Sharks with a different 10. Lambie out of course, after such a good game last week, Bosch to 15.

Wiki shows him as a talented schoolboy, Bulls background, last two years at Bloemfontein. Usual position centre. Wonder if we'll see some positional change 10/15?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

There's a signature & avatar bet on tonight's game: in the Bloos corner the inimitable Dismal Pillock & in the CruSadists corner Teh Other Dave. Also at some point last week's loser The Torpedo will revert to his usual sig & av which is good 'cos having what appears to be multiple Dismals conversing on here is freakin' me out, man

Parsons really shouldn't be trying to offload. Twice he's tried and twice he's looked like a an epileptic at a rave.

I was going to say something like that, only less descriptive!

Times 3 - sharp start. Francis for Ihaia seems to be working well.

I know time tends to slow the further you travel south of Auckland, but I didn't realise Christchurch was still in 1997.

In saying that, I have every confidence that the Blues will use their collective psychic energy to accelerate time up to 2017 during the break and proceed to fall apart in the second half.

Blues look like they're playing the Rebels

Ahhh that knock on! Canterbury are killing me here!

Summary of the first half:

Cru back within 5
Learning the Brumbies playbook

 

[zer0]

Silly decision to go for three points with almost an entire half still to go. Blues have well and truly lost control of the game for now, and I'm not sure they have the gumption to take it back.

Sweet Jesus!
