The Highlanders centre who terrorised the Waratahs just destroyed the Blues.

 

[Dan54]

Well I have seen everything now!! The Highlanders were great, and the Blues? Forwards were beaten up, and backs especially mif fielf weren't even on field were they? Lam an AB?? naaa, think Ioane will need to improve heaps too.

Maybe Cotter isn't the messiah we think he is for the Wallabies?

Good news is that they won’t need any new material this week

Tavatavanawai - dude's created a new position.

Lam an AB?? naaa

funny how with certain players you are happy to make bold claims 2 games in and others you bend over backwards to never criticise.

I think Cotter would be just fine as Wallabies coach - they have a big physical pack and Cotter's direct style would suit test rugby.

However - Cotter seems to only have one style and the new rules this year in Super really negate that.

Blues simplicity in attack last year was effective. This year it's negated and they don't have a plan B.

actually I didn't think he was last year either. I certainly wouldn't write him off after 2 games, meant more he's done nothing to change my mind is all.

 

[KiwiM]

Lam was sensational when he shifted to 12 last year for the Blues so I'd be interested to know what made you so convinced he was not an AB.

 

[Dan54]

Don't know mate, I just didn't think he was as sensational as you perhaps. I thought he was good without ever thinking 'geez love to see him in Black'. Not sure why, maybe just never got my head around the change of position or something. I will keep perhaps more of an eye on him this year.

Been offline for 12 days, radio rental record shopping in Tokio ffs. Started watching a replay of this match but the metal plate in my head started ringing, the one that signals system meltdown in The Blues Brainmeld so I quickly turned it off.

Blues go to 0-2 with that ******* Canes imposter ensconced at fullback. Yay, he's back from Japan!

Fuck me. If I saw the c**t in Tokyo I would've thrown my fucking records at him.

 

[Sully]

0-2 so far...

That's a long time-out even by your standards. I'm guessing Byron was mostly to blame but you took the rap because, well, I think we all know why by now: "he's not perfect, my Byron, but he's my Byron, y'know?"
