Rd 8: NSFW Waratahs vs The Auckland Blues

[Dismal Pillock]

Akira Ioane has arrived at Bondi Beach.

​

THE REST OF THE AUCKLAND BLUES ARRIVED AT ANOTHER PART OF THE BEACH.

​

YES, IT IS A BIT LIKE THE NORMANDY INVASION INS'T IT.

Desperate times for the Tahs now. They go to Auckland against a Blues side that has found form. They then have a bye and then return home to play the Rebels.

Lose these two games and it's very hard to see a way back for them.

Overall, I approve of this patriotic arrival. Though I think it needs more Napoleon/Napoleonic era Frenchiness, as les/loss Bleus is the theme we're going for. I nominate this as the Les Bleus theme.

EDIT: Darryl Gibson witnessing les Blues arrival in Sydney.

OOPS, thought this was an away game. The opening post now makes even less sense then the senselessness it started with. OH WELL.

​

I nominate this as the Les Bleus theme.

Definite upgrade from the Benny Hill theme song of the last 7 seasons​

^ kinda ironic that you've got them rocking up at Bondi instead of say Piha, a very Bleusy thing to do, is that

 

[Dismal Pillock]

ok, let's start again then.

Tom Carter, despite not being in the match day XXIII, arrives at Takapuna Beach.

not gonna lie dismal, waratahs hopes rose like the blowoff from akira's hover craft when you announced his arrival in bondi. any chance he needs a mid season break and holiday and will stay the week?

Beale to the bench, wonder if Gibson told him it was for a 'rest'.

He was quite crap last week, gibson should have told him he was dropped

 

[wamberal]

This is when we really sort the man from the boys.

And Beale to reply "You too."

Blues side named:

Big Karl is missing for some reason. Don't know why yet. Collins ahead of Duffie on the bench must be a case of the latter lacking match fitness. I suspect lack of match fitness may also be behind Scott Scrafton's absence. Hopefully they're both getting match time with the development team or something.

EDIT: As per this piece, Sheriff Tu'inukuafe is on an All Blacks rest.

Poor Greg Clark will have a tough test to keep a straight face as Rieko dominates his son for a hat trick.

 

[Up the Guts]

Hard to see our pack competing in the tight with the likes of Tuipulotu and Akira Ioane. We'll have to hope Israel shreds them in the backs if we're a chance.
