How are the Blues shaping up? Looked at their squad and looked to have a few less top established names than the others but I'm new to the area so not up to speed.

This 50:22 rule is going to fuck it for the first few rounds.

That law's not being trialled in Super Rugby is it? I thought it was just being tried in the Americas Rugby Championship and Italian Cup?Lizard wrote:This 50:22 rule is going to fuck it for the first few rounds.

Is it not? I assumed all the variations were being trialled. That’s good if they’re not.

They're all being trialled, but not in all competitions at the same time. I think Super Rugby has the two high-tackle warnings and a 1 match ban, which I think just about everyone agrees is a good idea.Lizard wrote:Is it not?

I have read a few explanations but not sure I understand how that works. Does it replace a card etc. or is it for legal tackles that had dodgy technique?
I presume if you take someone's head off you are still getting sent off?

And that's another Blues season done and dusted.

How did Marchant get on?

Yeah, it's a sabbatical for a season, then he'll go back to Quins.cashead wrote:Marchant played reasonably well. Linked well with TJ Faiane in the midfield. I think he's on a 1-year contract, so it's a shame he'll move on at the end of the season.Puja wrote:Just seen the match report!

Interesting to see the Hurricanes getting clumped first up.

Is Rangi playing R Ioane on the wing or at centre?

Yeah, he was very good. Showed a fair bit of power for one of his tries.

Blooze. LOL.
Chiefs. Fuck yeah.
Hurricane's - huge number of lineout steals and Ben Lam brilliance are apparently enough to beat a team with a backline that is ludicrously fast but can't pass and can't catch.

Also a belated lol at the Skirty Bois. Just a shame it had to come at the hands of the Dual Dicks.

Man, the Chiefs are having a real Foster-era nostalgia night. So many errors, Cruden doing some fairly low percentage kick-plays...

Weird to be playing Marchant on the wing and Ioane at 13. Has Leon McDonald been reading Eddie Jones's book?

It's all backwards because Foster and/or Ioane will have a hissy fit otherwise. Personally I'd think either of those alone is reason enough to keep him on the wing.Puja wrote:Weird to be playing Marchant on the wing and Ioane at 13. Has Leon McDonald been reading Eddie Jones's book?
