious call this match

Canes defence much improved

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Sir tells Coles to tell TJP to zip it. Had to happen sooner or later.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Loss Bleus doing *sensible* whatever next?

Taking the three to maintain scoreboard pressure.

Edit: x2, that's a pretty handy lead now with 22 to go.

Edit: x3, game over.

 

[The torpedo]

Blues clinical. Could have been a bigger margin if not for a couple of silly penalties

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Had to poach BOTH canes 1st 5's to get it done but whatevs

Edit: Loss Bleus' fanboy #1 TJ in the comm seat.

Seemed to reign in the hate during this one. Maybe the collective brush with death c/o The Event has tempered his violently biased and hateful outlook on the Blues and he now sees them as almost human.

Blues Crusadering their way to victory and the top of the table, bitches! The brakes have well and truly been removed from hype train, so all aboard as we crash into the Tron next week.

EDIT: And think it's safe to say that Hoskins Sotutu is has claimed the mantle of Blues Designated Messiah 2020.

Damnit I lost that car breakout gif

EDIT: And think it's safe to say that Hoskins Sotutu is has claimed the mantle of Blues Designated Messiah 2020.

Slight logjam there, I think DC and Beaudy were also pencilled in for this year? Can we DARE to have a Holy Trinity of Designated Messiahs, all in the same year??

omfg I think I need a lie down

Blues coaching staff offer their
heartfelt condolences to Canes
organisation for beating them
and stealing both their 1st 5's.
