Blues Vs Rebels Round 10 @ Eden Park

[zer0]

Eden Park is a cricket ground that hosts rugby matches. It's oval shape is horrible for both sports but won't be knocked down for two reasons: A) millions of dollars were spent on a half-arsed upgrade in 2011; B) a harbour side stadium in the CBD is just plain stupid. Also, visiting teams are sh*t scared of the place.

On the game itself, god knows. Les Blues are more French than the French. Could soar through in a 2003-esque blaze of glory or Hindenburg themselves.

Auckland - all the shithole charm of Broadmeadows, Campbeltown and Logan combined, with a slightly better harbour view.

Auckland, where the best thing to do is jump off a building and hope the breaks work?

 

[Mr Wobbly]

Stay tuned for one more change, as per almost every week. Culum Retallick will be on the plane

Any more news, RebelYell?

This could have dire consequences for my Fantasy Team

Best backline. Man, Rupeni was about the most balanced and powerful winger I've seen play. Shame he stayed fat and moved to France...

Timani out, Jeffries starting, Retallick on the bench.

Timani has a quad strain.

Unfortunately, he's unlikely to be available in June for England

Sorry, I didn't see this until now mate. As per above, it's bad news for LT

Strange the announcement was delayed until just prior to kick off given it must have been pretty certain if he's going to be out for an extended time.

Bugger!

A good chance for Jeffries to step up though, he's been good in the time he's had.

Gerz the soft tissue injuries just keep coming

No worries, I'd assumed you were probably sworn to secrecy or something

(and it was Jones I was worried about)

 

[KevinO]

Hodgey

 

[RebelYell]

So many soft tissue injuries since Zane Leonard left for the GC Suns. Shame.

 

[swingpass]

Good if lucky start

 

[KevinO]

Need to give Hodge kicking duties, JD kicking at about 60% is just jot good enough. Not having to worry about kicking might get his running game going.

Looking ominus, need to be more dominant in defence

 

[KevinO]

Soft try, not sure why the blues got the feed on the previous line out when they kicked it out?
