Auckland Blues To Infinity and Beyond

[KiwiM]

I really hope the Auckland NPC performance is a case of everyone relaxing after winning Super Rugby; because watching so many Blues players play so badly is worrying.

(Posted mid way through watching Auckland v Canterbury- a game most notable for TJ losing his shit multiple times in the commentary box on the back of some horrible play).

I wouldn't worry too much from a Blues point of view

For a couple of reasons

1) Auckland were shit last year

2) There are a lot of non Blues players in this team - in fact most of the team that played Canterbury is non Blues. By my count of only 5 of the starting XV are 2025 Blues players and only 1 or 2 of the bench.
