2017 RD15 Auckland Blues vs QNLD Reds (In Samoa)

[No4918]

The Blues only showed up yesterday. I think they're going to struggle bigtime with the heat so if Reds are anywhere near them at the 65 minute mark, it might well go the other way.

About 32c there now with apparent temps around 5c higher & it will only drop to about 28c by kick off.

Optimism overload.

True, I said "if". Should've said "really big IF"

Here is hoping, but the sweat might act like dew and make the ball too slippery for the Reds.

A winnable game for the Reds. The back 3 is dangerous for the Blues but Ranger has shown nothing for 2 years, I believe this is Nock's first start, Tupou at 6 is weak. Blues best lock this season Scrafton is also missing.

For the Blues hopefully Perofeta gets to finally debut.

You're playing the Reds. Guaranteed fade-out after 60 minutes and you'll run us down/extend your lead and win

its not going to be easy watching a game with no SBW mistakes,

Yeah but this is the Blues. Literally anything could happen. It could be a glorious 2003 era jailbreak or the rugby equivalent of Sharknado.

Everyone might need raincoats on - Dismal might get moist soon.

So much for Ranger being no good... Going to be a cricket score...

Otherwise we must all be pleased seeing a glimpse of Stiles-wise 2018.

There is a perfect example of the universal law that any answer that has Quade Cooper as the correct statement is prompted by an incorrectly framed question

Bit unfair - that kick has gone the best part of 80m. Pretty unlucky.

 

[dru]

Reds are jack, but honest how far off side are the Blues at the rucks?

 

[redveincheese]

Tupou has been huge. Scrum solid but ball security and lapses in the defensive structure let the Blues skip away.

 

[biggsy]

Thankfully the Blues have got there best on the field this week. Show how far behind the Reds are
